The magical evening unfolded on Saturday, November 15, 2025, during the live broadcast of the widely-followed reality competition show, "Secret Story," aired on Canal Magic and affiliate stations. France Mpundu, an emerging music sensation from Juno Kizigenza's Huha Records, recently created waves with her duet "Over," performed alongside Juno himself.
France found love on the "Secret Story" stage with co-contestant Moctar. Their romance blossomed gradually until Moctar shocked both the audience and cast alike when he dropped to one knee and proposed during a live broadcast, making it a defining moment of the season.
Moctar, a standout in the competition, has been praised for his strategic prowess, secret-revealing genius, and consistent triumphs in challenges. These elements have made him the fan favorite, securing his frontrunner status in "Secret Story."
A source who spoke to InyaRwanda said, “He was asking her if they could keep dating even after the show. Since they aren’t allowed to use phones or any other devices in there, you can never be completely sure what’s real or not. But for now, he has asked her to be in a long-term relationship with him.”
Now, only four contestants remain in the race for victory: Moctar leads with an impressive 61.7% of the votes, with competitors Gracy (23.5%), Felicia (12.6%), and Bonaventure (2.2%) trailing behind.
Fascinating anecdotes about Moctar paint him as calm and dignified, with lineage tracing back to the last king of Niger, which adds an extra layer of allure to his character.
The heartfelt proposal captivated viewers. Overcome by emotion, Moctar delivered his love-filled speech, which some hosts encouraged him to vocalize boldly to mark this touching moment.
“I’ve told you this many times, France,” Moctar began. “Since the day we met, I’ve felt an undeniable connection with you. Today, I want to enhance that love with this gesture. Despite one of the toughest weeks we’ve faced, we became stronger together."
The scene left fellow contestants and the live audience visibly moved. France, overwhelmed by the moment, beamed with happiness as she joyfully accepted the proposal with a definitive "Yes." Her delight sparked waves of adoration across fans following the broadcast.
Canal+ Afrique’s social media platforms celebrated the memorable event, labeling it as the "Wedding of the Year," while viewers shared heartfelt congratulatory messages online.
During the live taping of "Secret Story," Moctar’s heartfelt proposal to France Mpundu had fans in awe, especially as France immediately responded, “Yes.”
Moctar, on bended knee, gave France a dazzling ring in a proposal broadcasted live, captivating audiences and marking a turning point in their love story.
As the top contender in “Secret Story,” Moctar, who remains front and center, balances his competition goals with a blossoming relationship with France Mpundu.
