WATCH: JoJo and Calven Robinson's Love Journey
Forget the haters—JoJo Robinson and her 'Boo Bear' Calven just rewrote the fairy tale. When JoJo Robinson first said 'I do' to millionaire businessman and former SA kickboxing champ Calven Robinson in 2014, it was a love story worthy of a TV screen. It was, quite literally, broadcast on SABC's Top Billing. A decade later, the couple proved that their love has only grown stronger, renewing their vows in a castle fit for royalty, under a rainbow no less. The Real Housewives of Durban star, known for her unfiltered humour and bold fashion, kept things lighthearted at the ceremony. With her signature wit, JoJo joked about the doubters who called her a gold digger and claimed the marriage wouldn't last. 'Well, here we are 10 years later,' she quipped, raising a toast to her forever love, affectionately known as 'Boo Bear.' JoJo and Calven's love story began the modern way, through social media. After meeting online in 2012, Calven popped the question just seven months later, prompting JoJo to leave Gauteng behind and start a new life with him in KwaZulu-Natal. Their original wedding in the Midlands was dripping in opulence, and this vow renewal was no different. 'I wanted a princess reception,' JoJo shared online, 'and that's exactly what I got.' The couple pulled out all the stops with a dream team of vendors. Guests were spoiled with elegant catering by @bleuberricatering, edible art from @sugardinc, and flawless event planning by @partyprincess__, who's been behind every JoJo event- even those on RHOD. And then there was the dress. JoJo stunned in a custom lace gown by @ while Calven kept things suave in a tan and white suit that showed off his athletic build. The couple looked as smitten and stunning as they did on their wedding day ten years ago. ALSO READ: Ayanda Thabethe gets her MBA The celebration wasn't just about glitz and glam.

Prominent businessman forfeits R3 million joint estate in bitter divorce battle
A seasoned property investor and businessman has chosen to forfeit his R3 million share of the joint estate and walk away from his 24-year marriage to his estranged wife and business partner. The couple, who cannot be named to protect the identity of their two children, have agreed on a settlement agreement that became an order of the Johannesburg High Court on 24 March, ending a two-year bitter divorce process. The prominent couple tied the knot in 2001 through a glamorous ceremony in Cape Town, which appeared on SABC3's lifestyle show Top Billing. According to the settlement agreement, the wife will keep their mansion in Sunninghill, north of Johannesburg, and two cars, while the husband is expected to pay R5 000 for each of their two children. The settlement agreement read: The marriage between them has irretrievably broken down and has reached such a stage of disintegration that there is no reasonable prospect of the restoration of a normal marriage relationship. The document also reveals that one of the reasons for their divorce is that they have lost all love and respect for each other. 'They are incompatible and are not able to agree with one another on various aspects pertaining to the marriage,' read the settlement agreement. The couple initiated divorce proceedings in 2011 but have been unable to reach and finalise an agreement on how to divide their joint estate. City Press contacted the couple, but they declined to comment on the matter, citing privacy concerns for themselves and their minor children.
