What happened to Boity? Fans confused as Anton Jeftha moves on

- MARCHELLE ABRAHAMS marchelle.abrahams@inl.co.za

WHEN Boity Thulo and Anton Jeftha went Instagram official in November 2021, the couple looked genuinely happy.

Rumours surroundin­g their romance started surfacing when the rapper kept referring to the actor as her “bestie” in cryptic posts.

Thulo even went as far as denying she was dating the Legacy actor when appearing as a guest on Lasizwe’s YouTube show Drink or Tell The Truth in September that same year.

Things got serious when they attended the SA Style Awards Judges’ Dinner, looking very much like a couple. That was three years ago. Things between Thulo and Jeftha seemed to have simmered down as the two quietly went their separate ways.

Now, in an apparent confirmati­on that they are definitely no longer dating, the actor posted a series of pictures with his new squeeze while enjoying a holiday in Langebaan.

To make sure there’s no hard feelings, Thulo herself even liked the post.

But that didn’t stop fans from speculatin­g.

“Stop it !!!!! What about Boity, that’s why we follow you,” confessed an online user.

Another posted, reasonably: “Y’all should move on … when last did you see content of Boity and Ant? Yho nina ... Celebritie­s don’t owe us a forever ... Yall break up everyday and move on, what is so shocking about them?”

Yet there were still die-hard romantics who thought Jeftha’s new post was a ploy to mislead the public: “Boity liked this post, maybe they are just acting??”

In March last year, gossip blog Zimoja quoted an insider as saying that “there were allegedly many insecuriti­es” in the TV personalit­y and actor’s relationsh­ip.

“Boity does not come cheap, from her eating to the jewellery she wears, it can be intimidati­ng to an artist who is just working,” the source told the publicatio­n.
