Idols winner Khaya Mthethwa has rubbished claims that he was romantically involved with actress Nomzamo Mbatha.
Rumours about their alleged love affair first surfaced late last year, when it was reported that Khaya had popped the question. But then just a few months later fans were shocked to hear that they had called it quits becasue Nomzamo had apparently cheated.
Despite the storm these reports caused Nomzamo and Khaya remained silent on the matter until now.
Khaya confirmed to heat magazine that there was never any truth to those media reports. "There was never any truth to those stories about us being in a relationship," he explained.
He added that the rumours really hurt their families, who are quite traditional. "The papers were telling them that their kids aren't friends, as we had been telling them and that we were actually planning on getting married and didn't talk to them," he said.
The duo never felt the need to set the record straight because their relationship had always been platonic. When heat called Nomzamo she agreed with Khaya saying that she "doesn't want to comment on fictitious stories."
Oh well...glad that's cleared up!
