Anel Alexander Instagram - James Alexander, 8 Jan 1978 - 28 April 2023 To say my heart is broken would not do justice to the 22 years we spent together. This year I’ve crossed a rubicon: I’ve spent more of my life with you, than without. I can not imagine having to do life without you by my side. You were my first love, my best friend, my work-buddy, travel-buddy, there’s-something-in-your-teeth-buddy. The first person to break my heart and then mend it again. The only person to witness me, all of me: the good, the bad, the pajamas….You were magic, a unicorn, and everybody knew it. You loved people and they loved you. And oh, how you made us laugh! You haven’t just fought a good fight, my baby, you fought the best fight. I have never witnessed anybody endure the amount of physical pain and losses and disappointments you have had to over the last 5 years and do it with such grace and integrity, whilst all the time fiercely believing and surrendering to God’s plan. You finished the race well, the suffering is over. Now Rest In Peace, my Jamie. Cancer might have won the battle for your body, but your soul was never beaten. I will always love you xxx (James was diagnosed with head an neck cancer in Jan 2019. It was his wish to keep his fight private until he was ready to share it. He was unfortunately not granted that opportunity, but his legacy will live on, as one does not go through the fire unchanged.)

Anel Alexander Instagram - Our 20th Anniversary, 19 April 2023. We got you a day pass from the hospital. It would be the last time you came home... 9 days later you were gone. I put on a dress you bought for me in London in 2014. It came in a box like in the movies. You always bought me the best clothes. I never wore this dress, because I was saving it for a special occasion, a red carpet event. In 2018 we were invited to the premiere of a movie you shot with Keanu Reeves in New York. The perfect occasion to wear my dress. But I didn’t go, cos we didn’t have the money to fly me out and of course there would be plenty more opportunities in the future. A few months later the first diagnosis came, and the dress stayed in the box. On 13 May 2023 I did get to wear it for a very special occasion, your Memorial. But knowing that you wouldn’t ever get to see me in it, I put it on for our last anniversary and walked through the hospital in my Kate Spade dress to bring you home one last time… I guess the lesson is: Don’t wait for one-day-when. Wear the dress.
Anel Alexander Instagram - This is a thank you within a thank you: I was on the cover of a glossy magazine whilst my husband was dying. A very surreal (and I imagine unique?) experience. I am truly grateful for the respectful way the South African media has been handling James’ death. But particularly grateful to the team at Rooi Rose for honouring James (and my) wish to keep his health struggles out of the public sphere during that specific time. There was something poetic about the fact that my cover left the shelves on 27 April, and James passed away the very next day. Thank you to the editor, @anliejansevr and her team, for choosing not to sensationalize our private battle.   And then, for my 2nd thank you, go visit @rooirose online for more pretty pics.   To the village that helped make James and my 20th Anniversary/Living Funeral possible, thank you for one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful and memorable days of my life. James felt the same. What a celebration it was!   Event organized & staged by: Salt and Pepper Creative @saltnpepper_creative @pulanels @nelisvosloo Photos: @elsabeputter from @mightyfineweddings Anel dressed by: Zoët @zoet_thebrand Hair maintenance: Stijl Salon @stijl_salon Anel’s make-up and hairstyling: Francois de Klerk, @fafa_make_up Venue: Hendrik and Ria Verloren van Themaat's Druiweplaas Picnic area in Zwavelpoort, Pretoria - FB: Hendrik Druiweplaas   Special thanks to: @sungardens_hospice for making sure the ‘groom’ could be present. @riananelofficial for our beautiful personal song, what a gift you have. Thank you for sharing it with us. @leandiedurandt for waving her magic wand and making sure I looked pretty on the day. Every friend and family member that sent a video, gave donations, brought a piece of cheese, or helped set-up and clean-up afterwards. I will always be grateful X   Oh, and last random fact: Today, 22 years ago James asked me to be his girlfriend. At 21, it was the first time in my life a boy had ever asked me that…
Anel Alexander Instagram - It takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to help a life to end. Allow me over the next few weeks to thank my village. In 1983 James went to Sungardens Nursery. 40 years later he would spend his last months at @sungardens_hospice in Pretoria. James called the hospice ‘The Portal to Heaven’. It truly takes a bunch of angels to do what these Drs and nurses and staff do on a daily basis. Their compassion, skill, knowledge about palliative care and true empathy made an unbearable process bearable. Not only did they put up with James’ antics, but they (physically) held our hands on the darkest days. They didn’t just take care of James, they loved him, and for that I (and our families) will always be grateful. If you’re looking for a worthy cause, why not consider making a donation to The Sungardens Hospice, ABSA Bank, Savings Account, Nr 3498149692, Bank Code: 630193, Reference: James Alexander.   When James was still lucid he would entertain the staff on his way to his daily shower. I was often instructed to bring all sorts of paraphernalia. He never lost his sense of humour amongst all the pain and suffering. It was truly a masterclass in finding the joy amongst the sorrow.

