The sportscaster announced on 26 January that she and her husband Sibusiso Nxumalo, are expecting their first bundle of joy together. In a photo she shared from her pregnancy photoshoot, she is cradling her growing belly.

She captioned the picture "The best gift we've ever received." She also shared another snap of her husband kissing her baby bump.

The soon-to-be mom has revealed how she discovered that she was pregnant. She said she kept her pregnancy a secret at first and did not inform her husband.

"I discovered I was pregnant a month before my husband’s birthday, I kept it a secret and planned to tell him in a few weeks. however, that proved to be a challenge, as my symptoms were noticeable. I was experiencing a lot of fatigue, high body temperature, heightened sense of smell amongst other things. I couldn’t hide it any longer. So I eventually broke the news two weeks earlier. His reaction was priceless ( Obviously, I documented that moment+).

Lindiwe praised her husband for being hands-on during her pregnancy. He was available for her gynecological appointments and showed her love when she felt she did not look good due to drastic body changes.

"We attended every Gynae appointment together (Someone is probably thinking, he’s your husband, he’s supposed to. But the truth is everyone’s journey is different, it could be work keeping him away or other factors such as lockdown).

"He made sure I took all my vitamins, If baby and I wanted a pie first thing in the morning he would get us exactly that.

"Pregnancy is beautiful yet demanding emotionally, mentally and physically. As someone who was a size 28/30 before, learning to embrace all the changes that come with it, including stretch marks, skin tags and weight gain takes time. My husband constantly reassured me that I looked good, even when I didn’t feel pretty," she wrote.

The expectant mom paid tribute to her husband for being the best father.

"He always kept a cushion in the car for me every time we went out. I could harp on and on about how precious it’s been watching him throughout this journey, I honestly don’t know how I would’ve done this without him by my side. The world’s best husband and father. Ngiyabonga Zwide Ka Langa.
We love you so much."

The couple tied the knot in an elegant white wedding ceremony on 10 March 2022. Lindiwe revealed that they were also celebrating their one-year anniversary.

Sibusiso popped the question at Nambithi Hills in KZN in October 2021, while the two were on vacation.

Taking to Instagram to break the news, Lindiwe said her man had kept every promise since day one. "Locked in for life. Thank you for choosing and loving me the way you do, I’m incredibly excited for our next chapter. God’s timing is always perfect and he truly blessed me with the best! To reciprocated, gentle and soft love. I love you, always and forever," she wrote.
