Tyson and Alri hit it off during the fourteenth season of Boer Soek ’n Vrou. Although Tyson was adamant about the programme only being a platform to help him find a friendship that might turn into something more, they ended up attending the reunion as a couple. Since then, they have been dating exclusively, making the most of every moment they could spend together.
