In a world where flashy gifts and staged romances often dominate celebrity headlines, Sorisha Naidoo and Vivian Reddy reminded South Africans what genuine love looks like. The Real Housewives of Durban star recently shared a touching video on Instagram where her billionaire husband surprised her with a massive diamond ring, not for an anniversary or a milestone, but simply as a gesture of love.

A Date Night with a Twist
The clip begins like any other couple’s outing, but quickly takes a heartwarming turn. Vivian, ever the romantic, presented Sorisha with the glittering diamond. Her reaction a stunned “wow” followed by a kiss, said it all.
“Thank you for a love that needs no occasion,” she wrote in her caption. “For surprise flowers in quiet moments, for laughter that lights the room, for a heart that gives freely.”
It wasn’t just about the sparkle on her finger. For Sorisha, the gift was another reminder of the bond they’ve built over more than two decades together.
Love Beyond Public Scrutiny
Married since 2003, Sorisha and Vivian have weathered their fair share of criticism. When she first tied the knot with the businessman, who is 23 years her senior, many branded her a “gold-digger.”
Sorisha has since addressed the criticism with grace: “It used to haunt me, but I don’t care now. I always earned a reasonably good salary, and I’ve never stopped working.”
Over time, their enduring partnership has silenced most of the doubters. Fans now celebrate them as one of South Africa’s most admired power couples.

Social Media Reactions: From Side-Eyes to Soft Hearts
The video struck a chord online, sparking waves of admiration across Instagram. Many fans commented that Sorisha’s joy was contagious, with one follower writing: “This is what real romance looks like, no occasion, just love.”
Another joked: “If being a hopeless romantic is a crime, Vivian Reddy is guilty as charged.”
Even Vivian joined in, responding to Sorisha’s post with his own heartfelt words: “You are my strength, my joy and the love of my life. Walking this journey with you is the greatest gift I will ever know.”
A Family Built on Love
The couple’s love story isn’t only about each other, it’s also reflected in their family. Recently, they celebrated their son Sai’s 17th birthday. Vivian took the opportunity to publicly thank Sorisha for bringing their son into the world, calling him “a reflection of her kindness and heart.”
More Than a Diamond
While the oversized diamond ring may grab attention, what truly resonated was the sincerity behind the gesture. In an age where reality TV thrives on conflict and drama, Sorisha and Vivian continue to show that long-lasting love is built on small, consistent acts of care.
From surprise flowers to quiet laughter, their romance is less about extravagance and more about intention. And perhaps that’s why, after more than 20 years, their story still captivates South Africans.
