Dr Musa Mthombeni has never been one to shy away from expressing his love for his wife, Liesl Laurie-Mthombeni.
In his latest post, he pulled out all the stops to let people know how much he misses his wife, who has been on a girls' trip in Paris, France.
The radio and TV presenter has been enjoying her stay in the City of Love.
She has been sharing the moments spent at different renowned parts of Paris with her girls on her Instagram feed, captivating her followers with her stunning, chic looks.
While Liesel had been out and about for a couple of days, her loving husband was back home, missing her and struggling to keep it together.
In his witty and dramatic nature, he took to social media to post a 'Missing' person picture of the presenter. Another picture has 'Wanted for stealing my heart' written on it.
The jokester went as far as jokingly pledging a R1 billion reward for his wife's return.
The caption of the post read: 'ALERT! General Mkhwanazi has issued an urgent public service announcement! The following people are both MISSING and WANTED by the National Intervention Unit.
'The suspects are extremely gorgeous and dangerous at the same time. If spotted, please contact Musawenkosiwesizwesethusamazulu Mthombeni! Reward- R100 000 000.'
The two lovebirds got engaged in June 2021 and tied the knot in August 2021 have since been giving their followers a glimpse into their happy marriage with their social media presence.
Musa, who is also known for his banter, has previously shared monthly celebrations of their love and union, calling them 'monthversary'.
When they got married, the couple opted to wait to start a family, allowing them to enjoy their time together before having a full house.
They have since been travelling the world together, celebrating their love for one other in different destinations such as Greece, Germany and Hong Kong to list a few.

Veteran Kill Bill actor found dead at his home

Hollywood actor Michael Madsen died on July 3, at his home in California. image: Instagram/michaelmadsenofficial Veteran actor Michael Madsen has died at the age of 67. The highly-praised actor is best known for his antagonistic roles in such Quentin Tarantino classics as Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill. HOW THE WORLD CAME TO LOSE MICHAEL MADSEN The 67-year-old Madsen was found at his home in Malibu, California, on the morning of July 3, 2025. ADVERTISEMENT The actor was pronounced dead on the scene after he succumbed to cardiac arrest, which his manager has confirmed. MICHAEL MADSEN'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO HOLLYWOOD Madsen enjoyed the limelight for more than 40 years and amassed more than 300 film and television credits. He had a knack for really locking into roles that saw him portray an antagonist, which led him and Tarantino to develop an on-screen rapport of the highest order. THE RAZOR BLADE AND THE EAR Madsen has a myriad of memorable scenes, but none more iconic than the torture scene in the quintessential, Tarantino film, Reservoir Dogs (1992). A robbery goes awry due to a cop infiltrating a caper. The unhinged Mr Blonde, portrayed by Madsen, goes about sniffing the mole out. He zeros in on the person he thinks is compromised and slices his ear off while dancing playfully to Stuck In The Middle With You by Stealers Wheel. OTHER MUST-SEE MADSEN APPEARANCES Madsen will usually be a dark character, as is evinced by his work in such films as Donnie Brasco (1997), The Hateful Eight (2015), and Kill Bill: Volumes 1 and 2 (2003-2004). He showed a softer side to his art in Free Willy (1993) and portrayed an anti-hero in Sin City (2005) as the crooked cop, Bob. His sister Virginia Madsen-an Oscar nominated actor-paid homage to her brother with some sincere sentiments shared about him in a statement. 'He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw,' she intimated. ADVERTISEMENT WHAT THE ACTOR WAS WORKING ON BEFORE HE DIED For the last few years, he had been placing his efforts on creating a few independent feature films. He was also gearing up to release a book of poetry. The collection entitled Tears For My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems was an offering fans were anticipating. In March, he became an ambassador for a cigar brand, a new venture about which he was excited. Madsen is survived by five children. He lost his son, Hudson, to suicide in 2022. This had a hard-hitting effect on the enthralling talent from Chicago, Illinois. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MICHAEL MADSEN FILM?

Blake Lively subpoenas major media figures in Justin Baldoni smear campaign case

Blake Lively is intensifying her case against Justin Baldoni.. Image: Instagram. Hollywood actress Blake Lively has reportedly issued subpoenas to several prominent content creators in the US, including Perez Hilton, Candace Owens and Andy Signore, for her ongoing case against Justin Baldoni. This new development is part of Lively's effort to substantiate her claims of an alleged smear campaign orchestrated by Baldoni, her co-star and director in the film "It Ends With Us", whom she accused of sexual harassment and retaliation. Baldoni has denied the sexual harassment allegations made against him by Lively. According to online reports, the subpoenas were issued in an attempt to obtain communication records between these influencers and Baldoni or his associates. Lively's lawyers aim to prove that Baldoni's team was behind a campaign designed to malign her reputation in the lead-up to the film's release. Owens, a political commentator, author and activist, however, expressed her surprise at the news in a statement to "People". "Given the fact that I have not received any subpoena yet, I appreciate Blake's team leaking this to 'TMZ' to alert me to it," she said. Owens added: "I have no idea what I am being subpoenaed for, as I knew none of these parties when their respective lawsuits were filed. But stay tuned, and I'll let audiences know on my podcast ('The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast')." Hilton, a veteran celebrity blogger who has been tracking the developments of this high-profile case, responded in a video to his followers, stating: "I take this very seriously … I have not been served a subpoena yet. But I will comply with the law and I have nothing to hide." Signore, who has a YouTube channel focusing on celebrity trials, also took to social media to clarify his position. Watch his full video below. Baldoni's alleged $400 million countersuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, was recently dismissed by Judge Lewis J. Liman, who ruled against Baldoni's claims of extortion and defamation. Meanwhile, Lively's legal team argues that Baldoni and his team are responsible for strategically disseminating damaging content about her online. Her complaint includes allegations that Baldoni's team "seeded" negative content with online creators and across platforms like Reddit to escalate the harm to Lively's image, a claim backed by various incidents leading up to the film's premiere in August 2024. Lively has extended her reach, also issuing subpoenas to music executive Scooter Braun and indicating interest in the communications of other influential friends, including Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman. The trial is set to start on March 9, 2026.
