Dating rumours between Andile and Pearl started after the two were spotted having breakfast together at Tashas restaurant in Morningside.

According to sources, Andile and Pearl were cuddling and kissing at the restaurant.

“Their thing is not old. We are not sure if it’s serious yet, but Andile is a flirt and Pearl is single. So, we don’t know how far this will go,” said one source.

Employees from the restaurant also confirmed that the pair are together.

“They came [here] last month. They sat at the table next to the tree and were holding hands and touching one another like a couple,” one staff member said.

Another staffer added: “They even left together and kissed in the parking lot in front of a lot of people. They looked very cosy and touchy.”
