Sipping on an iced coffee, she ambled through the picturesque European city with her boyfriend's arm visible as they strolled side by side.
As keen-eyed followers dissected the video, several comments began to surface, linking the mystery man to none other than media personality Maps Maponyane.
User @rainqueenmodjadj stated: 'I went to Maps Maponyane's IG, outfit confirmed, location confirmed, 🥰.'
The hunt for answers in this modern-day romance continued with @sosospay2 quipping: 'Hiding Maps in 2025 is wild.'
Other users speculated, 'another Miss SA wedding loading🥰,' and @yasslawd_sa noted, 'I love how she's giving us a subtle hint…. If you have Maps, you'll always reach your destination.'
Concurrently, Maponyane shared his own snapshots from an idyllic getaway in Budapest, captioning them: 'Just Me, Dad Selfieing My Way Through The Disney That Is Budapest.'
The striking similarities in their travel destinations added fuel to the fire of romance speculation.
Maponyane and Musida, who have been the focus of dating rumours, were previously spotted together at the Hollywoodbets Durban July in 2024.

WATCH: TikTok couple's airport lounge saga - boyfriend faces backlash for leaving girlfriend behind
A young couple's relationship has come into the spotlight after a man left his girlfriend behind at departures to go chill at a premium lounge alone. Image: Pexels In an age where social media can amplify even the most benign of experiences, an Austrian content creator's trip shared on TikTok has left many viewers shaking their heads. Known by her handle @isibell777, Isi took to the platform to recount a troubling episode from her recent travels with her boyfriend, who allegedly left her behind while enjoying exclusive airport lounge access. In the video that has since garnered over 1.9 million views, the content creator expressed her disappointment as she showcased her boyfriend casually strolling towards the Vienna Lounge, leaving her behind at the departure terminal. "When only your boyfriend has access to the airport lounge," she remarked, clearly disheartened. "So much for never letting you go. I'll be waiting outside alone," she continued, reinforcing her sense of exclusion. Despite the situation, she attempted to lighten the mood, adding, "But he took me an apple from there :) #boyfriend #truegentleman #airportlounge." Video Player is loading.

Commenter @stefaninkl stated, 'As a man, there are only two options - don't use the lounge or buy one for your girlfriend. Whatever he did is not an option. You can find better.' Another user, @paige_me____, noted that 'lots of times lounge access is tied to your credit card and VERY often you can bring in one guest under your card. I've done it. He hates you 💜 hope this helps.' Many others echoed similar sentiments. Elenagramm0 shared a personal perspective, saying, 'My husband has access to all lounges usually because he travels a lot, but if a lounge doesn't allow me to enter even with payment, then he doesn't enter either! Are we serious? Ladies, please raise that bar, it's gone to hell!' Adding to the discussion, @ advised Isabella, 'Wow… I suggest you leave! Usually, when I have had lounge access, I had the ability to sign a guest in! If not, you either buy access so you can both enjoy, or you stay outside with your partner.' The overwhelming consensus amongst social media users has been critical of the boyfriend's decision to prioritise his lounge experience over his partner's feelings, raising questions about relationship dynamics in the digital age.

Deliberately aiming to put out at least 8 videos from this project — K.O (@MrCashtime) August 9, 2025 This commitment to visual content was met with enthusiasm from fans. One user expressed gratitude, saying, 'Thank you for this; maybe other people will see the value of music videos. We are tired of people dropping albums and not giving us music videos.' Others showed respect for K.O's approach, with comments like 'Big respect' and 'Yes, you are moving differently now.' This announcement follows the release of K.O's fifth studio album, 'Phara City', which dropped on June 13. Fans are still revelling in the album, especially since it has been a while since his previous studio project, 'SR3', released in 2022. K.O revealed that 'Phara City' was more than a year in the making, carefully crafted to create timeless moments with lasting impact. His deliberate pace shows his dedication to quality over quantity, preferring to take time to ensure every detail is perfect. In a recent interview discussing the motivations behind the album's timing, K.O spoke about the profound significance of 'Phara City' in South Africa's current socio-political climate. 'I think the age where I'm at right now, I don't only just want to be remembered as a dope rapper ... I now want to be even more intentional, especially in the climate that we are subjected to as a country right now,' said the multi-award-winning artist. 'I don't want to shy away from the fact that there are socio-economic issues that we are growing up under, and whether we want to mask them and hide those things from the rest of the world or not, they are a reality.'
