Gospel musician Loyiso Bala and his beautiful wife, Jennifer Bala, cannot hide their excitement after the birth of their third baby. She's only two weeks, but she already has her own Instagram account.
Announcing the news on of her grand entry into the world on Instagram a week ago, Jennifer said: "Somebody’s here! 👶🏽🥰 I’m incredibly grateful that all went well, especially during this third peak of a pandemic. 🙌🏽We are both doing good…I’m just exhausted, swollen, healing, happy and relieved all simultaneously. 🤍 Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes and prayers. I really appreciate it 🤗Much love x"
Prior to the arrival of their daughter, Jody Olona Bala, penned a heartwarming message alongside her beautiful maternity pictures: "Thank you, Lord, for seeing me through another 𝒆𝒙𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 year around the sun.
It has probably been one of the most challenging years in the last 7, though it’s simultaneously been one filled with love, hope and gratitude.
Of course, I did not wake up like this! My skin hasn’t been this smooth since my early 20s, I haven’t had enough sleep in years and need lots of makeup to make me look ‘fresh’ these days and I certainly don’t own such magnificent gowns either!
It took a genuine collaboration with an amazing group of people, who I now count as friends, to make this happen."
Explaining their bundle of joy's names, Loyiso wrote: "Jody - God increases / He will add. Olona (uthando) - Xhosa for great love… can also be in context of great faith."
