What started as a quiet evening out turned into one of the biggest moments of Nonku Williams' life. The former Real Housewives of Durban star announced her engagement to boyfriend Lungani Rammalledi on Sunday, 11 October 2026, leaving her followers and industry friends completely stunned.
Nonku shared the news on Instagram, revealing she had been completely caught off guard by the proposal. "I thought it was just dinner... until dessert came with a question and a ring 💍. I said YES to my forever 🩷🩷❤️," she wrote in her caption. A photo of the dessert plate, inscribed with the words "Will you marry me?", accompanied the post.
Nonku and Lungani's love story
The couple went public on Instagram in late 2025, and by October 2026, they were celebrating a full year together. Their relationship had not been without its critics. Lungani addressed the doubters directly on social media, writing: "By the way, this month we mark a full year together with my Queen 🫅 and some of you (haters, sangomas, prophets, future tellers, mabone) predicted the worst things about our relationship, but here we are still standing, just strong, just safe, just blessed, just happy, just protected and just cute. 😊❤️😊"
Earlier this year, in March 2026, Lungani had already made headlines when he gifted Nonku a BMW, a gesture that generated plenty of conversation online.