Anel Alexander Instagram - I am absolutely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love for James and our families. Thank you for every message and every beautiful tribute. Know that we appreciate and treasure your words and prayers in this time. James was not on social media, but he would have gotten a big ‘ironic kick’ out of the fact that he’s been trending! Rest In Peace, my baby x
Anel Alexander Instagram - This will be my first Christmas in 7 years that I’m not moving, in a hospital or spending the season at home with a patient recovering from some operation. But it is also my first Christmas without you… Thinking of everybody having a Christ’miss’ this year x

Anel Alexander Instagram - “In Loving Memory of ’The Prince of Gingers’, James Alexander, 8 Jan 1978 - 28 Apr 2023. By His Grace. For James, who loved this view, from Anel, who always sat beside him.” On Sunday 28 April 2024 a bunch of family and friends went to the Drakensberg to scatter James’ ashes and put up a memorial bench for him. It felt surreal. One regularly sees those benches in parks and overlooking beautiful vistas. But it always belongs to somebody else. Some other ‘Beloved Grandpa’ or ‘Mother, daughter and friend, RIP’. But this time it was my bench... My family has a home in the Central Drakensberg and James and I’ve been going there for the 22 years we were together. From our honeymoon in April 2003 to our very last ‘holiday’ 2 weeks before his terminal diagnosis end of January 2023. We put up a bench for him in our favourite spot and planted a tree with his ashes. We had a really special memorial weekend with the friends and family. We laughed and cried, shared memories and photos and thanked God for his life. We decided to put a few different plaques on his bench as it was impossible to just sum him up in a few words. James would have liked it. It was a beautiful, heartbreaking weekend and I was just reminded again about how we cannot do this alone. We need our family and friends. And also, we need to realize, that someday, it’s gonna be your bench. That’s just part of life. Try to live a life that will elicit people to write the kind of messages that James, despite all his tortured flaws, deserved on his bench. Our bench…

Anel Alexander Instagram - Look at this incredibly special drawing I received from a Facebook Friend! Dankie mickey_theunissen dat jy jou talente met my deel. Wat ‘n kosbare herhinnering! En dankie aan my skoonsus @flettjudith wat daai joyful oomblik vasgevang het x
Anel Alexander Instagram - So this happened 🇺🇸…aaaand then we moved back to South Africa 🇿🇦! LA, it’s been a wild ride! When we first moved to Los Angeles towards the end of 2016, I remember locals saying that it was going to take 5 years before you find your feet. And they were right. Only after 5 1/2 years I started feeling at home, like I knew my way around the city and culture and the craziness that is LA. Starting over in another country halfway across the world has been one of the hardest, but most rewarding things I’ve ever had to do. I have learnt more about myself, the world, God, relationships, work and what really matters in life than I was prepared for.   I am heartbroken to have had to leave my LA family behind, but I know it is not farewell, simply ‘see y’all later!’ We have met the most incredible humans who have been so extraordinarily good to us through some pretty rough times. I will never be able to thank you all enough for your kindness and generosity. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.   People make all the difference and we’re finding ourselves in a season where we need to be closer to our family and friends in SA. I’m not sure what the future holds, but I know God has a plan and He is in control.   On to new adventures for the Alexanders!   #SAtoLAtoSA #citizensoftheworld
Anel Alexander Instagram - Cheers! Thank you to the incredible staff at @swartbergmanor for a really special time in this slice of heaven. The views are priceless, the staff like family and the food at their restaurant, Patat, was out of this world. Compliments all round. I’ll be back! #nofilter #roadtrip #beautifulsouthafrica

Anel Alexander Instagram - Hot tubbing under the stars! On an epic road-trip through our beautiful country with my dear friend @elsabeputter. First stop Rosendal in the Eastern Freestate. What a gem of a town! Thank you to @therosendal Country Retreat for hosting us and treating us like royalty. I can not recommend this location highly enough for a weekend break-away or as a wedding or special event location. Go (re)treat yourself! And there’s nothing like some locally sourced clean beauty products to help fight the winter dryness. Love your stuff @fey_craft (and everything that’s NOT in it!) #roadtrip #proudlysa #localislekker #cleanbeauty

