Maps has kept his love life under wraps, but eagle-eyed social media users have often taken note of clues regarding who he's dating.

In July 2024, South Africans speculated that Maps Maponyane had officially confirmed being in a relationship with former Miss South Africa Shudufhadzo Musiḓa.

Taking to his Instagram page, Maps posted a throwback photo from the Durban July, posing beside his rumoured bae, seemingly holding hands behind her dress as they wore Mzukisi Mbane pieces.

Maps praised Shudu for her activism in raising awareness of HIV/ AIDS with her dress and work in the Forever Wena campaign.

The second slide was of a famous meme in which a man hilariously asks if someone understands something he hinted at, and if not, they should forget about it and move on.

Social media users concluded that Maponyane's hints were all too obvious and that he'd made his relationship with Shudufhadzo Musiḓa public.
