Broadcaster and medical doctor Dr Musa Mthombeni and his wife, former Miss South Africa Liesl Laurie, have once again found themselves at the centre of social media speculation. This time, a viral video convinced some users that the celebrity couple have secretly been raising a child away from the public eye.

The couple have frequently faced questions about when they plan to have children, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). In 2024, they publicly addressed the constant speculation and pushed back against what they described as the "pregnancy police." Now, the conversation has resurfaced after a beach outing sparked fresh rumours.

The post went viral on the microblogging platform and sparked a flurry of reactions. While others explained who the young girl in the video was, others called out the X user for turning a deeply personal topic into engagement bait.

Here are some of the comments:

@Wothi_ndosi85 questioned:

“A lot of you aren't worried about any potential future consequences of things you say online neh?”

@mehlomakhulu87 reproached:

“You just want their fertility to be a topic neh. And she gets to be called names and stuff. Umdala.”

@TshidiPruddie remarked:

“That might be a kid from Liesl's family.”

@busiwe_bubu criticised:

“Engagement farming with sensitive topics 🚮”

@Pinkdoll_love asked:

“Why are you playing like that? What if they really want a child but they having difficulties?”

@Gosiame10111 remarked:

“Lying for reactions is an act of desperation for Elon's money. You’re losing your worth, ‘NTATE’. Watch out before you just become an unreliable source generally, ‘NTATE.’ Your title doesn’t suit your doings 💔🤷🏽‍♂️”

This isn't the first time Musa Mthombeni and Liesl Laurie's lives have been the centre of online speculation.

Earlier this year, Briefly News reported that Musa Mthombeni broke his silence following allegations that he had been unfaithful to his wife during a boys' trip in Thailand.

Taking to his official X account, the medical doctor also leaned into the moment and turned it to his advantage.
