‘To be loved so gently': Lorraine Moropa melts hearts with sweet tribute to fiancé Tyler ICU
The pair got engaged during a romantic trip to Zanzibar in January, marking the start of their journey to forever.
Their relationship became public last year during a Bali trip, surprising fans with photos that went viral.
Love is clearly in the air for South African actor Lorraine Moropa, who recently headed online to sing the praises of her fiancé, local musician Austin Khulani Baloyi - known best by his stage name Tyler ICU.
Taking to her Instagram, the 'Lithapo' star gushed over how consistent the Mnike hitmaker is when it comes to loving her and making her feel safe and guarded in the relationship.
She 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 I've felt since I'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.'
The couple left everyone pleasantly surprised after announcing their engagement earlier this year.
While on a romantic getaway to Zanzibar in January, Tyler decided to take the plunge and ask the TV bombshell to marry him. Sharing an update online, she wrote, 'The third of January was supposed to be Baba ka boy's birthday, but it also became the beginning of the rest of my life.'
She continued: 'I said YES to a Forever with my best friend. I couldn't be more grateful to God for this wonderful gift of love.'

Which Strictly couples are still together? Inside the BBC show's greatest love stories
Strictly couples who have gone the distance, with some couples even getting married and having babies Molly Rainford and Tyler West got engaged three years after meeting on the BBC show but who are Strictly's other success stories? There is always talk of the Strictly curse, where some celebrity contestants and their professional dance partners fall in love while their relationships in the outside world fall apart. But what about Strictly's greatest love stories? While professional dancer Aljaz Škorjanec and former pro Janette Manrara didn't meet on the show, much of their love story has played out while they have shared the Strictly dancefloor together. Manrara now hosts the spin-off show and juggles looking after their daughter while Škorjanec returned to his job as a professional dancer on the BBC show. Among the Strictly couples still together, Ex-EastEnders actor Jimi Mistry and professional dancer Flavia Cacace have the longest love story. Molly Rainford and Tyler West Everyone is talking about Rainford and West after they got engaged. They first met for the first time in 2022 when they were competing against each other on Strictly. It seems to be a big year for the couple as they are reported to have signed up to Celebrity Race Across the World together. Before getting engaged, they had settled into life together as they moved in with each other last year. Jimi Mistry and Flavia Cacace More than 15 years have flown by since Cacace and Mistry first fell in love after being partnered on Strictly in 2010. A lot has happened in the years that have followed Strictly, including Cacace leaving Strictly in 2012, the couple getting married in 2013 and then quitting the showbiz world for good in 2020. After the Covid pandemic, they moved to the country where they now have a seven-acre smallholding in Devon. They host holiday cottages and have a micro-bakery. "We haven't looked back once," Mistry told HELLO! in 2021 of their new adventure. "The ambience, the feeling, the energy that has been created here has made us feel so much calmer and better about life." "We feel calm and stress-free and our old life feels alien," Cacace added. "We did it for years, but it's amazing when you come out of it and realise you can finally breathe." Rachel Riley and Pasha Kovalev Rachel Riley and dancer Pasha Kovalev have gone the distance after they first met on the set of Strictly in 2013. Their romance blossomed out of the Strictly curse. Weeks after the former Countdown host was eliminated from the BBC show, she ended her 16-month marriage to her university sweetheart James Gilbert. Riley and Kovalev got together later and went public with their love story in 2014. They got married in secret in Las Vegas in 2019, the same year that Kovalev left Strictly. The couple raise their two daughters, Maven and Noa, together. Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez Strictly's Gorka Marquez and Gemma Atkinson weren't partnered together on Strictly in 2017 but that didn't stop sparks from flying. Atkinson was partnered on the show with Aljaž Škorjanec while Marquez was teaching Alexandra Burke how to dance. Away from the dancefloor, their love story flourished. The couple — who raise their children Mia and Thiago — got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2021 but they have since delayed their wedding. It has been reported their family reality series Gemma and Gorka: Life Behind The Lens has been axed. This year Marquez won't have a dance partner on Strictly because an of a scheduling clash with his job as a judge on the Spanish version of the show. Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell Strictly's 2024 winner Dianne Buswell and YouTuber Joe Sugg waltzed their way into love in the 2018 series. The pair had made the final of the BBC show but found they won something more important than the Glitter Ball — each other's affections. Sugg is Buswell's biggest supporter when she is dancing on Strictly. Away from the TV cameras, the couple live together in Brighton and they have plans to start a family one day. She told Prima magazine in 2025: "When Joe and I met, it wasn't until the show ended that we realised we missed each other's company a lot — our relationship went from there. "We've always wanted kids, it's just finding the right time. I don't feel worried about taking time out from dancing, I just don't see the point in worrying. When everything aligns, it will happen. I have a vision." Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton Kevin Clifton and Stacey Dooley also danced in the same series. Not only did Clifton and Dooley lift the Glitter Ball trophy but they found long-lasting love with each other. Their romance didn't blossom until after the show had wrapped. Documentary maker Dooley was dating personal trainer Sam Tucknott until three months after Strictly. In 2019, Clifton and Dooley went public with their romance. They became parents for the first time in 2023 when Dooley welcomed their daughter Minnie into the world. Max George and Maisie Smith Ex-Eastenders actor Maisie Smith and The Wanted star Max George were competing on Strictly in 2020 but they immediately hit it off. They didn't start dating until two years later in 2022. The lovebirds have a 13-year age gap but they have marked huge milestones as a couple including working and living together in Manchester. While they have no plans for marriage yet, Smith has been a huge support to George after he had a heart operation before Christmas in 2024.

How ‘Beatles ‘64' Remastered the Legendary Band's Live Performances for New Documentary
At this point, restoring famed Beatles performances is familiar territory for Giles Martin. The producer, son of legendary 'fifth Beatle' George Martin, has worked on Fab Four material for nearly 20 years since he first oversaw the music with his father on Love — the 2006 Beatles Cirque du Soleil show — subsequently producing everything from anniversary editions of albums to the so-called 'last Beatles song' with 2023's 'Now and Then.' More from The Hollywood Reporter How 'The Day of the Jackal' Team Brought a "Semi-Derelict" Border Building Back to Life: "This Was a Huge Undertaking" 'Awards Chatter' Pod: Seth Rogen on 'The Studio' and How It Was Shaped by 'Freaks and Geeks,' 'Superbad,' 'The Green Hornet' and the Sony Hack How Costumes From Shows Like 'Emily in Paris' and 'Sirens' Illustrate That Fashion, Like Friendships, Is Complementary and Competitive Now, Martin has secured his third Emmy nomination for sound mixing for his work on the documentary Beatles '64, and he's looking to earn a second victory following his 2022 win for The Beatles: Get Back. This latest nomination is both affirming and surprising, Martin tells THR, given that it's one of the most technically difficult archival Beatles projects he's taken on to date. 'The material we had, as far as audio quality goes, was so bad, and we had to do so much work to make it listenable,' he says. 'The fact that it's being recognized at all is a surprising and a massive honor.' The same machine-assisted-learning tech that powered Peter Jackson's Get Back and 'Now and Then' went into Beatles '64, with Martin pulling 60-year-old live recordings from the earlier days of Beatlemania and meticulously extracting individual stems of Ringo Starr's drums or John Lennon's vocals and enhancing them while looking to keep their authentic sound. 'What's fascinating is we couldn't have done this work, say, two years ago, [until] what we did with Jackson's team and Get Back,' Martin says. 'It's a bit like knowing there are amazing artifacts beneath the soil in Pompeii, and scanning them and seeing if you can bring them to the surface. That's the kind of work we're doing.' Martin likens the job to time travel, calling the process both fascinating and 'a bit eerie.' He recalls one moment pulling vocals on Lennon from their 1964 Washington, D.C., concert at the Washington Coliseum: 'I was thinking to myself, 'Well, this is slightly unnatural because these vocals I'm hearing could've only existed if you were right next to his mouth that day.' ' Martin emphasizes that the work 'has to be done for a reason,' given the responsibility that comes with restoring the archives. Overall, the goal is to have a subtle enough touch that no audience would notice he did much at all. 'If I'm playing you a mix I've done, the last thing I want you to think about is what my mix was like, that it sounds like me — that's how you know it wasn't done right,' he says. 'I want you to just think about how the song makes you feel.' This story first appeared in an August stand-alone issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
