The Booshle G engagement has given fans one more reason to celebrate in what has already been a busy few weeks for the singer.

Booshle G, whose real name is Buhle Gayika, is a South African singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for blending pop, folk and rock into his music.

Now he has surprised his partner with a cinematic outdoor proposal, and judging by the video, she never saw it coming.

He popped the question to his partner and best friend, Gabriela, on Monday, 2 November.

The couple shared the news on social media, alongside a video of the surprise proposal.

How the Booshle G engagement unfolded

The proposal took place in a picturesque setting, with a grassy valley, a pond and rolling hills in the background. Gabriela can be heard exclaiming again and again as the moment unfolds, clearly overwhelmed.

Family and friends had been in on the plan.

Once she said yes, the gathering moved to a garden for an impromptu celebration.

“I got engaged to my best friend. Thank you to all our friends and family who made this possible.

We owe it to you,” Booshle G wrote. He also thanked videographer Daniel Storm Smith for capturing the moment.

Booshle G engaged as a big month continues

The engagement news comes as the singer’s career continues to grow.

He recently announced his Love is Free tour, a 20-date run across South Africa, Europe and the UK in 2027.

His next single, Dirty Blazers, is due out on Friday, 20 November.

Cape Town fans will also get to see him live soon. Booshle G will share the stage with Freshlyground at the Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts on Sunday, 29 November, the second concert of the summer series.
