The star is reportedly living with musician Lonr following her recent split from husband of 16 years Ol.
Now the step-father of Lonr - real name Elijah Dias - has spoken out on the surprise romance, insisting the rapper won't settle down with Thandiwe.
Speaking to The Sun from his New York home, Jimmy Varner, 58, said his family found out about their romance through pictures in the media.
Jimmy is the ex-husband of Elijah's mum Mikelyn Roderick, 63. He said that the whole family found out about the romance through media reports.
He said: 'Lord have mercy on her - and him. She looks crazy as hell to me. All the pretty ones are crazy like that.
'But when he's ready to settle down and be having kids, he ain't going to settle for her.
Elijah said that he is not concerned by the 24 year age gap between the pair, explaining: 'Look, he knows what to do with an older woman, I'm not worried about the age gap. He's mature, he can handle himself... she had better be ready for him.'

It was reported the Line Of Duty star is 'living with 25-year-old musician Lonr', following the pair's recent public display of affection in Malibu, and wants 'everyone to know' about the romance.
The actress is said to be acting like a 'love-struck teenager' while pals close to the star have claimed Ol was 'blindsided' by her new romance.
A source told The Sun: 'Thandiwe has been staying with Elijah in LA and is acting like a smitten teenager. Her wedding ring is off and it seems she has fallen for him.
'Thandiwe seems like she can't get enough of Elijah. When he isn't working, he is with Thandiwe. They are very much a couple and Elijah is acting like the perfect boyfriend.
Family: She and Ol share three children Ripley, 21, Nico, 17, and Booker, eight (pictured with her husband and daughters in 2019)
'She isn't hiding this romance. She wants everyone to know about it.'
Thandiwe has been liking and commenting on the rapper's social media posts since at least January 2020. However, there is no suggestion they had a relationship back then.
The young musician has insisted Thandiwe's number one priority is the welfare of her three children.
Lonr has broken his silence on the pair's relationship, insisting Thandiwe is still focused on the upbringing of her children with the filmmaker - Ripley, 21, Nico, 17, and Booker, eight.
