‘You really are my world': Lorraine Moropa gushes over Tyler ICU on their anniversary
The couple got engaged earlier this year during a romantic Zanzibar beach proposal.
Moropa has praises the DJ's consistency in love, calling him an 'answer to whispered prayers'.
Celebrity couple Tyler ICU and actor Lorraine Moropa continue to serve relationship goals since becoming Instagram official and getting engaged.
The pair recently celebrated their anniversary with heartfelt tributes to each other.
'There is something so sacred about doing life with someone who loves you gently, prays with you honestly, and chooses you daily. Our love is steady, grounding, and full of grace. A quiet answer to prayers I whispered when no one was listening,' Moropa wrote.
Tyler equally expressed his love for Moropa.
'Mama ka Blue. One full year with my best friend and the love of my life. Thank you for sticking by my side, making it easy to love you. So blessed to share my life with you in this lifetime and beyond. I'm so in love with you in every reality we are in, I love you,' he wrote in the comments.
In her sweet post, Moropa said the DJ was the only person under the sun she was determined to share her last slice of pizza with.

'Your love reaches the deepest parts of me and heals my inner child in ways I never thought possible. Thank you for praying with me, laughing with me, and loving me when I am cute and even when I am being a full-blown drama series.'
The actor continued: 'God knew exactly what he was doing when he brought us together. You hold my hand in prayer and continue to grasp on it firmly when all odds are against us. Thank you for loving me the way you do. You really are my world.'
This isn't the first time Moropa has publicly sung praises of her fiancé, particularly highlighting how consistent the Mnike hitmaker is when it comes to loving her and making her feel safe and secure in their relationship.
She previously wrote, 'To be loved so gently, so slowly and so softly that you have no choice but to let your guard down, surrender, and be vulnerable is such an indescribable feeling, I cannot believe l've felt since l've met Blue's Dad.'
The 28-year-old continued, 'You'd swear our paths just crossed, and I'm probably still infatuated because how can a person be so consistent? This is truly the kind of love that makes me believe in God if there were ever doubts in me.'
Earlier this year, the pair made their engagement official when Tyler popped the question. Moropa posted pictures of them together at a beach in Zanzibar, proudly showing off her engagement ring.
'The 3rd of January was supposed to only be Baba ka boy's birthday, but it also became the beginning of the rest of my life,' Lorraine wrote.
'I said yes to a forever with my best friend. I couldn't be more grateful to God for this wonderful gift of love,' she continued.

After 50 years, the Fleshtones ‘finally figured out how to make a record'
Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the Fleshtones, so it's fitting that the rock-and-soul quartet ponders mortality on its latest album, 'It's Getting Late (... and More Songs about Werewolves).' The record includes an instrumental titled 'The Hearse' and a cover of an obscure Johnny Rivers song, 'Love Me While You Can,' that advises, 'Tomorrow the sun might not shine.' 'Yes, it is getting late,' singer-keyboardist Peter Zaremba acknowledges by phone from his New York City home. 'People we know are dying, you know? Our contemporaries. And younger, right?' At 70, Zaremba is only slightly older than the band's other founding member, singer-guitarist Keith Streng, and drummer Bill Milhizer, who joined in 1980. Ken Fox, who became the band's bassist in 1990, is 'almost 10 years younger,' Zaremba notes. 'He's a kid.' Of the bands that began their careers at famed New York City music club CBGB in 1976, only the Fleshtones have been active continuously ever since. Yet none of the members still live in Queens, where the group was founded. Zaremba divides his time between Brooklyn and 'way, way up in the northwest corner of Connecticut.' Fox and Milhizer moved upstate, and Streng is in Stockholm. 'We've been diffused, which is a problem,' allows Zaremba. 'We have to make an effort to get together.' 'It does keep us from getting tired of each other,' he adds. The Fleshtones are often described as a garage-rock band, and Zaremba agrees that the mid-1960s genre is one of their wellsprings. But he also lists blues, rhythm and blues, and New Orleans-style soul as important precedents. Pre-reggae Jamaican music is what Zaremba calls 'the hidden influence.' 'We've always used Jamaican music as an inspiration. The more R&B music, not so much the drugged-out kind of stuff.' The Fleshtones are known for cover versions, mostly of obscure or unexpected songs. ('It's Getting Late' includes a Stones-style version of Elton John's 'Empty Sky.') But Zaremba denies that he's a pop-music scholar. 'A lot of it was just stuff that we kind of remembered hearing on the radio or something,' he says. 'If I heard a song once in 1965, I can potentially remember what that song was.' The singer also reports that fans, friends 'and my cousin in St. Louis' often pitch little-known gems to the band, and that 'we try not to cover songs a lot of other people have covered.' Nine of the latest album's 13 songs were composed by Zaremba and Streng, and one by Fox. The band's songwriting hasn't faltered, the vocalist explains, because 'things keep happening to us. So we keep having things to write about. And it's weird, but I still have a bit of a backlog of songs in my head that I've been actually thinking about since the '60s.' 'Sometimes they sort of sound like they're from the '60s. Because they are.' An example of that is the new album's 'Morphine Drip,' which might sound as if it's about an end-of-life experience. It was actually inspired by the aftermath of a severe injury Zaremba suffered as a teenager. 'Morphine drip/ It didn't help a bit!' howls the song's chorus. One thing that has changed over time is the band's facility in the recording studio. 'We finally figured out how to make a record,' the singer says. 'Something that eluded us for about 20 years.' 'We don't spend three days getting a kick drum sound,' he notes. 'We know how to get sounds a lot quicker. We don't do 20 takes of a vocal. We go for it a lot fresher.' That urgency is also evident onstage, whether the band is playing in Europe — home to much of its fan base — or at 9:30 Club in D.C. 'It's wonderful,' Zaremba says. 'Not only are we still alive, but we're enjoying doing this so much. We make people happy. And we make ourselves happy at the same time.' So the Fleshtones will continue, the singer vows, even if it is getting late. 'We're just going to keep playing until it's, like, ridiculous.' Aug. 14 at 7 p.m. at 9:30 Club, 815 V St. NW. $32.50.

