The couple reportedly dated for roughly three years, with some time on and off, before Simelane proposed earlier in 2026. Lobola negotiations followed, leading to the traditional wedding that has since set social media alight.

It instantly became a celebration of two cultures, fusing Swati and Xhosa traditions, featuring cultural performers, vibrant dress, and family from both sides coming together to mark the union. Bianca has spoken about the behind-the-scenes of her dreamy wedding.

In a post on 14 July 2026, she wrote, "POV: You're a chatty bride 😏" in another post, she wrote, "It was going down in my Granny's room 🎭😩 CHAOS was the order of the day 🌀😅." The clip, set to Bianca's own original audio and edited on CapCut, had fans in stitches while also sparking conversation about who exactly the lucky groom is.
