The Queen actor Vuyo Ngcukana and his bae Renate Stuurman are definitely  #couplegoals.

Vuyo, who celebrated his birthday on Wednesday, was overjoyed by all the messages from loved ones and fans on social media. 

While he was flooded with beautiful messages, Vuyo revealed how it was a shoutout from Renate that melted his heart. 

"To love someone means to see them as God intended, happy birthday Vuyo," the actress said. 

These two have always been there for each other, especially on their special days. In August last year, Renate showed her love and appreciation for Vuyo after he surprised her on set with flowers.

Taking to Twitter, Renate posted a photo of herself holding a bouquet of pink and white roses next to The Queen actor.

“Thank you so much, love,” she wrote, while Vuyo showed off more of his romantic side with words of affirmation for his beau. “Have a kick-*ss day superstar, break a leg,” he wrote.

The couple are known for their cute moments and enviable dates.

They show their love for each other at every turn, and earlier last year were seen cosying up over dessert.

The couple were celebrating “good things” and “answered prayers”, over a candlelit dinner.

“Today my heart is bursting at the seams, with so many good things happening at once, answered prayers all around and a surprise dinner to celebrate. Thank you.”

The couple have been dating since 2018. News of their relationship was announced on Twitter through a series of intimate pics.

“This pretty lady Renate got jokes, and I’m here for the laughs,” said Vuyo at the time.
