Among the standout moments shared was a photo of the couple locked in a passionate embrace - an image that quickly caught the attention of followers.

Their itinerary blended classic Parisian charm with cultural exploration.

The couple visited the iconic Louvre Museum, one of the world’s most famous art institutions, where they admired historic masterpieces and soaked up the artistic atmosphere.

Beyond sightseeing, Duminy also shared glimpses of their culinary experiences, highlighting indulgent meals at local restaurants. 

From elegant dining settings to beautifully plated dishes, the posts showcased the richness of French cuisine and the couple’s enjoyment of it.

From Paris to the French Alps

The romantic getaway didn’t end in the capital. Duminy and Roberto extended their European adventure with a snowy escape to the Alpe d’Huez, a renowned ski destination in the French Alps.

Here, the couple embraced a different kind of excitement - swapping city strolls for snowy slopes.

Duminy shared images from Marcel’s Farm, a fun-themed green ski run and snow park, where the pair appeared relaxed and playful as they enjoyed the winter landscape.

As expected, Duminy's post drew a wave of positive reactions from fans and followers.

Many took to the comments section to celebrate her happiness and new relationship.

Others praised the aesthetic and emotion captured in the images, with @lana_livin writing: “Sue, my darling 😍 these pics are everything!!”

Moving on after divorce

Duminy's new romance comes months after her separation from former Proteas cricketer JP Duminy.

The couple, who were married in 2011, announced their split on February 17, 2025.

In a joint statement, they described the decision as “amicable” and said it came “after much consideration”.

The announcement followed a period of speculation, as fans noticed a decline in shared social media content featuring the pair.

Just months after the separation, Duminy began hinting at a new relationship.

By September, she had gone public with her feelings, sharing a heartfelt post dedicated to Roberto.

In it, she spoke candidly about love, emotional safety and personal growth - offering insight into what this new relationship means to her.

“When a man embodies true masculinity, it inspires a woman to step out of her masculine energy and into her natural feminine flow,” she wrote.

She continued: “When a man leads with clarity, consistency and creates emotional safety for his woman, she can finally return to her soft, feminine and playful side.”
