South African actress Amanda du-Pont has once again captured the attention of her fans, this time by giving them a glimpse into her love life. The star caused a buzz on TikTok after soft-launching her new boyfriend in a romantic post that left Mzansi talking.
On Wednesday, 10 September 2025, Amanda took to her official TikTok account to celebrate her boyfriend’s birthday. She posted a picture of the two of them together, captioned: “Happy birthday my love
.” In the image, Amanda can be seen standing close to her new man, looking up at him lovingly as she leans slightly on his chest. The two appear in coordinated outfits – Amanda wearing a chic strapless black dress, while her mystery boyfriend sports a dark suit paired with a t-shirt. He has his arm around her waist as they hold hands, a gesture that fans couldn’t stop talking about.
Adding to the romance, the photo included another caption that read: “My definition of wealth is loving you.” While Amanda did not reveal her boyfriend’s face, fans immediately flooded the comments section with love and support. Many admired the couple’s chemistry and wished Amanda happiness in her new relationship.
One fan, Rea Walker, wrote: “I personally love it when God restores
.” Another, babyG, said: “He is tall, nails done and makes you smile like that – you won! 

.” Kgopotso Mooi also joined in with heartfelt words: “Amanda, my dear, this is him, the man you were crying for when you were born. Being loved and seen looks good on you. We love this for you, sis




.”
Not all comments were positive, though. One TikTok user, Sativandica, wrote: “liked ur hot white boyfriend better
.” Amanda did not hesitate to respond, clarifying the situation with a firm reply: “Ok well I wasn’t treated right
. And ex husband not boyfriend.”
Her comment was a direct reference to her former marriage with Shawn Rodriques. According to TshisaLIVE, Amanda and Shawn finalized their divorce on Friday, 20 January 2023, after three years of marriage. The couple had been engaged since July 2018 before tying the knot.
For Amanda, the new relationship appears to be a fresh start, and fans are here for it. While she has chosen to keep her boyfriend’s identity private, the soft-launch has already sparked excitement, with many cheering her on for finding love again.
