Here is my forever man, the one my soul had long been waiting for.
“Here is my forever man, the one my soul had long been waiting for,” Nadine Nana wrote when Gafenge Fred proposed in July 2026. By 8 November the Rwandan actress had married him four times over: the ring, the formal request, the law and the church.
Who is Nadine Nana?
Iradukunda Nadine, known as Nadine Nana (Nadine Nanaa on Instagram), made her screen debut in The Pact in 2022 and is best known as Sandra in City Maid. In 2026 she produced her first film, Stain (Icyasha). Isimbi reported that the pair had been together for a long time before the proposal and that Fred lives outside Rwanda.
A Rwandan wedding in stages
Fred proposed on 15 July 2026. In late August his family paid the first formal visit to her family home, known as gufata irembo. Gusaba, the formal request, and gukwa, the bride price, followed at Jalia Hall & Garden. On 29 October they married at the civil registry.
The church wedding took place on 8 November 2026, followed by a reception at Jalia Garden. Each stage drew large audiences on Rwandan social media.
