It’s official! Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has confirmed his relationship with Sarah Langa after sharing a cosy photo of the two together on his Instagram Stories.

The Springbok fly-half made the relationship public in the most 2026 way possible: a 24-hour Instagram Story.

The image, posted from Bali, shows the couple on the beach, his arm wrapped around her waist, alongside the simple caption: “Happy Birthday.”

Langa celebrated her birthday on 26 February, just days after Feinberg-Mngomezulu turned 23 on 22 February, making it a double celebration for the pair.

While the post hasn’t been added to his permanent Instagram feed, the message was loud and clear.

After months of speculation, the rising rugby star has hard-launched his relationship.

For fans, especially those who still had high hopes that the fly-half was still single, this is confirmation: Sacha is officially off the market.

Rumours about the pair first gained momentum during the Springboks’ Autumn International clash against France in Paris.

After the final whistle, Feinberg-Mngomezulu was seen running off the field to embrace Langa in a celebratory moment that included a hug and a kiss.

The interaction, captured on video, quickly circulated online and sparked widespread speculation about their status.

Although neither posted photos together at the time, eagle-eyed followers noticed they were frequently in the same locations, most recently while holidaying in Bali, sharing separate snaps that strongly suggested they were travelling together.

The speculation intensified earlier this month during a Q&A session at a Garnier event, where the 23-year-old subtly confirmed his taken status.

“My missus is in the building,” he told the crowd, adding that he was officially “off the market.” Still, no direct social media confirmation followed until now.

Langa, 32, is a well-established luxury influencer and style figure with her own successful brand and loyal following.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu, meanwhile, is considered one of South Africa’s brightest rugby prospects, currently carving out his place in the national setup.

Their nine-year age gap has drawn commentary online, with much of the criticism directed at Langa.

Some social media users have questioned the difference in age and life stage, while others have unfairly labelled her “opportunistic”, despite her long-standing independent success.

Through it all, the couple has largely kept their relationship private, choosing not to engage publicly with the noise.

Until this week.

With one beachside photo and two simple words, Feinberg-Mngomezulu has made it clear: the rumours were true.
