Reality TV star Her Majesty, real name Happy Simelane, has opened up about her relationship with her fiancé and father of her first child.

During a recent sit down on Podcast and Chill, the reality TV star spoke of the regrets she had about her late ex-husband, who died in a car accident while with his “side chick”. 

Happy also shed light on how she reunited with her fiancé, eight months after the death of her late partner. She recalled how her first love was once arrested due to a false rape charge she made.

“I was 19 years old and he was three years older than me. When he got me pregnant, I was forced to say I was raped. I was young and I didn't have a choice. He was falsely accused of raping me, while he didn't rape me. I wanted to tell the truth, and when I wanted to tell the truth he was arrested for about seven to eight months,” she said.

Happy revealed her now fiancé, who proposed to her when she was 19 years old, had now paid lobola. 

“This guy is my first love. He did nothing wrong to me, I'm the one who wronged him and still he's willing to come back into my life and build with me. And we make it work.”

Happy conquered life's many obstacles and is always willing to share her story.

In an episode of Showmax's The Mommy Club, Happy showed videos of her encounter with “Facebook rapist” and murderer Thabo Bester and how he asked her to “find people producing luxury content”.

Happy claimed she was almost trafficked by him. 

She said she had voice notes and texts messages for proof and added she spoke to “high-profile offender” Nandipha Magudumana — who is implicated in Thabo's crimes — who assured her their business was legitimate, because she had noticed “a lot of red flags”.
