A year of love: Itu and Sbahle are still going strong

We knew that they have been dating for months but did you know that it's already been over a year since Itu and Sbahle first started dating?

The pair no doubt surprised some fans when they took to social media this past weekend to announce their one-year anniversary!

• Fancy! Itu spoils Sbahle with a pair of LouboutinsSoccer star Itumeleng Khune sure knows how to keep his lady happy. 

Like watching your child grow up it seems like just yesterday that the couple first lifted the lid on their romance, posting several pictures and cute messages to each other.

The pair marked the special occasion by once again posting a cute picture together.

The couple have faced their fair share of haters over the last few months, with many questioning how long their romance will last. But they seemed to brush these aside by expressing how much they love each other.

"One year ago this day we started dating. Happy anniversary my fitness bunny Sbhale. I love you," Itu wrote. Sbahle wrote: "Our very own one-year anniversary.  I love you Itumeleng Khune."

And just when you thought their romance couldn't get any more cuter, one fan pointed out that the pair started dating on the day right between their birthdays.

"I think it's really cool that her birthday is on the 18th, anniversary on the 19th, and your (Itu) birthday on the 20th."

Here's are just some of the reasons why we hope they have many more years together:

They work out together.

They say a couple who gym together, stay together. So far, so good.

She had his name written on her hand (and heart).
