Word on the X (formerly Twitter) streets is that podcasters Thakgi Ledwaba and Khanyi Mars have been seeing each other on the down low. This, according to social media watchdogs who have been tracking the pair's online behaviour, convinced that they are more than just colleagues.
On 27 May 2026, ElsSaidIt expressed both shock and disbelief after seemingly coming across apparent evidence confirming the romance between the former Piano Pulse co-hosts.
"So Thakgi and Mars are really dating?"
The claim sparked a series of reactions from the user's followers who have seemingly been suspicious of the pair's close bond.

Khanyi, who recently announced her exit from The Music Pulse, was previously linked to rapper Tony Dayimane, having confirmed their relationship and eventual breakup in mid-2025.
Her former co-host, on the other hand, was at the centre of an explosive gender based violence (GBV) scandal in early 2026, after a woman who was said to be his ex-girlfriend went public and accused the podcaster of assaulting her in 2023. He later managed to clear his name, and the woman was ordered to issue a public apology and withdraw her statements.
The rumours surrounding his alleged relationship with Khanyi arrive just days after he posted a video of her blowing a kiss to the camera in one of his Instagram updates. While this wouldn't be the first time he snuck her snap in her photo dumps, to fans, it was the ultimate confirmation of their blossoming romance.
