Kaizer Chiefs defender Bradley Cross recently shared the exciting news of his engagement in Greece with the Khosi Nation. The left-back, who has had a remarkable 2024-25 season both on and off the pitch, popped the question to his girlfriend Dominique Pretorius during their romantic getaway in Mykonos.
The couple, who have been together for over five years, chose the stunning Mediterranean island of Mykonos as the backdrop for their special moment. In a heartwarming Instagram post, Pretorius showed off her beautiful diamond ring, announcing their engagement to their fans and followers.
Cross, also known as “Mazibuko” and “uMlungu” in the Chiefs’ change room, received an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans and teammates on social media. The couple’s engagement was a moment of celebration for both of them and their supporters.
On the professional front, Cross has been making waves since joining Kaizer Chiefs in September. His versatility as a left-back and centre-back has made him a fan favorite, and his consistent performances have not gone unnoticed. His R3-million transfer to the Soweto giants from Golden Arrows highlighted Chiefs’ commitment to strengthening their defense, and Cross has proven to be a valuable asset to the team.
While the 2024-25 season was a mix of highs and lows for Kaizer Chiefs, with a Nedbank Cup victory but a ninth-place finish in the Betway Premiership, Cross’s contributions were crucial in key matches. As the team undergoes a squad overhaul with the departure of some players, Cross remains a cornerstone in coach Nasreddine Nabi’s plans for the upcoming season.
The Amakhosi are gearing up for their pre-season training camp at the Kaizer Chiefs Village, followed by a trip to the Netherlands from 3 to 19 July to prepare for the 2025/26 Premier Soccer League campaign. With Cross’s engagement adding a touch of joy to his already successful season, fans are eager to see what the future holds for the talented defender both on and off the field.
