Unlike 'Love Island' or 'The Bachelor', 'Idols' isn't the reality show you go to in search of romance.

Since it's a singing competition, one would think it would be quite difficult making friends, never mind falling in love, given that everyone is fighting for the title of South Africa's newest favourite singer.
But surprise, surprise, there have been many couples that have met on the glowing 'Idols' stages and now there is a new musical power couple in town.

People are obviously curious as to how the couple made it work in the midst of a competition, which could have put a lot of strain on the relationship.
Brandon did mention that he was very aware of the fact that Zama was his strongest competitor, but they both agreed that they wouldn't let the competition come between them

They've even met each other's parents!
