Singer Thabsie stunned fans by revealing she has been married for nine years during a TikTok video showing off her ring. The “Ngiyaz’fela Ngawe” star, born Bathabise Biyela, made the surprise announcement after followers mistook her ring-flaunting clip as a new engagement.

In the video, captioned “Hubby put a ROCK on it 🥹💍”, Thabsie covered her eyes while displaying a diamond ring with the text: “POV: You’re crying but you’re really just trying to show off your ring.” Fans flooded the comments with congratulations, prompting her response: “Guys I’ve been married for 9 years😅😅😭 but thanks for the congratulations🥰” (TikTok reply).

She later corrected a follower who speculated about her marriage date, stating: “I got married in 2015 my love🥰” (TikTok comment).

The reveal came days after Thabsie celebrated her husband Thando Vokwana’s 40th birthday at an intimate gathering. Attendees included rapper Kwesta, actress Zenande Mfenyana, and presenter Moozlie (Instagram posts).

Thabsie posted a tribute to Vokwana on Instagram saying: “This is the day that the Lord has made. My husband is 40 today. Thank you God for your faithfulness. I love you @voks_85🤍♾️.”

Friends including Moozlie (“Best guy. Best wife! Love you guys so much🫶🏾✨”) and Zoe Modiga (“Many eternal blessings to you both❤️”) shared warm wishes (Instagram comments).

Fans expressed shock online, with many admitting they never knew about her decade-long marriage. The singer has traditionally kept her personal life private despite her public career.

The dual revelations about her marriage and Vokwana’s milestone birthday have highlighted Thabsie’s rarely seen private world.
