Divine Nshuti Muheto, the last contestant to win Miss Rwanda crown before it came to a halt in 2022, didn't miss out on the news either as she took to her page to say 'congratulations' to Naomie and her fiance.

Another beauty queen who was overwhelmed by the lovebirds' engagement news was Miss Rwanda 2019 Meghan Nimwiza who commented on their post and typed," Congratulations to these two love birds".

Miss Rwanda 2018 Liliane Iradukunda and Miss Rwanda 2016 Jolly Mutesi were not also sent their wishes to the two lovers.

" Congratulations Naomie, wishing you two nothing but happiness," said

Among other well wishers who sent congratulatory messages include Naomie's sister Kathia Kamali who is said to have introduced her to Tesfay.

Kathia was head over heels for the engagement and reacted," Two hearts, one love, and a lifetime of happiness. Congratulations on your engagement." before Tesfay, in turn, thanked Kathia for linking them up.

"Thank you for the introduction. I owe you one," he replied to Kathia's Instagram story.
