Liesl Laurie Breaks Her Silence Amid Dr Musa Mthombeni Cheating Rumours

• Liesl Laurie-Mthombeni officially broke her silence after her marriage made headlines for all the wrong reasons
• Following the allegations that her husband, Dr Musa Mthombeni, was having an extramarital affair, the former beauty queen's latest social media update served as a definitive reaction to the rumours
• This follows the doctor's viral statement addressing the allegations, as well as the ongoing chatter about there being "trouble in paradise"

Liesl Laurie-Mthombeni has finally shared her first social media update after her husband was accused of cheating on her.

On Saturday, 18 April 2026, the former Miss South Africa posted her first Instagram carousel in nearly a month, sharing pictures from their wedding anniversary photoshoot as she counted down to their fifth year of marriage and subsequent celebrations.

"Counting down to the 5-year wedding anniversary street bash. Question is, will the street bash be in Eldos or the Vaal? 56 months."

The lighthearted caption served as a powerful clapback to the "trouble in paradise" narrative, signalling to fans and critics alike that the Mthombenis remained a united front and were still very much in love.

By focusing on their upcoming milestone and the joy of their journey, Liesl effectively drowned out the noise of the unverified cheating claims that had gripped social media earlier in the week.

Briefly News previously reported that a photo from an anonymous source was leaked, showing Dr Musa talking to an unknown woman. The snap was captured during his recent boys' trip to Thailand in November 2025, leading gossipmongers and critics to suggest that the former YoTV presenter had been unfaithful.

Dr Musa wasted no time in addressing the leaked "evidence" with his signature wit, dismissing the claims as "hunger tweeting" and "nonsense."

With Liesl now breaking her silence through their anniversary countdown, it seems the couple is more interested in booking their next "street bash" than entertaining unverified snapshots from the past.
