The rumours have sparked debate on social media, with users weighing in on the allegations despite there being no confirmation from those involved.
Popcorn Room claims spark speculation
The latest buzz gained traction after the gossip from the Popcorn Room account claimed that Buhle allegedly received gifts and trips from Thami.
The claims prompted social media users to call Buhle out by name, with some also referencing past unverified rumours linking her to another celebrity’s husband.
However, the allegations have not been independently verified, and neither Buhle nor Thami has publicly confirmed that they are romantically involved.
Khanyi Mbau adds to the online buzz
Media personality Khanyi Mbau also appeared to add fuel to the conversation with her comment, “No one is above the program.”
Her words prompted further discussion among social media users, although it remains unclear what specifically she was referring to when making the comment.

Social media debates accountability
The allegations have also sparked a broader conversation about accountability in relationships.
While some users directed criticism towards Buhle, others argued that married men should also take responsibility when allegations of infidelity arise.
Others urged social media users not to treat unverified claims as fact, highlighting the lack of confirmation from Buhle, Thami and Lerato.

Buhle Samuels is no stranger to relationship scrutiny
The latest speculation also echoes the scrutiny Buhle has faced over her personal life.
The actress has previously found herself the subject of relationship rumours involving other public figures, although some of those claims have also remained unverified.
Her history of being discussed in celebrity gossip circles has led some social media users to express sympathy for her, while others have grown tired of what they describe as an endless cycle of celebrity relationship rumours.

No statements from those involved
Despite the growing online discussion, no statements have emerged from Buhle, Thami or Lerato confirming or addressing the latest allegations at the time of publication.
For now, the claims remain unverified online rumours, and there is no confirmed evidence establishing a romantic relationship between Buhle and Thami.
As the conversation continues to unfold online, social media users remain divided, with some expressing sympathy for Lerato and others calling for caution before drawing conclusions from unconfirmed celebrity gossip.
