A viral picture of Mpumelelo Mseleku holding Amahle Biyela has sent fans into a frenzy, as many are convinced that the couple's relationship is on the rocks. The image shows Mpumelelo gripping Amahle in a way that struck viewers as stiff and loveless, while Amahle's expression remained flat, with no smile in sight.

Meanwhile, with Tirelo Kale, he held her hand lovingly, and she looked all smiles. X user @EmmiieTLO posted the X post saying, "Why omunye ebanjwe kanje hiiii 😭😭😭😭 I am not starting anything ngiyabuza," she wrote, which translates to: "Why is he holding the other one like this? I am not starting anything, I am just asking."
