Mpho wa Badimo has kept her dating life fairly private although there have been rumours that she was dating Themba Broly, aka Ghost who was also a housemate on Big Brother Mzansi season three and the alternate runner- up.
The dating rumour was fueled after a video of the two former Big Brother Mzansi cosying up to each other went viral on social media.
