Actress and singer Shalate Sekhabi has shared exciting news about her love life. The talented star revealed that she got engaged in October 2025 to her long-term boyfriend and former co-star, Wanda Zuma.

Speaking to True Love, Shalate opened up about her romantic journey and what makes her relationship so special. The actress explained that their love story developed naturally because they had already spent a lot of time together before officially dating.

Shalate reflected on the moment she realised Wanda was the one for her. She said, “I think I felt that pretty soon into us making things official and dating.” For her, the connection felt right from early on, and there was a strong sense of certainty about their future together.

The actress also spoke about how she approaches relationships with intention. She believes that love has different stages, and she is not in a hurry to rush into the next one. Shalate shared, “I think everything is a season. You’re dating, then you’re engaged and then you’re married and marriage is forever. It’s a lifetime. So, we don’t need to rush to get to that part because we have the rest of our lives to do that. Right now I’m just enjoying us being engaged, just being in this love bubble.”

For Shalate, this season of engagement is about appreciating the present moment. She made it clear that she and Wanda are taking their time with wedding plans and are focused on enjoying their journey together.

Despite being public figures, the couple has chosen to keep their relationship mostly private. Shalate revealed that this decision has been intentional, allowing them to protect their love from public pressure.

She also praised Wanda for the way he shows his affection. “The one thing is that he always remembers what I say,” Shalate gushes. “He’s very intentional, he listens. I’ll mention something small like, ‘Oh, I was craving a sweet’, or whatever, and then he’ll come back with ice cream or something like that. I just love that, he’s always been that way and it hasn’t changed.”

It is clear that Shalate values thoughtfulness and consistency in her relationship. As the couple enjoys this special chapter, fans can only wish them happiness as they prepare for a lifetime together.
