What Montjane’s message said:

"Oh my love, as you turn another year older, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for being the man you are," Montjane wrote on Instagram.
"You are an amazing husband and an even more incredible father to our children. Meeting you 14 years ago was one of the best things that happened to me, even though I didn’t realise it then. I’m always in awe at how God orchestrated our meeting so perfectly. If you had walked out of that radio station two minutes earlier, or if I had walked in two minutes later, we wouldn’t have met that day. But God…
"Thank you for making it so easy for me to follow your leadership as my husband, for showing up for me in every way, supporting my dreams, encouraging me, and for choosing me and us every day. Life with you is pure bliss because I can be my true self, all the different versions of me, and you love me anyway. I’m so happy to share this crazy journey of love and life with you.
