'Forever yena' — Akani Simbine finds his happily ever after

Akani Simbine is officially off the market. 

Congratulatory messages flooded the South African sprinter's Instagram timeline on Thursday after he revealed he got traditionally married. 

Akani shared a picture of himself wearing traditional attire alongside his partner who had a diamond ring on her ring-finger. 

“Forever yena,” he captioned the post.

Akani's love journey has made headlines on various occasions before he found his happily ever after.

In early 2017, Akani and news anchor Abigail Visagie were one of Mzansi's favourite celebrity couples — this was until they quietly broke up in 2018. 

Akani then moved on to a new relationship with Cape Town netball player Jo Prins in 2019 and later got engaged to her in 2021.

The engagement did not last long though. Social media users later noticed Jo no longer wearing her ring, concluding that their engagement was called off.
