The couple have been engaged since May last year, and sharing the news on social media, Izaak wrote at the time: “For the rest of my life… I get to laugh with you, cry with you, grow with you, kiss you, hug you, love on you.
“I get to hold you every night knowing I’ll wake up every morning and see your beautiful face.
“Thank you for showing me your heart and soul and allowing me to protect them in this life. The purest light, my moon.”

Izaak Adu came out as trans in 2016 and has since been open on social media about his transition, in contrast to Sade who has always been strictly private about her personal life.
While recovering from bottom surgery last year, he shared: “This process is trying, tiring, painful, emotionally exhausting, physically exhausting, uncomfortable.
“I often ask myself: ‘Why the f**k do I have to endure this to be who I am?’ But at the end of the day this is the path that was laid out for me and I’ll walk it to the end.”
