Very cute. Very romantic: Papa Joy asks Mama Joy and she says yes!!

Oh, what a joyous and romantic moment it was! The question every heart hopes for was asked, and Mama Joy said a breathless, overjoyed yes!

South Africa’s beloved superfan, Mama Joy, and her adoring partner, Papa Joy, shared a heartfelt, intimate moment that delighted their fans.

On Wednesday, days before the highly anticipated Springbok-All Blacks clash, Mama Joy welcomed Papa Joy at OR Tambo International Airport with her radiant smile and unmistakable energy.

Their love story blossomed as they journeyed from Johannesburg to Cape Town, filled with laughter and affection, ready to cheer for their beloved Boks.

The couple shared their experience of the intense game where the Springboks triumphed over the All Blacks, winning 18-12 after a nail-biting 80 minutes.

Their shared adventure was more than just a trip. It was a celebration of love. Mama Joy took Papa Joy to the enchanting sights of Cape Town, proudly showing him the city’s charm.

But it was at the awe-inspiring Cape Point Nature Reserve, where the wild beauty of the land meets the ocean’s edge, that Papa Joy made the most romantic move.

Amid the sweeping views and crashing waves, he dropped to one knee, asking the woman who had captured his heart to be his forever.

With tears of joy, Mama Joy – real name Joy Chauke – shared this precious moment with her fans.


Their love had first come to light during the 2023 Rugby World Cup, and in August, they further ignited their passion with a magical trip to Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympics.

A glistening ring sparked rumours of an engagement, now confirmed by this beautiful proposal.
