While the post was originally intended as a lighthearted manifestation of a Valentine's Day romance, it went far beyond a simple dating request, triggering a heated debate about Momo's romantic life.

Kelvin Momo and his former partner, Babalwa M, were together for approximately four years, with their relationship becoming public knowledge around 2020, making them one of the country's most-loved couples.

Their love was more than just a celebrity romance; it was a creative powerhouse, with Babalwa’s vocals becoming the signature sound for Kelvin Momo’s deep, soulful productions, leading to collaborations like Maye Maye and Amalobolo.

The news of their split surfaced in 2024, sending shockwaves across the music industry, as fans struggled to separate the two artists whose brands had become interlinked.

The photo of Momo and his rumoured new missus appeared around this time, leading many to question the producer's loyalty to his ex, suggesting that the new bae may have always been in the picture.

As the image resurfaced on social media timelines, fans revisited Momo's split from Babalwa M, remarking on how the end of their romance also signalled the end of a golden era for soulful Amapiano collaborations.
