Mihlali reportedly dating Nigerian footballer

It looks like Mihlali Ndamase has finally moved on from Leeroy Sidambe after their on-and-off relationship that made headlines online. The star who has been keeping a low profile on social media is allegedly dating Toluwalase Arokodare, a Nigerian footballer based in Dubai.

According to a post shared on TikTok by @sthemaphungula, eagle-eyed social media users managed to put two and two together and concluded that Mihlali and Toluwalase were dating.

Per the post, it was Mihlali's new boo who spoiled her with the birkin bags she recently flaunted on social media during her Dubai getaway. Fans also noted that Mihlali has been posting about the Nigerian star, and her mother follows him. Watch the video below:

Relationship expert talk about age differences between couples

Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, relationship expert Paula Quinsee said that although there may be challenges in relationships with huge age gaps, some relationships thrive. She said:

"Despite the age difference, if the couple's values, respect, and emotional intelligence levels align, then age is just a number. There are many examples of couples in age-gap relationships that are thriving due to their mutual understanding; they are aligned and have clear communication between them."
