"It only took 6 years and 2 babies. Don't lose hope, girls 🤣 💍," she quipped in her post, encapsulating both humour and hope for those still waiting for that special moment.
While many of de Villiers' followers flooded her comments section with congratulations, some questioned the lengthy engagement.
Acknowledging their youthful beginnings, she clarified, 'A lot of people made it seem like it took him so long to propose, but we started dating at 19, hence the timeframe of 6 years 🤣 we are definitely at an age I imagined we would get engaged, haha.'

‘Ladies first' at Zappas Women's Day bash
Zappas Restaurant celebrated Women's Day with a lively celebration on Saturday, featuring a world record attempt and a focus on 'old-school' gentlemanly respect for women. Restaurant manager Chrisna Oosthuizen said the event formed part of the eatery's month-long Ladies First campaign. For a whole month, her restaurant is embracing the 'Ladies First' theme, encouraging a nod to old-school courtesy with a world-record attempt. 'This is to remind the ladies that although we are in a man's world, we are still women. We should still be treated like women and with equality.' The goal was to gather at least 472 women in the bar at exactly 18:00. This would have made it the biggest gathering of women in one bar at the same time. All the women who turned out were treated to free punch, special menus, and souvenirs that would leave them feeling seen and appreciated during Women's Month. Although the turnout was spirited and the energy vibrant, they ultimately did not manage to break the record. 'This is not only about breaking a record but also about reclaiming space for women in an atmosphere that felt both celebratory and respectful, where they were the honoured guests,' she said. Attendee Kgomotso Madumo said the event was a welcome chance to relax. 'It's not every day that women get treated like queens for free. I came with my friends and we felt safe and appreciated. The free punch was a nice touch,' she said. Another guest, Karin van der Westhuizen, said she enjoyed the atmosphere and message behind the day. 'The idea of reminding men to be gentlemen is beautiful. In a world where violence against women is still so high, events like these are important for awareness and unity,' she said.

Music was always my desire – 'Skylar Star'
SASOLBURG.- As part of Women's Month, Sedibeng Ster looks at the life and career of this upcoming and rising hip hop artist. Boitumelo Pitso, otherwise popularly known as 'Skylar Star' by her fans, is a young recording and performing artist who is eager to make a name for herself in the music industry. Regardless of the challenges, Pitso is determined to make her dream a reality, especially in hip-hop music. This multi-talented artist is not just a musician; she is also a composer and songwriter of her own music. Skylar Star is well-known for her unique melodic sound, blending and mixing it with culture, lifestyle, and life experience as R&B, hip hop, trap, rap, Afropop, house, and amapiano. Speaking to Sedibeng Ster, Pitso said she loves art and has always wanted to be a superstar since she was a little kid. She told Sedibeng Ster that she is also fond of drawing, painting, dancing, and modelling, but her desire has always been to become a musician. 'Growing up, I had inspiration from Hip Hop music, which resonated deeply with my role models Rihanna and Lil Wayne, among others. My dream right now is to be a well-recognised musician, model, fashionist, and entrepreneur. It is not easy to be a musician or DJ because our talent here at ground level is taken for granted. We are not treated like those so-called celebrities. But regardless of these challenges, I won't give up on my God-given talent. I will push until my dreams come true. The only thing I need is to promote myself, especially my music, to the world. I want the world to know who is 'Skylar Star', a young girl from Sasolburg,' she said. Skylar Star told Sedibeng Ster that she used to write poetry as she was expressing her emotions through writing. She wrote her own song back in 2020, and this is where she realised that she can create music from her life experiences. She has been invited to perform at high-profile events in Vaal and the Free State. Skylar Star recently released her first album called Butterfly. The album is already trending on all her digital platforms. Her music can be found on the following social media platforms.
