Since then, the pair seems to have found their footing and have often exchanged loved-up messages and expensive gifts, leaving the rest of Mzansi swooning each time. But taking to her social media on Friday, the actress lamented not being able to usher in the New Year with her boo in tow.

Khanyi wrote:

"The 31st will forever be a special day for me going forward. As much as it’s the last day of the year and lots to be grateful for, today becomes very sentimental. Today is the day I started my relationship, and a year later, with all its lessons, experiences, laughter, tears and joy it has been a blessing."

She added:

"Sadly the travel bans have stollen this moment, we would have lit up the sky and painted the day silver and gold and made the atmosphere sparkle. But this won’t get my spirit down, there is so much to celebrate and to live for. Thank you darling for 365 days of learning and bliss."
