South African influencer and content creator Nadia Jaftha has officially confirmed she is off the market after saying “yes” to a romantic proposal from her partner, Reece Meyer. The dreamy announcement, shared on her Instagram feed on 1 December 2025, took fans by surprise and set social media alight.
A Picture-Perfect Moment
In a heartfelt post, Nadia shared a carousel of photos and a short video capturing the special moment. In the clip, she turns away from the scenery — only to discover Reece down on one knee behind her. The mixture of shock, tears, laughter and pure joy on her face spoke volumes. And when she held up the engagement ring, the genuine emotion was unmistakable.

Her caption — “Saying YES to my favourite chapter yet.” — resonated deeply with fans and followers, many of whom rushed to send love, congratulations, and heartfelt wishes.
Who Is the Man Behind the Ring?
While Nadia hasn’t always been forthcoming about her private life, the mystery man is now known: Reece Meyer. He’s not only her fiancé — he also works closely with her. Together, the pair are co-founders of Ace Labs and co-owners of The Smile Bar. Their shared entrepreneurial ventures meant they spent a lot of time together behind the scenes, making their new romantic milestone feel like a natural next step.
Reece has also been posting glimpses of their recent getaway in Bali on his own Instagram — a trip that now seems to have laid the perfect backdrop for a surprise proposal. Nadia, meanwhile, had been flooding her feed with holiday shots, leaving many curious about who was behind the camera. Now we know.
A New Chapter After a Public Life Reset
The engagement comes after Nadia’s previously public relationship with “Love Island SA” alum Xavier Haupt ended in 2024. That split was amicable, with Nadia at the time saying it was best they each embark on their individual journeys. For many, this proposal signals a fresh start — one she seems genuinely happy and ready for.
Beyond her personal life, Nadia continues to shine professionally: she’s not only a social-media personality and content creator, but an entrepreneur and creative agency leader. A few years ago, at age 30, she celebrated becoming a homeowner — a milestone that reflected her dedication and hustle.
