After years of heartbreak, betrayal, reconciliation and emotional rollercoasters, the couple affectionately known as PreHasa are set to tie the knot. From the start, Pretty and Lehasa’s relationship has been anything but smooth sailing. Their romance has survived family disapproval, painful breakups, impossible decisions and public scrutiny.
But through every setback, including fans advising Pretty to dump Lehasa, the couple continued finding their way back into each other’s arms.
