proud parents: FAF and Mine de Klerk
Faf and Mine de Klerk met in December 2015. The pair then tried a long-distance relationship when Faf moved to Manchester in 2017. Main worked at her father's pharmacy in Postmasburg, Northern Cape. However, the COVID-19 lockdown became too much for the two, after which they decided to become friends.
It's unclear when exactly the two decided to reconcile in 2021. Pfaff asked the big question in May 2022. The couple then married in October 2022 at La Paris Estate in Franschhoek.
