Rumour has it that award-winning sports anchor Thomas Mlambo and 2000FM sports presenter Romy Titus are in a relationship.

According to Drum magazine, a close friend of the two sports boffins claim that they have been dating for more than a year, but hinted that Titus might be reluctant to make the relationship public because of Mlambo's reputation as a lady's man.

"They have been at it for a while, but only time will tell if Romy will convince Thomas to take her more seriously," said the insider, according to the publication.

"Thomas is known to be a bad boy in the industry, not committing to anyone. And all Romy wants is a baby and a happy husband."

Mlambo, however, rubbished these claims when asked to comment, insisting that he and Titus are just good colleagues.

He said: "Romy and I are not dating, but we are colleagues - we used to work together at SuperSport and we're now working together at the SABC Sport. We have a good working history."