Anel Alexander Instagram - Ok, 2023, here we go! Revisiting some old (and hopefully new) characters this year and there’s no better place to learn words than at @stijl_salon! Or like James always says: “You don’t have to learn the words, you already know them. You just need to learn the right order.” May all your words come out in the right order this year! #actresslife #BeKind

Anel Alexander Instagram - In 2007 het ek en James ons heel eerste verskyning gemaak as ‘n paartjie op TV op die toe (baie nuwe) weeklikse dramareeks: Binnelanders. Nou, 16 jaar (en ‘n paar duisend episodes en plooie later) kom saai Nina weer bietjie amok by Binneland. @binnelanderstv weeksdae op @kyknettv 144. What a blast from the past! #localislekker

Dankie weereens aan die Rooi Rose span wat my soos ’n supermodel laat lyk en voel het. En ’n spesiale shout out aan @martjieroos vir die heerlike artikel (ek verklap dalk ’n ietsie oor hoekom ek weer besig is om blond te gaan…) Lekker naweek, almal!

Anel Alexander - 5.2K Likes - James Alexander, 8 Jan 1978 - 28 April 2023 To say my heart is broken would not do justice to the 22 years we spent together. This year I’ve crossed a rubicon: I’ve spent more of my life with you, than without. I can not imagine having to do life without you by my side. You were my first love, my best friend, my work-buddy, travel-buddy, there’s-something-in-your-teeth-buddy. The first person to break my heart and then mend it again. The only person to witness me, all of me: the good, the bad, the pajamas….You were magic, a unicorn, and everybody knew it. You loved people and they loved you. And oh, how you made us laugh! You haven’t just fought a good fight, my baby, you fought the best fight. I have never witnessed anybody endure the amount of physical pain and losses and disappointments you have had to over the last 5 years and do it with such grace and integrity, whilst all the time fiercely believing and surrendering to God’s plan. You finished the race well, the suffering is over. Now Rest In Peace, my Jamie. Cancer might have won the battle for your body, but your soul was never beaten. I will always love you xxx (James was diagnosed with head an neck cancer in Jan 2019. It was his wish to keep his fight private until he was ready to share it. He was unfortunately not granted that opportunity, but his legacy will live on, as one does not go through the fire unchanged.)

You haven’t just fought a good fight, my baby, you fought the best fight. I have never witnessed anybody endure the amount of physical pain and losses and disappointments you have had to over the last 5 years and do it with such grace and integrity, whilst all the time fiercely believing and surrendering to God’s plan. You finished the race well, the suffering is over. Now Rest In Peace, my Jamie. Cancer might have won the battle for your body, but your soul was never beaten. I will always love you xxx (James was diagnosed with head an neck cancer in Jan 2019. It was his wish to keep his fight private until he was ready to share it. He was unfortunately not granted that opportunity, but his legacy will live on, as one does not go through the fire unchanged.)

I put on a dress you bought for me in London in 2014. It came in a box like in the movies. You always bought me the best clothes. I never wore this dress, because I was saving it for a special occasion, a red carpet event. In 2018 we were invited to the premiere of a movie you shot with Keanu Reeves in New York. The perfect occasion to wear my dress. But I didn’t go, cos we didn’t have the money to fly me out and of course there would be plenty more opportunities in the future. A few months later the first diagnosis came, and the dress stayed in the box. On 13 May 2023 I did get to wear it for a very special occasion, your Memorial. But knowing that you wouldn’t ever get to see me in it, I put it on for our last anniversary and walked through the hospital in my Kate Spade dress to bring you home one last time… I guess the lesson is: Don’t wait for one-day-when. Wear the dress.

In 1983 James went to Sungardens Nursery. 40 years later he would spend his last months at @sungardens_hospice in Pretoria. James called the hospice ‘The Portal to Heaven’. It truly takes a bunch of angels to do what these Drs and nurses and staff do on a daily basis. Their compassion, skill, knowledge about palliative care and true empathy made an unbearable process bearable. Not only did they put up with James’ antics, but they (physically) held our hands on the darkest days. They didn’t just take care of James, they loved him, and for that I (and our families) will always be grateful. If you’re looking for a worthy cause, why not consider making a donation to The Sungardens Hospice, ABSA Bank, Savings Account, Nr 3498149692, Bank Code: 630193, Reference: James Alexander.   When James was still lucid he would entertain the staff on his way to his daily shower. I was often instructed to bring all sorts of paraphernalia. He never lost his sense of humour amongst all the pain and suffering. It was truly a masterclass in finding the joy amongst the sorrow.

