Pretorius shared a glimpse of the sparkling engagement ring gifted by the Chiefs star, expressing her joy and excitement. Fans were quick to flood the couple's social media posts with congratulatory messages, celebrating their union.

From silverware to soulmate: A year to remember

2025 will undoubtedly go down as a standout year for Cross. Having become part of the first Kaizer Chiefs squad in a decade to lift silverware, the former Bidvest Wits and Schalke 04 man has now sealed another kind of victory, one of love.

As the footballer continues to solidify his place in the Chiefs’ backline, his off-field life seems equally stable and thriving.

Off-field wins for Amakhosi players

Cross’s engagement comes at a time when Kaizer Chiefs are undergoing major changes on and off the pitch. The club has already parted ways with several players, including Ranga Chivaviro and Sabelo Radebe, while ramping up efforts in the transfer market.

Despite the reshuffle, Cross remains a central figure in Molefi Ntseki’s defensive plans. Now, as he prepares for wedding bells, Cross is proof that good things can come in pairs, trophies and true love.

Congratulations pour in for the happy couple

Supporters have been invited to send well wishes to the soon-to-be Mr and Mrs Cross. It’s clear that while the season may be over, the celebrations are only just beginning for this Kaizer Chiefs star.

Kaizer Chiefs striker Gastón Sirino faces tax debt

Briefly News previously reported that Kaizer Chiefs striker Gastón Sirino is facing serious legal trouble after the South African Revenue Service (SARS) hit him with a massive R6.1 million tax bill.

This follows alleged non-payment of personal income tax, despite repeated warnings and a final letter of demand. SARS has now applied for a default judgment at the Johannesburg High Court, which could lead to the seizure and auctioning of Sirino’s assets if he fails to settle or make payment arrangements.
