Morikawa burst with happiness over Zhu's post on Monday, saying,

"my wife"

Zhu wrote on Instagram last November:

“A lifetime together forever”

The couple have been together for quite some time before their wedding and marked five years together this March.

“Happy 5 years together @collin_morikawa,” Zhu shared in March. “Can’t believe how much we have been through together, from long distance for 2 years to moving in together for the last 3, getting a dog together and now we’re ENGAGED! can’t wait to spend a lifetime together with you!”

After nearly less than a year, the couple exchanged vows and Collin Morikawa will now head to the Bahamans as a married man.