For James, who loved this view, from Anel, who always sat beside him.” On Sunday 28 April 2024 a bunch of family and friends went to the Drakensberg to scatter James’ ashes and put up a memorial bench for him. It felt surreal. One regularly sees those benches in parks and overlooking beautiful vistas. But it always belongs to somebody else. Some other ‘Beloved Grandpa’ or ‘Mother, daughter and friend, RIP’. But this time it was my bench... My family has a home in the Central Drakensberg and James and I’ve been going there for the 22 years we were together. From our honeymoon in April 2003 to our very last ‘holiday’ 2 weeks before his terminal diagnosis end of January 2023. We put up a bench for him in our favourite spot and planted a tree with his ashes. We had a really special memorial weekend with the friends and family. We laughed and cried, shared memories and photos and thanked God for his life. We decided to put a few different plaques on his bench as it was impossible to just sum him up in a few words. James would have liked it. It was a beautiful, heartbreaking weekend and I was just reminded again about how we cannot do this alone. We need our family and friends. And also, we need to realize, that someday, it’s gonna be your bench. That’s just part of life. Try to live a life that will elicit people to write the kind of messages that James, despite all his tortured flaws, deserved on his bench. Our bench…

Caption : “In Loving Memory of ’The Prince of Gingers’, James Alexander, 8 Jan 1978 – 28 Apr 2023. By His Grace. For James, who loved this view, from Anel, who always sat beside him.” On Sunday 28 April 2024 a bunch of family and friends went to the Drakensberg to scatter James’ ashes and put up a memorial bench for him. It felt surreal. One regularly sees those benches in parks and overlooking beautiful vistas. But it always belongs to somebody else. Some other ‘Beloved Grandpa’ or ‘Mother, daughter and friend, RIP’. But this time it was my bench… My family has a home in the Central Drakensberg and James and I’ve been going there for the 22 years we were together. From our honeymoon in April 2003 to our very last ‘holiday’ 2 weeks before his terminal diagnosis end of January 2023. We put up a bench for him in our favourite spot and planted a tree with his ashes. We had a really special memorial weekend with the friends and family. We laughed and cried, shared memories and photos and thanked God for his life. We decided to put a few different plaques on his bench as it was impossible to just sum him up in a few words. James would have liked it. It was a beautiful, heartbreaking weekend and I was just reminded again about how we cannot do this alone. We need our family and friends. And also, we need to realize, that someday, it’s gonna be your bench. That’s just part of life.

When we first moved to Los Angeles towards the end of 2016, I remember locals saying that it was going to take 5 years before you find your feet. And they were right. Only after 5 1/2 years I started feeling at home, like I knew my way around the city and culture and the craziness that is LA. Starting over in another country halfway across the world has been one of the hardest, but most rewarding things I’ve ever had to do. I have learnt more about myself, the world, God, relationships, work and what really matters in life than I was prepared for.   I am heartbroken to have had to leave my LA family behind, but I know it is not farewell, simply ‘see y’all later!’ We have met the most incredible humans who have been so extraordinarily good to us through some pretty rough times. I will never be able to thank you all enough for your kindness and generosity. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.   People make all the difference and we’re finding ourselves in a season where we need to be closer to our family and friends in SA. I’m not sure what the future holds, but I know God has a plan and He is in control.   On to new adventures for the Alexanders!   #SAtoLAtoSA #citizensoftheworld

Likes : 812Anel Alexander - 768 Likes - We are super excited to announce that @semisoetmovie is finally going global! Just in time for the holidays, expat fans and international viewers will be able to experience this classic SA Rom Com on NETFLIX! So, tell all your homesick friends and family in the UK, the USA, Canada and Australia, in fact anywhere where NETFLIX can be accessed (outside of Africa), to grab a bowl of popcorn and enjoy one of the most popular Afrikaans films in the history of South African cinema! (SA fans, the movie will still be available on your local streaming platforms.) #Netflix #ProudlySA

Or like James always says: “You don’t have to learn the words, you already know them. You just need to learn the right order.” May all your words come out in the right order this year! #actresslife #BeKind

Nou, 16 jaar (en ‘n paar duisend episodes en plooie later) kom saai Nina weer bietjie amok by Binneland. @binnelanderstv weeksdae op @kyknettv 144. What a blast from the past! #localislekker

Dankie weereens aan die Rooi Rose span wat my soos ’n supermodel laat lyk en voel het. En ’n spesiale shout out aan @martjieroos vir die heerlike artikel (ek verklap dalk ’n ietsie oor hoekom ek weer besig is om blond te gaan…) Lekker naweek, almal!
