Gone girl alert! Lerato Nxumalo gets engaged

Former ‘Durban Gen’ actress Lerato Nxumalo decided to take a break from the big screen and managed to establish herself as one of the more exciting content creators to look out for. The media personality had opened up to her audience about her relationship with her wealthy partner, although keeping the information she shares to a minimum. The couple have taken their relationship to the next level as they got engaged during a family vacation.

As a lifestyle creator, Lerato’s content ranges from vlogs to brand collaborations, Get Ready With Me’s (GRWM) and everything you can imagine in between. Her consistency and reliability have propelled her to the top of the list of must-watch content creators, which is evident in her comments section as her supporters constantly urge her to post more as they cannot get enough of her content.

Recently, the former ‘Lingashoni’ actress shared that she, her partner along his family were preparing to go on a vacation to the Mother City. This raised the suspicions of her loyal audience because according to them, it is unusual for the couple to go on vacation with their family. This led them to believe that Lerato’s partner was potentially planning something special.

As it turns out, Lerato’s supporters were on the money as she came back to reveal that she and her partner were officially engaged. Although Lerato does not share much about her man, we know he is Swedish, which checks out as they are known to love their chocolate.

“…becoming Mrs LP ?❤️?… I LOVE YOU BABY!” she captioned the post.

You deserve this,” one user said. Many expressed that this win feels more personal, although Leratos is a stranger, with most crediting her relatability and willingness to open up about her heart.
