Former Strictly Come, Dancing contestant, Oti Mabuse retired from competitive dancing and began her I Am Here tour in 2022. Marius Iepure, Mabuse’s spouse, is very supportive. Mabuse and Iepure wed in 2014. Finding the ideal dancing partner was the start of their courtship.
Oti Mabuse’s Husband
Mabuse took competitive dancing seriously. She has won eight South African titles. In 2012, she followed her love to Germany. Her older sister, Motsi Mabuse, was previously a judge on the Let’s Dance German edition of Strictly. When Mabuse sought a dancing partner, Motsi suggested male pros. Mabuse met her future spouse Iepure here.
Mabuse and Iepure had earlier placed third in World Cup Freestyle Latin in 2014. They were second in the 2014 European Latin Championship and won in the German Latin Championship. Despite their differences, they fell in love throughout sessions. The Let’s Dance actress spoke out to The Guardian about her and Iepure’s disagreements.
Mabuse said
I like his calm demeanor. He makes everyone adore me. I’m bold and outspoken. A control freak, too.”
“He’s ambitious and rigorous with himself, but he’s a joy to be around,”
Weddings of Oti Mabuse
They got engaged in 2014. But it wasn’t until 2017 that Mabuse revealed her “Yes” moment. On August 31, 2017, she shared a sweet flashback photo on Instagram. “3 years ago today, this amazing CRAZY guy was aggravating the heck out of me because he was scared,” she wrote.
‘Strictly’ rehearsals (sounds fresh) let’s dance!!! They married in 2014, when Mabuse was just 23 years old, shortly after their engagement. They married in the countryside of Denmark, she disclosed in a 2019 Guardian interview.
“We selected a particular country — I had never been,” she remarked.
“A few years later, my parents wanted us to have a wedding at home, and we ended up having another in South Africa,” she said.
Pregnancy rumors about Oti Mabuse
Mabuse has become pregnant twice since the wedding. When Mabuse appeared on Your Face Or Mine? in 2019, presenter Jimmy Carr hinted that she could be pregnant. “I sensed something there,” he said afterward.
On The Jonathan Ross Show, Mabuse said she had to persuade her mother she wasn’t.
But the pregnancy rumors returned in early 2020.
“Psst… can you keep a secret?” wrote Iepure, Mabuse’s husband, on Instagram. “Bio link.”
Fans assumed he was referring to his wife’s pregnancy. “You’re pregnant,” one admirer said to Mabuse. Mabuse quickly denied it, saying “no, lol.” Mabuse has denied being pregnant many times, but her resignation from Strictly brought it up again.
Were you wondering whether she quit Strictly to raise a family? But in an interview with YOU Magazine, the pro dancer clarified.
“No. I still have goals. “I have a big list.” “And motherhood will come when it occurs, but not right now.”
It’s hard to believe that the dance superstar is already busy with a new musical and her 2022 tour.
