Lovebirds Matthew Booth and Bongani Mthombeni are once again the talk of the social media streets after their latest photo surfaced online.

The couple recently enjoyed Christmas together, and Bongani captured some sweet moments with her love, wearing matching Christmas crowns.

Taking to her Instagram page on 27 December 2025, Mthombeni shared a photo dump of selfies with her boyfriend seemingly on holiday, and included their picture seated at a table decorated in a Christmas theme with a tree in the background.

The photos were just some of the many snapshots of the couple's moments together, from corporate get-togethers to gym rendezvous.

Mthombeni and Booth's relationship, while still going strong, began on a rather controversial note after the pair had an affair behind their former spouses' backs.

The former Bafana Bafana star was married to his estranged wife, Sonia Booth, who exposed their affair to the world in 2022 after realising that the cheesecake he had baked in their home was not meant for their son, whose birthday was the next day. It was instead meant for his mistress at the time, Bongani.

Meanwhile, her marriage to Klaus Moller ended shortly after the affair was exposed, with Bongani citing "broken promises" as the cause of their marriage falling apart.

However, even after their messy divorces, the pair have grown closer than ever, with Bongani referring to her bae as her "life partner" in her Instagram bio, and even starting a business together.

Sadly, not everyone on social media had good things to say about the pair's relationship, as many users were quick to bring up the infamous "Cheesecakegate" scandal, arguing that a romance built on the betrayal of their former spouses is nothing to celebrate.
