Thando Thabethe’s Rihanna Costume Fuels Engagement And Pregnancy Rumours “The Feet Gave It Away”

Halloween may be over, but Thando Thabethe is still haunting timelines! The radio and TV darling set social media ablaze after channelling a pregnant Rihanna for Halloween, leaving Mzansi convinced she’s not just playing dress-up… but soft-launching a real-life baby bump.

Thando Thabethe’s Look That Got the Streets Talking

Thando showed up and showed out in a pink long coat, light-wash jeans, and a curly weave — a clear nod to Rihanna’s iconic maternity look from 2022. But what really got the internet buzzing? Sis didn’t stop at the outfit — she rocked a full-on fake baby bump front and centre, just like Riri.

She proudly posted side-by-side pictures of herself and Rihanna on Instagram, captioning the look without much explanation. But it didn’t take long before X gossiper @musa_khawula reposted the images on X (Twitter) with the caption: “Robert Marawa’s fiancée Thando Thabethe channels Rihanna for 2025 Halloween.”

Engagement and Baby Rumours Take Over the TL

Thando’s alleged engagement to sports broadcaster Robert Marawa has always been a talking point — from secret vacations to lowkey dates. But now, the Halloween post has reignited the gossip. Fans believe this was Thando’s subtle “announcement” — a visual wink to what’s really going on.

Neither Thando nor Robert has confirmed (or denied) anything, but one thing’s for sure — the timeline is convinced there’s more to this Rihanna tribute than meets the eye.

As one user summed it up perfectly: “She might not say it, but her costume did the talking.”

Whether it was a clever Halloween moment or a real-life reveal, Thando Thabethe has Mzansi talking. Between the alleged engagement, swollen toes, and that “too-real” bump — the people are watching.

For now, we’ll keep refreshing her Instagram — just in case the “Congratulations Mama” comments start rolling in for real!
