Former Miss Universe, Zozibini Tunzi, recently offered fans a look into her life and marriage upon her return to a South African talent agency.
The beauty queen was asked what keeps her grounded as a village girl since her career is evolving and growing, and she shared that being connected to her Xhosa roots is what helps her.
'Grounding is a very easy thing for me. I think we mentioned the village, which is a huge part of who I am.
'It's just principles that I have been brought up with, and I have an incredible family who reminds me all the time where I come from and to always be grounded and humble in that sense,' Tunzi said.
She added that going home all the time in the Eastern Cape and being connected to her roots is an important aspect for her that keeps her grounded.
Tunzi tied the knot to her childhood best friend, Luthando Bolwana, in a lavish private ceremony in March.
She dazzled in an elegant off-the-shoulder gown, intricately adorned with 3D embroidery, a creation by Vietnamese fashion designer Phan Huy.
Tunzi revealed for the first time in public how life has been since she exchanged nuptials with Bolwana in Cape Town.
'Oh, it's been so wonderful. I mean, it's been five seconds of being a wife, but it has been absolutely amazing. And once again, it's another personal journey. And being able to do it with someone who has been my best friend for so many, many years.
'And now we're in this chapter of our lives that we get to share together, and we get to build. It's just been so beautiful, and I've been so happy to receive all the love, you know, from South Africa as well, who have always supported me with everything that I do,' the 31-year-old revealed excitedly.
Tunzi is very private about her personal matters on social media and stunned fans after sharing her wedding pictures on Instagram.

Brandy and Monica celebrate classic hit with new U.S. tour
R&B legends Brandy and Monica are set to reunite for a highly anticipated U.S. tour named The Boy Is Mine Tour . This tour marks over 27 years since their iconic duet first captured hearts worldwide. The tour will run from 16 October to 7 December, with stops in major cities including Chicago, Memphis, Los Angeles, and Houston. This event is especially exciting for South African fans who have long celebrated the timeless appeal of their music. Brandy shared her excitement about the tour, calling it 'a full-circle moment.' She said, 'Monica and I coming together again isn't just about the music, according to Melodic Mag. It's about honouring where we came from and how far we've both come.' Monica echoed this sentiment, adding, 'The love that 'The Boy Is Mine' continues to receive means everything to me. This tour is a celebration of our history, our impact, and the fans who have grown with us.' The tour will feature support from GRAMMY award-winning artists Kelly Rowland and Muni Long, alongside rising American Idol star Jamal Roberts. This impressive lineup promises an unforgettable experience, blending classic hits with fresh sounds. To promote the tour, Brandy and Monica released a creative mini-movie. In it, the two artists break free from separate rooms in an asylum through the power of their collaborative track. This symbolised the strength and unity their music represents. Since its release in 1998, The Boy Is Mine has been a cultural phenomenon. The song dominated the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 13 consecutive weeks and remains a beloved anthem across generations. Its influence extends beyond music; the duo recently appeared in Ariana Grande's homage music video and featured in a remix of the track last year. This tour is a rare chance to connect with a piece of R&B history. The enduring popularity of The Boy Is Mine resonates globally. The song even continues to receive airplay and inspire local artists. Tickets for the tour are expected to be in high demand. While prices vary, converting typical U.S. ticket costs of around $75 to South African Rand places them near R1,500. This makes this a valuable opportunity for fans to witness two powerhouse performers live. Brandy and Monica's reunion is more than a nostalgic trip; it's a celebration of their lasting impact on music and culture. As Brandy said, 'This tour honours our journey and the fans who have supported us every step of the way.'

Lee Byung-hun reveals the darkness of ‘Squid Game's' front man
Lee Byung-hun, the acclaimed Korean actor, has opened up about his complex role as the Front Man in the global hit series Squid Game . Lee's character has evolved from a distant overseer to a deeply troubled man grappling with loss, cynicism, and a faint hope for humanity. Since the show's first season, the Front Man has been a mysterious figure. But in the recent finale, he steps into the spotlight, revealing layers of sorrow and conflict. Lee Byung-hun explains that the Front Man was once a police detective with a normal life. Tragedy struck when he lost his wife and child, plunging him into despair and pushing him into the brutal world of the Games. 'He became extremely pessimistic and cynical, believing there is no hope left for humanity,' Lee says, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The actor shares how the Front Man's interactions with Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), the show's protagonist, highlight this inner turmoil. In a key scene, the Front Man hands Gi-hun a knife, watching intently as Gi-hun contemplates killing other players. Lee reveals the character's conflicting emotions: 'Part of him wanted Gi-hun to kill everyone, proving his belief that people are selfish. But deep down, he was rooting for Gi-hun to hold onto hope.' Lee Byung-hun's performance captures this tension with subtlety. He draws on his own life experiences. 'Every emotion I've felt becomes an asset. I've faced moments where I questioned humanity's kindness, and that influenced how I played the Front Man.' The finale also features a poignant moment where the Front Man meets Gi-hun's daughter. Lee interprets this as a sign of the character's restored humanity. 'He's offering what Gi-hun left behind with a sliver of goodness,' Lee explains. Yet, he admits the scene leaves room for interpretation, sparking questions about the Games' future. One of the most intriguing scenes shows the Front Man spotting a recruiter, played by Cate Blanchett, on the streets of Los Angeles. Lee Byung-hun says the character is shocked, realising the Games continue elsewhere. 'He feels bitterness, knowing this cycle never ends,' Lee notes. Fans speculate about a U.S.-based spin-off. Lee imagines the Games adapting to local culture but keeping the core theme of humanity's loss. 'The essence remains the same — players face impossible choices and hardship,' he says. Lee Byung-hun is also open to a Front Man prequel or spin-off. 'Director Hwang and I have joked about it. The Front Man's backstory is still vague, and I'd love to explore it,' he reveals. In Lee's words, 'The show urges us to wake up and look at what we're doing to each other. That connection brings hope.' Squid Game remains a global phenomenon, and Lee Byung-hun's Front Man continues to captivate audiences with his haunting complexity and unexpected humanity.
