Mandla & Lexi Are Expecting Their First Child
Mandla Hlatshwayo and Lexi Van became instant celebrities when they participated in the first season of Big Brother Mzansi. During their stay in the house, the pair caused controversy when they had sex in front of the cameras and even though many people thought that their relationship would not last, they are celebrating their 5 year anniversary.

Over the years, the couple has had their own reality TV show on Mzansi Magic and we got to see their love.

Taking to Instagram, Lexi shared a video of Mandla kissing what looks like a baby bump and fans started congratulating the couple. Take a look at the video below and tell us what you see:

In an interview with ZAlebs in 2016, we asked Lexi if she and Mandla were planning on having a baby and this is what she had to say: 

“Mandla and I are so career driven, if it happens it happens, but right now I just want to focus on my dreams. I know time is not on my side as I’m not getting any younger but I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens in the season, maybe in the near future but not now.”

Congratulations to the pair!
