South African model and media personality Ayanda Thabethe recently marked a special milestone as she celebrated her fiancé Peter Matsimbe’s 35th birthday in an elegant and intimate gathering surrounded by close friends and family.
Ayanda shared highlights from the celebration on Instagram, where she stunned in a sleek, black, figure-hugging dress.
In one touching photo, she is seen planting a sweet kiss on Peter’s cheek as they posed in a venue beautifully adorned with white and gold balloons, giving the event a graceful, luxurious feel.
In her birthday tribute to Peter, Ayanda wrote:
“It’s crazy how you’re on TOP but you’re just getting started. Happy birthday to my KING. Here’s to looking at you forever my king.”
The couple, who share two young sons, have openly expressed their love and admiration for each other over the years.
In December 2024, Ayanda announced their engagement, revealing that the romantic proposal had occurred on December 27.
The magical moment featured a walkway scattered with white flower petals, LED lights spelling “Will you marry me?”, and a live violinist playing soft tunes as Ayanda made her entrance. Every moment was captured on camera, making the memory timeless.
Reflecting on the proposal, Ayanda shared:
“You are the perfect sunset where my quest for love has found its ending and the spectacular sunrise where my most meaningful adventure begins. Thank you for the greatest gift of all: your heart and our sons. I am deeply honoured to be your first and only wife, the one chosen to share this lifetime of love with you.”
Earlier this month, Ayanda also marked a personal milestone in her Instagram Stories—four years since she first met Peter on May 31, 2021. She lovingly wrote:
“Four years ago on May 31, 2021, I met the guy I wanted to annoy forever. Life has changed so much since then but annoying you is for life. Love you with all my heart my love. Thank you for changing my life and making me the happiest wife ever.”
As fans continue to gush over their beautiful relationship, Ayanda and Peter remain one of South Africa’s most admired celebrity couples, serving relationship goals with every post.