World record: 1 100 marimba players unite in Cape Town for largest ensemble
'It's impossible to feel sad when you play marimba.' Coordinator Kiara Ramklass said this was the joy that more than 1 100 young musicians set out to capture when they broke the Guinness World Record for the largest marimba ensemble. Ramklass added that the 1 177 young musicians from across South Africa and Zimbabwe came together in Cape Town to break the record after two years of planning. An official adjudicator from Guinness oversaw the event. Ramklass said every participating child would receive an official gold medal from Guinness World Records. 'It was really an amazing moment of unity for us to come together on Saturday and break this world record. The theme of the evening was 'united in harmony', and I think that spoke to the greater cause behind this world record. 'The marimba is present in almost every part of society, so we all came together to play this beautiful instrument, transcending socioeconomic barriers. I think it was just palpable, that feeling of unity and ubuntu,' she added. Ramklass described the marimba as a 'community instrument' that united people. 'You need the bass player, the tenor player, and the soprano player to make a full sound. The marimba is a community builder, and it was really beautiful for us to bring together the marimba community to achieve this beautiful record altogether.' Ramklass fell in love with the marimba at the age of 12. 'I also learned other musical instruments at school, like the flute and trombone. But the marimba was just this one instrument that I really just loved. Every Tuesday afternoon, I would wait for my marimba lesson,' she said. Ramklass continued: The marimba has got such a beautiful, warm sound that just makes me feel at peace, at ease. Just the way that you play this instrument, the physicality involved, is a way to de-stress. It was more than just an instrument; it was like I was a part of home. Inspired to share her love of marimba, Ramklass started Marimba Jam in 2012 as a Grade 11 pupil wanting to make an active change to address the inequality in music education in her community. Marimba Jam provides access to the psychological and social benefits that accompany the joy of playing in a marimba band. The project initially consisted of a week-long marimba workshop during the school holidays with 10 girls from Zimasa Secondary School in Langa, Cape Town, an under-resourced school. However, a decade later, Marimba Jams employed more than 20 part-time student teachers, who teach 500 pupils from 13 schools across the Western Cape. 'It was a small community project to share this love of marimba. And I then started teaching marimba bands at the university. It grew into a social enterprise, where we now teach over 500 learners weekly. We have a branch in Johannesburg now. And when our learners matriculate, they join what we call the Marimba Jam Academy, and now we train as professional teachers and marimba players in the industry,' Ramklass said. Supplied/ Marimba Jam She added that the marimba was an accessible instrument, because players did not need to know how to read music to play it. 'For many of the children we teach, it's their only way of experiencing the benefits of learning musical instruments at school. That includes learning teamwork and confidence, and cognitive development. In some communities, there are not many opportunities for these kids. Marimba gives them something to focus on, so they are not drawn into negative spaces. The broader impact is huge.'
