Married at First Sight Star Nkululeko Mahlangu Announces First Baby on the Way

Congratulations are pouring in for Married at First Sight season 2 couple Nkululeko Mahlangu and his wife, Tshegofatso, who have officially revealed—about two months after their wedding—that they’re expecting their first child together.

The news was shared in a joint Instagram announcement, where the pair showcased Tshegofatso’s growing baby bump. In the caption, they wrote, “Our greatest blessing is on the way. With hearts full of gratitude, we’re so excited to share that we’re expecting a baby! Every heartbeat is a reminder of God’s faithfulness, and we can’t wait to meet the little miracle He’s entrusted to us.”

They continued, “This new chapter is already the most beautiful adventure of our lives. Please keep our growing family in your prayers as we prepare to welcome our little one. For this child we have prayed, and the Lord has granted the desires of our hearts.”

While the pregnancy announcement is new, fans had been raising eyebrows for weeks prior. Speculation grew as Tshegofatso appeared to keep her stomach tucked away, particularly around the time of their wedding, prompting supporters to wonder whether a baby announcement was on the way.

Addressing the chatter directly, Tshegofatso later said in a video, “Some of you guys are guessing, and we do not want to confirm anything as yet. Until then, it is still a surprise. When the time is right, we will let you know.”
