Lee-Ann Liebenberg swaps Cape Town for dazzling Dubai

Posted on August 31, 2025

Lee-Ann Liebenberg and her family have swapped their chilled life in Cape Town for a new chapter in Dubai, where her husband Nicky van der Walt has opened his latest Tang restaurant.

The brunette bombshell – who has three children – was a Miss South Africa finalist more than twenty years ago.

LEE-ANN LIEBENBERG AND FAMILY SWAP CAPE TOWN FOR DUBAI

In recent months, Lee-Ann Lieberg and her family relocated to Dubai, which is known for its modern, luxury lifestyle. 

Last December, her husband Nicky van der Walt officially opened Tang Dubai, the latest in his group of upmarket Asian restaurants.

The family also split their time between Cape Town and Johannesburg, where Nicky owns Tang V&A Waterfront and Tang Sandton.

Lee-Ann Liebenberg has posted pictures of her life in the glamorous city, which include visiting five-star hotels and fine-dining venues.

“A dream come true”, the 42-year-old model said of her new chapter.

DEBT DRAMA

Last week, Lee-Ann Liebenberg’s husband, Nicky van der Walt, vowed to pay back R3,3 million in debt following a dispute with a business partner over another hospitality project.

Nicky pledged to make the substantial payment by the end of September, failing which he could face sequestration.

This follows a ruling by a Cape Town High Court judge,  after property and construction company Walter Henning filed an application over their dispute of a co-suretyship agreement to secure funding for a Ritz construction project, where the former is the majority shareholder.

LEE-ANN LIEBENBERG: FROM MISS SA TO SOCIAL CIRCLES

Since her stint at the Miss SA pageant, Lee-Ann Liebenberg has had an illustrious career as a swimwear and lingerie model. She also bagged FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World title in 2005

Lee-Ann married restaurateur and businessman Nicky van der Walt in 2011. She is also the mother of three beautiful children, daughters Gabrielle, Gia, and Jagger.

Before her romance with Nicky, Lee-Ann Liebenberg dated R&B singer Danny K.

Lee-Ann Lieberg swapped pageantry for modelling and a luxury lifestyle.
