While people thought love was in the air for lifestyle content creator Sarah Langa and Springboks star Sacha Mngomezulu, he has quashed the rumours.
According “New24”, Mngomezulu clarified that he’s “100% not dating” and barely knows Langa.
The rumours started when Langa shared a picture on her Instagram stories wearing a bracelet written “Sacha”.
Additionally, of the 1,964 users Langa follows on Instagram, Mngomezulu is the sole Springboks player. This contrasts sharply with the 681,000 users who follow Langa.
Rumours about them sparked a debate about the age gaps in celebrity relationships.
Most celebrities don’t care about the age gaps. Meanwhile, society sometimes has double standards depending on the couple in question. However, they will drag the older one in the relationship (especially if it’s a woman).
For example, when Idris Elba, 52, and Sabrina, 35, got married, most people on social media ignored their 17-year gap and were envious of Sabrina.
“She bagged Idris,” some said, while others continued to lurk at their crush, Idris.
But today, they are bashing American media personally Draya Michele (39) for dating Jalen Green (22) although their age gap is the same as the Elba’s.
Then again, it also comes down to how old the person is. For example, Green is in his early 20s, while Michele is in her late 30s.
Nonetheless, to avoid all the discourse, it’s always best to date someone within at least a five-year age gap.
Meanwhile, netizens can calm down now that the rumour has been addressed.
