Marc Buckner, the South African reality TV star known for his time on The Bachelor SA, has finally broken his silence on swirling rumours about his personal life.
For months, fans have speculated that the Cape Town model might be in a romantic relationship with a male friend after spotting numerous Instagram posts featuring the two together.
Friendship Under the Spotlight
Recently, Marc has been sharing glimpses of his life with German model Timo Hagen, a younger friend who shares his passions for fitness, fashion, and content creation.
This camaraderie sparked speculation that the pair might be more than friends.
Speaking candidly on the Wickedly Well Podcast, Marc addressed the rumours head-on, clarifying, “We’re just friends; we are not a gay couple. We have similar values.
I enjoy training, and we are both health-driven humans. We motivate each other.”
A Look Back at Past Relationships
Marc first captured the public’s attention in 2020 when he gave his “final rose” to blonde bombshell Marisia van Wyk on The Bachelor SA.
The couple had an on-and-off relationship that lasted another two years after the show ended.
In 2023, Marc was briefly linked to Namibian model Jo-Marie Harteveld, making their relationship Instagram official.
However, their romance ended after a few months, leaving fans curious about his dating life.
Fans Eager for Clarity
Despite Marc’s clarification, followers continue to watch his social media for any signs about his personal life.
Many wonder if public figures like him owe fans more transparency about their sexuality, but for now, Marc seems content keeping his friendships and motivations front and center.
