‘Our crown anniversary': Steffi and Clint Brink mark 9 years of enduring love
Actor Clint Brink and his wife Steffi have celebrated their 9th wedding anniversary milestone. The couple married in 2016 after a whirlwind 3-months of courtship that started in the DMs. Steffi thanked her husband for his forgiveness and relentless support in their marriage. In an age where celebrity marriages often make headlines for all the wrong reasons, actor Clint Brink and his reality TV star wife Steffi are proving that genuine love stories still exist – even when they begin on social media. The couple recently celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary, with Steffi taking to Instagram to share a heartfelt tribute that left followers believing in the power of enduring love. 'On our crown anniversary of 9 years... all I can say is thank you, Abba for grace abounding,' Steffi wrote. She described their lives as 'filled with joy, laughter, deep conversations, support, encouragement, bravery, compassion, forgiveness, patience, and a sense of belonging.' The Brink love story reads like a modern-day fairy tale. After Clint slid into Steffi's DMs on social media, the couple dated for just three months before getting engaged, followed by a one-month engagement period before tying the knot in 2016. 'She just made my life better in every way,' Clint previously shared. 'Everything we do is for each other's growth and with the other person in mind. If she wins, I win.' Steffi's anniversary tribute painted a picture of marriage as more than just romantic love. 'Together, we found a home. A safe haven. A sanctuary. A cleansing place which allows for growth and healing,' she reflected. Her post highlighted the mature understanding both partners bring to their relationship, acknowledging that love requires work, forgiveness, and intentional choice. 'Love is not just something we say; it is a transformative power rooted in essence that is true to nature. It is the connectivity between two different souls merged into one purpose,' Steffi wrote. 'Thank you for choosing to forgive me for 9 years, for your relentless support and dedication towards our union. I am stronger and better because of you,' she shared, revealing the vulnerability and accountability that strengthens their bond. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Steffi van Wyk-Brink (@steffionthebrink) The couple's love story reached a new chapter in April 2023 when they welcomed daughter Arielle Harmony Brink, after sharing their pregnancy news in September 2022. 'Gratitude fills our hearts for your love, support, thoughts and prayers,' Clint wrote when announcing their daughter's arrival, showing how their partnership extends to co-parenting. Just before welcoming Arielle, Clint had penned his tribute to Steffi: 'I am forever by your side. In whatever capacity. Always in all ways, my love.' What sets the Brinks apart is their commitment to individual growth within their marriage. Clint has spoken about how they push each other toward personal excellence. 'It is just amazing that, besides being my wife, she is my friend. Everything we do is for each other's growth and with the other person in mind,' he explained. 'I don't want her to succeed for me; I want her to succeed for herself.' 'When I'm not doing well, she is strong, and she propels us forward,' Clint added, describing the give-and-take that sustains long-term partnerships. In an entertainment industry where relationships often struggle under public pressure, the Brinks have created something rare – a partnership that thrives on mutual respect, spiritual connection, and genuine friendship.
