As expected, the views on this were mixed. Some people even said this is not a shocker as it has been a rumour.

@NikeAdi24623 revealed:

"I thought we all knew they acting. All these shows hire actors. Love Back on Mzansi Magic, they had a girl asking for love back from a guy kanti to my surprise, they were actually cousins and got paid to act in that episode."

@Lerato37674561 claimed:

"Yes, they are acting in that clip. But on the episode, they weren't."
