As their relationship became public in early 2022, Booysen faced criticism and accusations, with some calling her a “gold digger.” She addressed these comments calmly, explaining that such assumptions come with being in a high-profile relationship. Booysen emphasized that the negativity does not bother her, as those making judgments do not know her personally. Despite the challenges, their bond grew stronger, and their shared values and understanding of each other paved the way for their engagement.
The wedding is set to be a private and intimate event on an island, reflecting their preference for meaningful moments over extravagance. The couple drew inspiration for their wedding from a vacation to Richard Branson’s Necker Island. They have expressed excitement about celebrating this milestone in the presence of only close family and friends, ensuring a personal and memorable experience.
