Grooving Through the "Cursed Seventh": Motsi Mabuse's Marathon Matrimony Secrets Revealed

Motsi Mabuse unveils her secret strategies for navigating the supposedly challenging seventh year of wedlock - Motsi Mabuse shares insights on managing her "exasperating seventh year" of matrimony.

Some might shiver at the sight of the seventh year on a marriage certificate—the infamous "curse" referred to in the 1955 film with Marilyn Monroe, "The Seven Year Itch." But for Motsi Mabuse, it's all incôgnita. In a heart-to-heart with the "Bild" paper, the fan-favorite Judge of "Let's Dance" spilled the beans on keeping the romance burnin' bright with her ballet pro beau, Evgenij Voznyuk. They've been tying the knot since 2017.

What's the secret behind their dance-off dominance? Honesty, Motsi professed, is the key ingredient in this love potion. "Love changes over time, but you gotta roll with it, not against it. Communication? That's lifeblood," quipped the 44-year-old. With laughter as the cherry on top, the pair's infectious dalliance leaves audiences breathless on Friday nights during the current eighteenth season of "Let's Dance."

But behind the glitz and glamor, life ain't always a waltz 'round the ballroom: "I useda be a zombie, doin' my thing without true feelin'," Motsi acknowledged. Now, she beats the chest-plate of self-awareness daily: "What do I need?" her compass. Self-care, she says, is a must-have for every woman juggling a skyrocketing career and family life.

Behind the Dance, the Dance Duo

With "Let's Dance" reaching its climax on May 23, it's sayonara screens for Motsi as she enfolds her husband and six-year-old cherub in her loving embrace. Evgenij too, dons the 'tutu of a professional dancer—they both knew how to twirl and flip with passion.

Perhaps their shared background on the dancefloor keeps a balancé in their home: "Two leaps, one heart," you might say. They've almost danced through the "cursed seventh" year with their eighth wedding anniversary just around the corner.

Pro Tip for Love and Leaps: Navigating a long-term marriage requires communication, trust, support, and teamwork. Be flexible, adaptable, find time for each other, maintain intimate connections, respect each other's professional space, and learn how to constructively resolve conflicts. Most importantly, embrace change and keep a shared vision for your future.

I'm not going to be able to dance through the challenges of a marriage like Motsi Mabuse, who's balanced her skyrocketing career and family life with her dance partner Evgenij Voznyuk, for eight years now. Their relationship, much like the sway of a waltz, is a delicate dance of communication, self-care, and shared vision, as they've almost danced through the "cursed seventh" year with their eighth wedding anniversary just around the corner. In the world of entertainment, even celebrities like Marilyn Monroe grappled with their own relationship dynamics, as seen in the film "The Seven Year Itch."
