South Africa’s celebrity scene is in the middle of a major baby boom, with stars sharing everything from unexpected pregnancy announcements to closely guarded birth news. Social media has been filled with glowing maternity portraits, emotional messages and memorable baby-bump reveals.
The latest celebrity pregnancy announcements
One standout update came from popular TikTok couple Gogo and Mo, who revealed their pregnancy in an adorable video, describing the news as an answered prayer.
Here is a look at the famous faces welcoming new additions, from Shekhinah’s private journey into motherhood to Kay Yarms’ viral maternity shoot.
Busiswe “Cici” Thwala
Singer-songwriter Cici is preparing to become a mother for the second time. She shared a photograph of herself beside a grand piano, wearing a flowing, layered white skirt with a cropped black T-shirt that offered a stylish glimpse of her bump.
In her message to Instagram followers, she wrote that the baby had been loved before their meeting, prayed for before they knew about the child and treasured beyond words.
Shekhinah
R&B artist Shekhinah stunned fans by revealing that she welcomed a baby girl three months earlier. She had kept both the pregnancy and the birth private until making the announcement.
In a series of beachside images, the singer cradled her stomach while standing in the water. Marking her daughter’s three-month milestone, Shekhinah said the photographs would remain as a lasting reminder of the wonder of pregnancy and the moment her life changed for the better. She added that, by God’s grace, her daughter was even more precious than the family could have imagined and wished their favourite girl a happy three months.
Kay Yarms
Beauty creator Khetokuthle Ngonyama, widely known as Kay Yarms, sent social media into a frenzy with her pregnancy news. Her Instagram maternity session carried a heartfelt message saying that, if anyone had asked what she truly wanted to become, motherhood would always have been her answer.
She later posted a video featuring ultrasound images and told her unborn child that they were already deeply loved and that the family could not wait for the baby’s arrival.
