According to The African Exponent, the 21-year-old model was born in Kenya after her family fled South Sudan. At age 7, the model moved to Australia with her family. Now, she is in New York studying law.

Chuol announced on Twitter that there is still a wedding planned for 2021 in Los Angeles.

Clarifying to her fans, who weren't expecting the marriage so soon, the model said: "thank you for the congratulations, and see you at the 2021 wedding in LA."

She also apologized to a fan who thought her response to the question of the 2021 wedding was curt.

Sorry love, I didn’t mean to seem rude- but I was in the midst of a lot and wanted to get the answer across to you.

Thank you for the congratulations, and see you at the 2021 wedding in LA :).

The couple first announced their engagement on Instagram on November 28.

"Popped my engagement to my angelic, intelligent and beyond perfect fiancé," Chuol wrote, posting of a video of the newlyweds together.

Popped my engagement to my angelic, intelligent and beyond perfect fiancé( ????) – to my entire village today. ???? Anyways, Here is a mini compilation of the life that I get to live, in Love. In a place where I feel safe, in the arms of safety. I have many trust issues when it comes to relationships ( we can get into context, in the near future). Furthermore, I was on my “it’s the 20’s let’s not title anything”. And then I thought about how I would feel to wake up next to a just anyone, and not an ALEXUS. You mean the world to me. Forever grateful for you, and the village that you’ve brought into my life.

In an interview with Vogue earlier this year, Chuol talked about using her voice to make an impact. The 21-year-old said it was especially important for her to speak up during the massacre in Sudan in June.

“I only started seeing anything [reported] about Sudan on social media four days after I first posted; a few celebrities started posting too," she told Vogue. "When I made my profile picture blue, I got a bunch of messages asking why. I replied: ‘Hi, thank you for asking this very important question. Right now in Sudan, my home country, this is what’s happening.’"

The New York-based model said she felt an obligation to speak up because she is Sudanese, although she was born in Kenya.

“With the internet shut down in Sudan, [the outcry from social media users around the world] needed to happen to draw attention to the situation," she said. "What I really wanted was the reaction. If the world's not reacting to it, there's no action."
