The Queen Sono actress recently brought the country to a standstill as she went on a date with Twitter influencer Michael Bucwa, aka Mr Smeg. As the date was streamed live on YouTube, fans got a chance to watch their interaction real time, and we have to say, it was one of the cutest real life dates Mzansi had ever had the pleasure of watching.
We all held our breaths when Mr Smeg asked Pearl to be his Valentine, as did both of them too. And after a big, nervous laugh, she said yes, starting excitement all over Mzansi social media.
But now she has revealed that she is going to stand him up, and tweeps don't know how to feel about it. According to the actress, she has recently found out that she will be away for work on the date, which obviously means cancelling the date.
Mr Smeg is visibly upset, as he went online to announce that the date is cancelled. But fans have been stepping in to help both of them digest the sad situation, as well as to comfort each other, as the Pearl fandom was rather excited for the event.

He has been advised to take it easy. She obviously did not want to cancel the date, but she has to. And they say, at least she has cancelled for a noble reason -- work, rather than just because she didn't feel like it. Plus, a date can always be rearranged. They did it once, they can do it again. Valentine's day will have passed, but their date can still be special.

On the other hand, some fans see a more sinister motive behind the cancellation. Those who watched their first date vividly remember how Dj Oskido interrupted them and made himself comfortable with Pearl, at Mr Smeg's expense. Now they believe that the cancellation is Oskido's doing, even though they can't explain how that would be so.
But as the optimistic fans have pointed out, there's always another time. Yes, we were all pretty excited to watch the second installment of the National Lunch Date, and on the most romantic day too. But Pearl is a woman of her word, and she and Smeg seemed to genuinely enjoy each other's company, so we have to believe that the second date will happen in due time.
We hope Mr Smeg is okay and not taking it too hard too.
