South African actress Simphiwe Ngema has warmed the hearts of many with a touching birthday tribute to her partner, model Tino Chinyani. The actress took to Instagram to celebrate Tino’s special day, sharing that they were enjoying the occasion with their children at Sun City Resort.
The couple, who share two boys, are deeply proud of the family they are building together. Their first son, Tiyani, is now five years old, while their second baby boy was born on 22 November 2024.
In her heartfelt post, Simphiwe poured out her love and appreciation for Tino, writing:
“Dear Wumpa. You are an amazing human being, a great father, son and brother but this post is not about that, it’s about who you are to me and how you make me feel.
You have amazing eyes… they are beautiful but what I love about them the most is how they look at me. Every time you look at me I feel loved. You inspire me to love harder.”
The actress praised Tino’s ambition, resilience, and faith, adding that his presence has changed her outlook on life.
“You are a big dreamer, you’ve inspired me to want more for myself and out of life, like you always say, God is not on a budget. Your resilience has taught me to always try again no matter what… You’ve taught me to shut out the noise and focus on us and building our family. Most importantly your love for God has taught me to have a better relationship with God.”
She ended her message with heartfelt words of gratitude: “I love you Tinotenda Ramba Chinyani. I don’t know how we got here (it must be God) but I’m loving every moment. Happy birthday. If you ever had any doubts, let me reassure you, you are doing great. Thank you for being you. Always and forever.”
Tino also took a moment to reflect on his journey and celebrate his birthday with gratitude.
“Another year of Grace & gratitude. All that I am is God’s design. I’m grateful for my family, friends that have become family & everyone that has been apart of the journey so far. As I look back I’m lost for words coz this truly is a season of answered prayers. Thank you Father for being my strength & peace, for guiding me & loving me abundantly. Cheers to the future, the best is yet to come.”
