Briefly News previously reported that Orlando Pirates forward Thembinkosi Lorch and Natasha Thahane are currently South Africa's "it" couple and they have been making the headlines lately.

In a turn of events, it actually appears that the couple is still happy together after it seemed like they had split. Social media detectives did the work and realised that pictures of the couple had been deleted from their respective accounts.

This led everyone to believe that they had broken up. However, Lorch took to social media to set the record straight about his relationship.

It appeared that the couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram but now it looks like all is well. Natasha also posted something that showed she's still happy with her boo.
