Thembi graces the cover of this month's True Love magazine where she opened about her career and her long term romance with Bo.
During the interview Thembi revealed that the reason they haven't taken the plunge yet, is because she decided to delay the wedding.
"I delayed setting a wedding date because I’ve realised that marriage isn’t about the wedding ceremony or a ring on my finger, it’s about the connection you build with your partner. It was obviously awkward at first to have the conversation with Bo... that I didn’t want to get married too soon after getting engaged," she said.
Thembi admitted that Bo wanting to get married immediately after the engagement actually scared her.
"Many women don’t say this out loud, but the truth is that when someone asks for your hand in marriage, you ask yourself these questions. The difference with me is that I decided to seek out answers before jumping into marriage."
The actress also revealed that she and Bo are eager to become parents, and are "working" on that aspect of their lives.
Thembi and Bo have fiercely guarded their romance over the years, only sharing snippets of their love on social media.
But one thing's evident is that these two are totally besotted with each other.
