Life after the Duminy marriage

The confirmation comes roughly 18 months after Duminy and Sue Erasmus announced the end of their 14-year marriage in February 2025.

The former couple share two daughters. Sue, who reverted to her maiden name Erasmus, has equally moved forward, announcing her engagement to businessman Franco Roberto late last year. She has also spoken about channelling her personal journey into writing a pre-marital workbook for couples.

Mzansi had plenty to say about Duminy's romantic reveal. Some followers were genuinely warm:

"Stunningly beautiful couple 💗❤️❤️❤️"

@gayle_jacobs added:

"Ya'll look amazing!!!!! @alannahwhite09 @jpduminy"

@_cuddles_me_ simply dropped:

"🔥🔥awesomeness"

Not everyone was so celebratory, with several South African users dragging Duminy in the comments over the timing and speed of the public debut, pointing out that both he and Sue appear to have moved on at a similarly swift pace since the split was announced.
