Marise reportedly hails from a farm near Bloemendal in the Eastern Cape. Taking to Instagram, she revealed that she is so happy to be home.
She shared photos of the sentimental things that made her happy such as her mom’s soup and more. Baby Hunter is also seen in the photos along with Handre. Take a look…
“Rain falling on the farmhouse’s tin roof. Coffee in front of our big creaking windows. My mother’s mutton neck soup in front of the fireplace. My heart is full,” the caption read when translated to English.
