Le Clos and Mulder announced their relationship in 2018, posting a series of loved-up pictures of themselves on their respective social media accounts.

Durban-born Le Clos included a picture of Mulder as an Instagram story to show his support for her bid to become the newest Miss South Africa winner.

Le Clos memorably won the men’s 200m butterfly gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics beating American swimming superstar Michael Phelps to the wall.

He also added the silver medal in the 100m butterfly and four years later in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 he took silver in both the 100m butterfly and 200m freestyle.
