Wedding bells are ringing. JLS hitmaker Oritsé Williams got engaged to girlfriend Kazz Kumar in 2021 and the two are looking forward to tying the knot soon. But while congratulating the couple, fans are also curious about Oritsé’s partner; specifically, her real name and age.
So, here we present Kazz Kumar’s biography to give you a better understanding of her world.
Meet Kazz Kumar, Partner at Oritsé Williams
Kazz Kumar first met Oritsé Williams through social media and the two hit it off immediately. According to Oritsé, the two shared something “genuine” without any interference or distractions. It’s no surprise that he didn’t pop the question until a year later in 2021.
The surprise proposal took place at the Miskin Manor Hotel in Cardiff for what Kazz believed was a Valentine’s-themed photoshoot with motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson. Recalling the moment, Oritsé shared, “I went all out. I hired a photographer, a videographer, and did a timesheet and a mood board. Harley-Davidson was also involved and provided the bike, jacket, and neck strap.”
For the engagement ring, Oritsé wanted to find a color similar to Kazz’s favorite crystal, rose quartz. So he sent a pink sapphire from Sri Lanka, which is also Kazz’s home country.
Following the engagement, Kazz went on to share with “Hello!” Magazine that she knew from their first date that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Oritsé, calling him “the sweetest, kindest soul in the world.”
