Nonhle Thema set to wed her 24 year old baby daddy, Arthur Bolton

The former Channel O VJ is getting ready to marry the father of her six months old daughter, Arthur Bolton, who at 24 is eight years her junior.

The beautiful South African and good looking Englishman got engaged in March, four months after welcoming a daughter, Star Phoenix Ivy Zima.

The couple who live together with their child in a posh area in Johannesburg, have been dating since 2010 and are planning to wed in the next few weeks.

OK, OK, let me say it. I can't get over the fact that he's 24. But he's so cute. #runsaway! :-)

      To your personal note, i was like u a few years ago, this is purely nigerian mentality, this is what our cultural mentality deposited in us and guess, its robbing us of our happiness....after relocating to north America, i discovered Love knows nothing about age. U marry a younger guy, they call u Cougar, an older guy, u are a gold digger. God didnt specify age requirements in marrying. I
      Im married, my hubby is 3 years older and treats me GOOD...but with what i know now, if i was still single, i will go with any christian guy that makes me happy.....open your mind, ur Adam might be younger but if he treats you like a queen, take him over d older chap dat thinks he is doing u a favour by marrying u...maturity has nada to do with age hence the phase : foolish old one!!!

      Oshey sister...I feel u and I agree with u totally..age is just a number.infact some younger ones knows how to treat their woman more than the older ones..i believe every woman knows what they all want in a man.mariah Carey will never ask for anything better..5 Years and still going strong.if I see a woman who has the same thing in common with me,I'll go ahead and marry and moreover am so scared of all this Yankee girls.they can like to become the husband.lol maybe I'll just come back home and marry sha but anyhow age shouldn't be a barrier in any relationship

      My fiance' is 5 yrs younger than me and we have been dating for a year and a few months. This is the best relationship i have had till today and he behaves more matured than my exes who were older than me. I thank God everyday for bringing him into my life. When picking a potential life partner, i would advice the ladies to focus on what matters and age is definitely not a deciding factor. Look at his character, how he treats you and whether he is hardworking, ambitious and generous. The rest is rubbish. Peace.

    Different strokes for different folks! Age is just a number, as long as they are happy together its ok. Age doesn't always have to do with maturity, neither does it have to do with the right man!

    Well we aint all the same right? But it calls for caution being that there has been more "bad-end" records for this kind of union in the past. However, the likes of Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore, Nick Cannon & Mariah Carey etc have made such arrangement seem a possible success ,so far.....I wish them all the best! i only plead for less broken homes(destroying the fabric of society), especially in cases that could have been SELFLESSLY prevented!

    Marriage is the nail in the coffin for them. Whilst dating a younger man(boy) is fine, guys of that age are still figuring out what to do with their lives and whilst he may be enjoying a good sex life with her right now, does not mean this would last. Today's men and women have way too much options to be settling down this early in life hence too many break-ups. Good luck to them as they would need it.
