The 23-year-old shared the special moment on Instagram, posting images of himself proposing on a romantic beach setup. The engagement took place at Sea Park in KwaZulu-Natal, where a carefully arranged picnic featured red rose bouquets and a "Marry Me" display, creating a lovely atmosphere.
In 2024, Venter earned his first cap for the Springboks, helping secure a victory over Portugal. Reflecting on the experience, he described it as both emotional and incredible, giving him a chance to demonstrate his talent on the international stage.
Venter told SA Rugby: "It was an emotional experience for both me and my family, and personally, a fantastic opportunity. If someone had told me just two weeks earlier that I’d make my Test debut, I wouldn’t have believed it. It was unexpected and truly unforgettable."

Beyond his international appearances, Venter continues to thrive in his professional rugby career, recently extending his contract with The Lions through 2028.
His contract renewal was followed by Boan Venter's transfer to the Lions. The Boks star is returning to South Africa from Europe after a successful spell with the Springboks this season, and participated in some of the end-of-the-year matches. Boan played against France in Paris and also when the team defeated Ireland in Dublin.
