Jacques and Angelique's relationship timeline

The two first became a couple in 2014, when Angelique was well known for playing the beloved character Clara on the SABC soapie 7de Laan. They wed in 2016 at a wine farm in the Western Cape and went on to have three children: son Jacques Jnr and twin daughters Annabella and Olivia.

For years, Jacques was vocal about his affection for his wife, at one point writing publicly:

"Thank you very much for your unconditional love. It is so nice for me to wake up next to you every morning and be able to call you my wife."

See the picture in the post below.

Their marriage ended in 2022, a split that surprised many who had followed the couple's public life.
