She married her second husband in 2017.
And on Saturday, Motsi Mabuse, 41, and Evgenij Voznyuk, 39, renewed their wedding vows in a stunning barefoot ceremony on a Maldives beach.

She was beaming with happiness next to her dapper boyfriend, who was dressed in a light gray tuxedo, complete with bow tie, white shirt and buttonhole.
On Instagram, Motsi uploaded a variety of love-struck snaps of their intimate ceremony, which showed rose petals strewn across the sand and a wedding cake festooned with butterflies.

Next to the photographs, the caption read in German: ‘Love is in the air! Motsi Mabuse married her husband Evgenij Voznyuk for the second time in the Maldives.
“This is how the two sealed their great love and we congratulate them from the bottom of our hearts.”
Motsi and Evgenij have a four-year-old daughter whose name has never been shared publicly.
Last March, Motsi revealed that her Ukrainian husband’s family had moved into their home in Germany after the Russian invasion.
Speaking on This Morning, the Strictly judge said that Evgenijs’ parents managed to leave their country safely for Germany, where he believes they will remain “forever”.
Motsi previously expressed his fears for his in-laws after his hometown of Kharkiv was bombed.
Last January, Motsi insisted that despite his busy schedule, he always makes sure that his family is his top priority.
In an interview with Germany’s BILD der Frau, he said: ‘Family always comes first! Everything else is organized around it.

Mabuse was born in Kraalhoek, now in South Africa, and her family moved to Pretoria when she was five years old.
Under the Apartheid system, blacks were not allowed into the town, which was a Boer stronghold, so his family had to live in nearby Mabopane. Here the streets didn’t even have names, so Mabuse lived in C Block and attended his kindergarten in X Block.
Here the family experienced different forms of racism, but she says her parents always encouraged her not to let it stop her from getting ahead in life.
In her book, ‘Chilli im Blut’ (Chilli in the Blood), Mabuse recalls how a white woman once verbally abused her mother simply for walking into a supermarket near Pretoria. But even here, young Motsi’s mother told her and her sister never to be intimidated by such behaviour.
‘Now don’t make such surprised faces. No matter what this white woman has said, she has no right to do it.
“Never let a white person convince you that you don’t have to be in a certain place just because you’re black.”
Congratulations! Next to the photographs, the caption read in German: “Love is in the air!”
While studying law at the University of Pretoria, Mabuse began dancing and participating in competitions, and in 1998 she was runner-up in the National Latin American Dance Olympics.
In 2003 she married Timo Kulczak, with whom she had danced at the British Open Championship in Blackpool.
By 2007, Motsi Mabuse’s name was famous in Germany due to her participation in the dance show Let’s Dance, where she became a panelist in 2010.
In 2013 Mabuse won the German Latin dance competition with the Ukrainian dancer Evgenij Voznyuk. A year later, Kulczak and Mabuse divorced and in 2015 Mabuse revealed that she was in a relationship with Voznyuk. The couple married in June 2017.
