Mamelodi Sundowns defender Thapelo Morena might be known for his prowess on the football pitch, but when he isn’t training or playing matches, he transforms into a dedicated husband and father.
His wife, Carol Morena, recently took to Instagram to share a heart-warming glimpse into their family life during a delightful getaway with their daughters.
In the video shared by Carol, Thapelo can be seen preparing a traditional braai at a picturesque lakeside venue, surrounded by his girls.
The scene captures the essence of family bonding, as they all engage in the simple joy of being together.
The family later enjoys a cosy night huddled around a campfire, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Under the touching caption “Family♥️,” Carol beautifully encapsulated the spirit of their outing.
In another video, the family is seen gearing up for an exhilarating day of quad biking, reinforcing the joy and playful interactions that characterise their relationship.
Carol summarised the moment with “The Morenas ♥️”, showcasing the unity and love that define their family.
The videos quickly gained traction on social media, trending on X and eliciting heartfelt responses from netizens.
Users praised Thapelo for being a present father and husband, with comments like @ReleGlo’s, “Thapelo Morena is the happiest man 🫶♥️."
Another user, @sobhuza101, said, “This is beautiful 🙏🏿 he will raise very confident and loving kids. This brother knows exactly what he wants in life.”
@Ntugu10 said: “He won in life, man.”
While @ZimInstit4Dem said: “Black excellence. Raising a family is the real deal.”
Such affirmations of their family life underscore the importance of nurturing connections in today's fast-paced world.
The couple's love story began back in their school days in Kroonstad, Free State, where they attended Dr Reginald Cingo High School.
What blossomed from a high school romance has developed into a lifelong partnership founded on love, respect, and shared aspirations.
After several years of dating, the couple discreetly tied the knot in July, solidifying their bond.
Back on the pitch, Mamelodi Sundowns prepare to return to action following the international break, and anticipation is building for the upcoming Betway Premiership games.
Sundowns will also clash with the Congolese side Saint Eloi Lupopo in the eagerly awaited CAF Champions League match this Saturday.
