Former Proteas cricket player Herschelle Gibbs is set to tie the knot again after announcing his engagement over the weekend.
Gibbs. who introduced his bombshell brunette girlfriend last year, decided to put a ring on it at an intimate outdoor venue overlooking the ocean at an elegant sunset.
The proposal was a private set up decked in dozens of long-stemmed roses, rose petals and candles with light up letter stands which read: “ Marry Me” .
The 49-year-old announced his engagement to Dana Németh after a string of failed relationships, marriage and baby mama drama.
Németh shared the video of the proposal on Instagram and captioned the post: “We’re engaged!! 💍🥂 @herschellegibbs ❤️❤️❤️ you’ve made me the happiest girl in the world 🥹”
Friends of the couple rushed to congratulate them.

Gibb’s son Rashard Gibbs also congratulated his dad in a special Father’s Day post.
Rashard is Herschell’s child with his ex Liesl Fuller, born in 1996.
The proud son wrote:“ Happy Father’s Day Dad 🤍Appreciate you, appreciate your time and appreciate your love 🥂❤️ Congratulations on your engagement as well… May you have a happily ever after🥂”
Gibbs has been labelled the “bad boy” of sport because of his match-fixing scandals alongside his private life drama.
In 2019, Gibbs was served with an interim maintenance order to pay R4 500 maintenance on June 1, 2019, and thereafter the same amount at the end of every month, after his baby mama who cannot be named, took him to court.
The woman had an eight-month-old son at the time and the paternity tests proved Gibbs was the father.
