France Mpundu, a celebrated Rwandan musician known for hits like "Nzagutegereza," has received a luxury car worth 38 million Rwandan francs as a gift from his partner, Moctar. The car, a BYD Tai 3 model set to be released in 2025, was presented to Mpundu, who expressed his gratitude and joy on social media. Mpundu shared his excitement, thanking God and expressing his happiness about the life he is building with Moctar.

The romance between France Mpundu and Moctar gained attention after they met on the reality TV show "The Secret Story" in South Africa. The show brought them together in a unique way, as their relationship began to develop during their time on the program. Moctar emerged as the winner of the show, but their love continued to grow beyond the television screens. During their time on the show, Moctar proposed to Mpundu, marking a significant moment that caught the attention of the show's followers.

After the show ended in late 2025, Moctar visited Rwanda to see Mpundu, marking a new chapter in their relationship as they transitioned from a reality TV romance to real life. This visit was significant as Moctar met Mpundu's family, showcasing that their relationship was more than just a TV spectacle. They were planning a future together. As their love continued to grow, Moctar proposed to Mpundu again, this time in Zanzibar, Tanzania, in April 2026, during a celebration on the beach.

The couple's relationship was featured on their reality show "Vie VIP," which aired on Canal+ Magic, detailing their life as a couple. This proposal was another step in their journey together, leading up to their decision to start a family. On July 25, 2026, France Mpundu and Moctar got married in an intimate ceremony. The couple chose not to publicize the event widely, as the details were to be shared on their TV show.

After their marriage, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, in July 2026. Becoming parents was a significant milestone for the couple, as their love, which began on a reality TV show, had evolved into a family of three. Following the birth of their child, Mpundu took a break from his music career, which he had been pursuing with Huha Records, to focus on his new family. This break came as Mpundu entered a new phase of life, balancing his music career with parenthood.

Moctar's gift of the luxury car to Mpundu was a display of his love and appreciation. Mpundu was overjoyed and quickly shared his happiness on social media, expressing gratitude for the gift and the life he is building with Moctar. From their meeting on "The Secret Story" in South Africa to the first proposal, Moctar's visit to Rwanda, the second proposal in Zanzibar, their marriage, and now the birth of their child, Mpundu and Moctar's love story has continued to evolve.

Currently, the couple is navigating their new life as parents, with Mpundu expected to return to his music career after taking a break to care for their family. Moctar's gesture with the car gift is a testament to their growing love and commitment to each other. As they embrace this new chapter, their relationship continues to be a subject of interest, showcasing a love that has grown from a reality TV show to real-life partnership and parenthood.
