‘To be loved so gently': Lorraine Moropa melts hearts with sweet tribute to fiancé Tyler ICU
The pair got engaged during a romantic trip to Zanzibar in January, marking the start of their journey to forever.
Their relationship became public last year during a Bali trip, surprising fans with photos that went viral.
Love is clearly in the air for South African actor Lorraine Moropa, who recently headed online to sing the praises of her fiancé, local musician Austin Khulani Baloyi - known best by his stage name Tyler ICU.
Taking to her Instagram, the 'Lithapo' star gushed over how consistent the Mnike hitmaker is when it comes to loving her and making her feel safe and guarded in the relationship.
She wrote, 'To be loved so gently, so slowly and so softly that you have no choice but to let your guard down, surrender, and be vulnerable is such an indescribable feeling I cannot believe I've felt since I've met Blue's Dad.'
The 28-year-old continued, 'You'd swear our paths just crossed, and I'm probably still infatuated because how can a person be so consistent? This is truly the kind of love that makes me believe in God if there were ever doubts in me.'
The couple left everyone pleasantly surprised after announcing their engagement earlier this year.
While on a romantic getaway to Zanzibar in January, Tyler decided to take the plunge and ask the TV bombshell to marry him. Sharing an update online, she wrote, 'The third of January was supposed to be Baba ka boy's birthday, but it also became the beginning of the rest of my life.'
She continued: 'I said YES to a Forever with my best friend. I couldn't be more grateful to God for this wonderful gift of love.'

Jordon Hudson takes subtle shot at NFL reporter after Bill Belichick crack
Jordon Hudson, the girlfriend of North Carolina Tar Heels coach Bill Belichick, appeared to throw some subtle shade at a Cleveland Browns beat reporter on Saturday. journalist Mary Kay Cabot cracked a joke about Belichick in apparent reference to Hudson while giving a speech after she received the Bill Nunn Memorial Award. The honor is given to a reporter from the Professional Football Writers of America for their "long and distinguished contribution to pro football through coverage." Cabot started to cover the Browns in 1991, when Belichick initially took over as head coach. She said in her speech that Belichick would call her and "yell" at her if she wrote something he didn't like. "Now I totally understand why Bill gave such a hard time," Cabot added, via "I was 28 at the time and he just couldn't relate to a woman that old." Hudson is 24 years old and the relationship she has with Belichick was a huge talking point in the spring after an interview with CBS. Hudson appeared to try to shut questioning about their relationship down, and it shed light on some of the inner workings of what's going on between the two. Hudson appeared to catch wind of the joke and reposted criticism that others had. "Not much of a 'laugh,'" the critical post read. "No wonder so many have contempt for the media, especially those who want to be the story rather than roprt (sic) on the story." The frenzy around Belichick and Hudson's relationship has simmered since its peak in the spring. Belchick is gearing up for his first season as the Tar Heels' head coach. North Carolina's season begins on Sept. 1 against TCU.

Hulu's new dating show, 'Are You My First?' takes 21 virgins on a love-finding journey
A new dating show from Hulu is featuring a bit of a different cast than most typically tend to highlight — virgins. The show, dubbed "Are You My First?," was created by the producers of "Love Island USA," showcasing 21 virgins on their quest for love. "In this groundbreaking new dating experiment, the largest, hottest group of virgins ever assembled search for intimacy, love – and maybe their first – in a tropical paradise designed just for them," Hulu's "About" page for the new show, hosted by Colton Underwood, a former "Bachelor" contestant who came out as gay, and Kaitlyn Bristowe, reads. "For the first time, they're free to explore their connections without judgment, allowing these sexy young singles to embark on a heated yet heartfelt journey packed with romantic dates, revealing challenges, and new love interests eager to find 'the one,'' Hulu says. "Who will find that special someone? And who will go home hot, bothered and heartbroken?" The reasons the 21 people on the show say they are waiting for marriage include that studies came before romance, values they hold as Christians, and that "the right one is worth the wait." For example, "Brooklyn," a 24-year-old dance teacher from Los Angeles, who is featured in a Thursday "Entertainment Weekly" article about the new show, says she is still looking "because... she believes the right one is worth the wait." "Godwin," 27, who hails from Edison, New Jersey, and works as a real estate developer, says he is still searching because "he enjoys the attention his virginity brings and is holding out for his queen." Jake, a 32-year-old from Los Angeles, says he has chosen not to have sex "because his Christian faith calls him to wait until marriage." A Thursday press release from Hulu says the group has "their hearts open and their V-cards intact." "These sexy young singles embark on a heated yet heartfelt journey, packed with romantic dates, revealing challenges, and new love interests eager to find 'the one,'" the press release reads. "Find out who's ready to go all the way when "Are You My First?" premieres Monday, Aug. 18, on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally."

