Sade Giliberti, a beloved South African TV personality known for her time on YoTV in the early 2000s, has officially tied the knot with her long-term partner, Coco Chan.
The couple celebrated their love in a stunning and intimate ceremony in Portugal, which Giliberti described as “magical.”
The wedding, held yesterday, was a small gathering with fewer than 50 close friends and family in attendance. Giliberti shared moments from the special day on social media, where fans responded with an outpouring of love and requests for more photos.
The couple opted for a personal celebration, focusing on meaningful moments with their loved ones. Giliberti, who now lives in Europe, expressed her happiness in an emotional Instagram post: “I still can’t believe how magical our little day turned out! We put all our love into the details and cherished every moment with everyone. We even wore matching blazers, just because!”
She also thanked her guests who traveled from far and wide to be part of the celebration: “Thank you to each and every person for making it out here and for making our micro-celebration so wonderful. The villa was overflowing with love, joy, and togetherness. Honestly, a 12/10! Can we do it all over again?”

The day was filled with love and laughter, creating unforgettable memories for the couple and their guests.
Adding a nostalgic touch to the ceremony was YoTV alum Hulisani Ravele, who officiated the wedding. Ravele, a former colleague of Giliberti, congratulated the couple online, underscoring the strong connections Giliberti maintains from her early days in television.
Since her YoTV days, Giliberti has evolved into a successful TV presenter and prominent LGBTQ+ advocate. Her openness about her sexuality and self-acceptance journey has made her a powerful role model.
In a 2018 interview with MambaOnline, she discussed her experiences coming out and living authentically: “I’ve always been proud of who I am. I didn’t feel the need to hide it, and I’ve been lucky to have family and friends who supported me. I know that’s not the case for everyone, which is why it’s important for people like us to be visible and give others the courage to live their truth.”
Giliberti and Coco, who announced their engagement in 2023, have long been admired by their fans. Their wedding, filled with love and authenticity, reflected their deep commitment to each other and their desire to share their joy with those closest to them.
Giliberti’s wedding follows a trend of YoTV stars recently getting married, including Karabo Ntshweng, Sipho Sidwell Ngwenya, and Dr. Musa Mthombeni. This trend highlights not only the lasting popularity of the show but also the personal and professional successes of its former presenters.
Giliberti’s wedding is a celebration of love, growth, and the enduring bonds of friendship and family.
