DJ ZINHLE’S BIG PREGNANCY REVEAL – AND OTHER LOCAL CELEBS WHO CAME CLOSE
WE’VE heard the rumours and had glimpses of an expanding bump but never did we imagine DJ Zinhle would take us by surprise by announcing her baby news with a teaser clip for her new reality show to premiere on BET Africa later this month.
Taking to social media, Zinhle shared a promo video for Unexpected.
Not giving much away, the Indlovu hitmaker teased fans with what to expect, but many of us were blown away with the final scene showing her gently rubbing what appears to be a baby bump.
It was definitely unexpected. Many local celebrity mamas who announced their pregnancies have pulled out all the stops, but Zinhle’s pregnancy reveal is probably the most spectacular we’ve witnessed so far. Coming completely out of left field, the notoriously private celeb decided to share her big news on her terms.
Below is a list of local celebrities who came close to Zinhle’s pregnancy reveal in the past year. Gabisile Tshabalala