Man strains girlfriend's mother's homemade soup to remove ginger: 'Where are your manners?'
A baffled boyfriend drew the ire of his girlfriend after he picked through her mother's soup in an insulting way – sparking a social media firestorm. Posting his story on a popular Reddit forum, the young man said the couple was visiting his girlfriend's mom's house when they were served seafood chowder. "[My girlfriend's mom] made it once before and it was really good, but she add[ed] a few pieces of ginger to flavor it," he wrote. "I really, really, really hate biting into ginger," he said. "I don't mind the flavor it imparts, I just hate the taste of actually eating a piece." The boyfriend said that he once bit into a piece of ginger in her past soups and it "almost ruined the whole meal." This time, the man said, he asked the mother if she used the root vegetable. She replied that she did and forgot to pick the pieces out. "She seemed genuinely apologetic about it," the man recalled. "I told her it was no problem and I had an idea." He continued, "I saw a colander hanging on a rack on the kitchen counter and I went to the kitchen and strained the soup into another bowl (which I asked if I could grab) and picked out the couple pieces of ginger." "The key to understanding the ginger dilemma is first understanding what the mother's intentions are in serving them [the] soup." He then "dumped the remaining strained pieces of potato and fish and shrimp and scallops and stuff back into the liquid." The man said, "I even [apologized] for the extra dishes and offered to help clean up afterward." The girlfriend's mom didn't seem to mind at the moment, but the Redditor's quick-thinking did not please his partner — who was quiet during the drive home. "She told me I didn't have to be such an a--hole and make a big show and dance about insulting her mom's food," he said. But the boyfriend tried to defend his actions, saying he liked the food "except for a couple of ingredients." "Still didn't smooth things over, though," he added. The Reddit community nearly unanimously branded the boyfriend as rude and tone-deaf. "This is … actually really embarrassing for you," one person wrote. "No, you don't grab a strainer and do that. Where are your manners?" "Picking them out of individual spoonfuls would have been much less dramatic," another added. "Stop being so picky or just don't eat those things from your bowl," a third person said. "No, you don't grab a strainer and do that. Where are your manners?" Carole Lieberman, M.D., a psychiatrist based in Beverly Hills, California, weighed in on the ginger dilemma. The relationship expert described the boyfriend's behavior to Fox News Digital as a "red flag." "Not just because it was rude, but because it signals a lack of awareness of other people's feelings, a need [for] control and self-centeredness," Lieberman said. "The key to understanding the ginger dilemma is first understanding what the mother's intentions are in serving them [the] soup." "What he did not only strained the soup, it strained their relationship." A home-cooked meal, she observed, is a symbol of nurturance and affection – in this case, a mother's love. "So, even though he reports that the mom didn't react like it was a big deal, when he hacked into and dismembered her soup, it was hurtful to her because it felt like he was rejecting her love," the psychiatrist said. The boyfriend would have been better served if he quietly placed the ginger pieces to the side instead of making a dramatic gesture, Lieberman said. "What he did not only strained the soup, it strained their relationship," she noted. But the silver lining, Lieberman said, is that the boyfriend's intentions were pure. "He didn't do these things to be rude," she concluded. Instead, "he rationalized that he was being thoughtful in taking care of the ginger dilemma himself, rather than asking the mother to fix it." Lieberman suggested that the girlfriend "should observe whether he is self-absorbed and controlling in other situations … before making any rash decisions about the relationship."
