Trouble in paradise? The Mthombenis rocked by cheating rumours

The rumour mill is buzzing with allegations that Dr Musa Mthombeni is cheating on his wife, Liesl Laurie-Mthombeni, with a white woman.

On Wednesday, 15 April, an X user expressed curiosity about the decrease in romantic content posted by the couple on their social media platforms. This was followed by claims from commentary accounts suggesting trouble in paradise.

One account wrote that word on the street is that Dr Musa is having an affair with a white woman. No further details were provided. Some people defended the couple, saying they had recently seen them together, while others believed the rumours.

One post leaked a direct message from an unidentified source claiming that Musa purchased services from a high-end booker during a trip to Phuket.

The former broadcaster has previously been trolled for showing too much love to his wife. The online community was divided on this perception, with some arguing that healthy marriages do exist and theirs might be one of them. Others, like Slik Talk, felt the marriage seemed one-sided, with Dr Musa doing most of the posting.

The Mthombenis got married in August 2021. Their wedding came as a surprise since the public did not even know they were dating. They often share content from their travels together, which sometimes leaves others envious.

Their marriage has stood the test of time despite trolls asking about their plans to expand their family. Liesl once clapped back at the unnecessary pressure, telling people to leave her womb alone and leave other women’s wombs alone. She added that whether she is or is not pregnant, people just want to be seen.

The couple proudly celebrates their birthdays and other milestones. When Dr Musa completed his Master of Medicine in Diagnostic Radiology in 2025, his wife wrote a touching caption honouring his achievement.
