NATASHA Thahane’s name is being strewn across social media after her soccer star baby daddy Thembinkos­i Lorch’s recent live stream.

In the video which is currently trending on X, Lorch can be seen partying at a pub with two unknown women.

He takes turns holding each woman while dancing in front of the camera.

The Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder and Thahane had secretly dated since 2021. They went on to have a son together and eventually called it quits in February.

At the time, the Blood and Water star wrote: “A brief update: Thembinkos­i Lorch and I have mutually decided to part ways romantical­ly.

“Despite the change in our relationsh­ip, we will remain friends and co-parents.”

She added that she was looking forward to this new chapter in her life.

Despite their break-up, social media users weren’t impressed by Lorch’s behaviour.

@Mlu__N7 or made things to be difficult in their relationsh­ip with Natasha Thahane because this is the life he wanted to live?.”

@Ori_RSA wrote: “Natasha is busy single mothering when Lorch is busy with hoes.”

Meanwhile, other users were concerned that the video was bringing his soccer club into disrepute by showing him in a poor light to those who look up to him.

@Yell0man posted: “Concerned about video Lorch posted on Instagram showing people engaging in actions that may not reflect profession­alism.

“I urge him to consider (the) influence his actions may have on others, esp younger fans who admire him. I believe in Lorch’s ability to learn and grow from this experience.”

@LuticMolo wrote: “We should be focused now on celebratin­g our historic 7th in a row, 14th title. Now we wake up with Lorch trending for things that are not football related. It is bringing the club into disrepute.

“And obviously dancing to the enemy’s tune. Member that video is defocusing us.”
