Oscar and Lerato: A love story that began a few years ago

The pair have been together for several years. During an interview with Mac G and Sol Phenduka on Podcast and Chill, Oscar opened up about how their love story began.

He said he first spotted Lerato back in 2017 on Twitter, now known as X.

“I hunted her down… she was in a relationship at the time. That guy made her stop using Twitter,” he added.

Oscar said a few years later, Lerato responded to one of his Instagram stories with a fire emoji.

“When I checked her profile, I saw it was her, and we met several days later. We gelled on the first day,” he added.

The pair have been tight-knit ever since and do not shy away from flaunting their relationship on Instagram.
