Fate, however, would bring them back together. “They kept bumping into each other; it just seemed destined to be. One night, he bought her coffee, they braaied marshmallows over a candle, he told her he loved her – and they’ve been inseparable ever since”, the magazine TV show reported.

The couple would later tie the knot in a glamorous wedding in 2016. Seven years and three children later, the couple are still blissfully in love.
