“Forever Has Begun” Ayanda Thabethe Marries Peter Matsimbe in a Romantic Private Ceremony

After four years of growing together and raising two beautiful boys, South African media personality Ayanda Thabethe has officially married her partner, Peter Matsimbe.

In an emotional Instagram post shared on Friday, 4 July, Ayanda invited fans into a moment she has clearly held close to her heart. She and Peter signed their marriage certificate in a deeply spiritual ceremony surrounded by family and friends on Sunday, 29 June.

Accompanying a soft and elegant video, she wrote words that melted hearts across the country:
“In front of God and surrounded by love, we signed a promise that began long before pen met paper.”
She also shared a verse from Song of Songs:
“I have found the one whom my soul loves.”

A Love Story Kept Close

Unlike many public romances, theirs has unfolded quietly behind the scenes. Ayanda first revealed her engagement in December 2024, sharing the news privately with her Instagram close friends. However, before she could announce it herself, someone from that group shared it publicly.

Despite the premature reveal, Ayanda remained graceful and eventually confirmed the engagement with her signature poise. Now, months later, she and Peter have sealed their commitment in an intimate and heartfelt ceremony.

This moment is not just about the wedding itself; it is about the years of partnership, parenting, and prayer that have brought them to this chapter.

Celeb Circle Sends Love

As soon as she posted the reel, Ayanda’s timeline blossomed into a virtual bouquet of love.

Radio host Pearl Modiadie commented,
“So dreamy. Congratulations, beautiful. Here’s to your forever.”

Actress Connie Ferguson added,
“Congratulations to you and Peter, beautiful. So so happy for you.”

TV host and reality star Laconco wrote in isiZulu,
“Inkosi inibhathise Ayanda Kuhle konke,”
which translates to “May the Lord bless you, Ayanda. It is all beautiful.”

Rapper and presenter Boity Thulo expressed,
“This is so glorious. Congratulations, sis. May God eternally bless your union.”

Another Star Joins the 2025 Love Wave

Ayanda now joins a growing list of South African stars who have tied the knot this year. From Natasha Joubert and Zozibini Tunzi to Ntando Duma and Candice Modiselle, love is clearly having a moment in the spotlight.

But Ayanda’s approach feels different. It is slower, gentler, and deeply rooted in personal meaning. There were no flashy public countdowns, no frenzy of hashtags or pre-wedding content, just love in its truest form.

A Marriage Built on Faith and Family

Ayanda and Peter have already built a life filled with shared values and joy. Their sons are a living part of this story, and their wedding is just the next chapter in what already looks like a grounded and God-centred union.

More than just a celebrity wedding, this is a quiet affirmation of what love can be when nurtured with care.

To Ayanda and Peter: your forever begins now. May it continue to bloom just as beautifully as your journey has so far.
