Just one week before the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, or AFCON, got underway, he was married.

But in an interview with local media, Mane revealed his joy, saying (via The Sun): “To be honest, I’m thrilled that the president has congratulated me on my accomplishments as much as, well, not just my colleagues.

“I’m glad everyone is wishing me luck and congratulating me, so I’m happy and I hope everything works out.”

In 2022, Mane disclosed his desire to wed a woman who values religion and refrains from using social media.
