Miss South Africa Mia Le Roux has announced her engagement to partner Luke Ten Oever.
The beauty queen is the second winner, after Natasha Joubert, to get engaged during her reign.
In previous years, winners have waited until their year in the spotlight is over to make significant life decisions like getting engaged, marrying, or even having a baby.
MIA LE ROUX GETS ENGAGED!
In an Instagram post, Mia Le Roux announced the happy news of her engagement.
The first differently abled Miss SA queen shared pictures of herself with her partner: ” I cannot wait to become your wife!”
“The immense love, patience, and sacrifice you have shown me this year has been nothing short of incredible. From the way you hold space for me with calm and steadiness in life’s tough moments to the way we lose ourselves in laughter over the silliest things. My heart will choose you over and over again”.
Mia le Roux added that the couple had been engaged for a while, and that they were now “ready to share our joy with the world”.
She added: “We said yes to forever!”
CAN MISS SA WINNERS GET ENGAGED OR MARRIED DURING REIGN?
Last year, Natasha Joubert – Mia Le Roux’s predecessor – became the first-ever Miss SA to become engaged during her year of reign.
According to the competition, the occasion was above board.
Spokesperson Janine Walker said: “Since the current Miss South Africa Organisation has owned the title, title holders have been able to date. And once rules were changed to allow married women and mothers to enter, they have been allowed to be engaged during their reign.”
Walker added that winners could also get married or even fall pregnant and have a baby.
