Shanina Shaik is set to get married this weekend.
The 27-year-old model will reportedly tie the knot with her partner DJ Ruckus in the Bahamas on Saturday (28.04.18) in front of their friends and family following a three-year engagement, according to the New York Post’s Page Six column.
The couple got engaged in the same sun-soaked spot at Christmas in 2015 following nine months of dating but, although the the pair are relatively private when it comes to their relationship, Shanina couldn’t resist discussing the plans she had for her big day shortly after the musician – real name is Gregory Andrews – proposed.
She said at the time: "I think every girl pretty much dreams about what she would like for her wedding day, but I’m not very traditional . . . I actually want a small wedding; I don’t want a big, poufy dress. I want to be on a beach."
And, although they’ve been pre-occupied with their wedding, the brunette beauty doesn’t think it will be long before they start a family of their own because she’d ideally like a baby before she turns 30.
She said: "I’m at a place in my life where I’m transitioning. People are asking me when I’m having a family, which is so weird! I’ve come to that point in my life? Wow! I plan to do that soon. Before I’m 30. I’ll let Ruckus know."
Despite taking their relationship to the next life by becoming husband and wife, Shanina is still based in New York, but she is planning to relocate to Los Angeles permanently to be closer to her beau.
Shanina – who was born in Australia – said: "My fiancé is based in LA. I’m based in New York, but in the long-term, I see myself moving there. Now, we go back and forth. When I first started dating Ruckus, I never really had jobs there, but now jobs keeping coming up on the West Coast. I also have a great group of girlfriends there."
