Reactions to the new engagement

Hundreds of comments from fans and celebrities like respected South African actress Renate Stuurman, Nandi Madida and Lerato Mvelase flooded Precious Kofi's post, congratulating her on the new milestone.

Healing from the past

Precious Kofi was previously married to an American man only referred to as Mr. Schamel.

After relocating from the Eastern Cape to the United States, that six-year marriage ultimately ended in divorce in 2017.

In a vulnerable YouTube vlog uploaded in 2025, Precious reflected on her life as a 37-year-old divorced mother of two. She confessed that she walked into her first marriage completely unequipped. Because her parents split when she was 19, her only real blueprint for romance came from television soap operas.

Doing things differently with counselling

Reflecting on her past, Precious Kofi believes that having an objective third party could have changed the trajectory of her first marriage.

"Having a third party with whom you’re discussing important issues is a good idea."

She noted that a professional could have given them the necessary conflict-resolution skills to handle their age, racial, and cultural differences.

Determined to set a stronger foundation this time around, Precious, who admitted she had temporarily given up on the idea of marriage, is making sure history doesn't repeat itself.

Precious Kofi said she and her new fiancé are prioritising premarital counselling to guarantee they are fully aligned before exchanging vows.
