SNAPS | Jesse Suntele and his partner announce the arrival of their bundle of joy

Days after revealing the gender of their bundle of joy, Jesse Suntele and his partner, events and artist manager Thuthu Maqhosha, announced their baby boy’s arrival. 

Taking to her timeline on Tuesday, Thuthu reflected on their journey to starting a family and how they lost some along the way.

Thuthu gushed over the beauty of their newborn baby and thanked her partner for being supportive throughout the journey. 

"Glory be to God and our ancestors. We found out so late that we are pregnant. A bitter sweet moment when we were told it was twins and only one survived. I had such mixed emotions, do I mourn or celebrate? Also why?" she wrote.

"My husband made me realise there was more to celebrate, we are parents to two angels and one beautiful baby boy. He further helped me embrace the journey and convinced me to do a shoot and have a baby shower. All I've ever wanted is to be pregnant and have seven babies, and when we lost Pandora in 2020 the thought of trying again was the most scariest thing.

"Falling pregnant seemed so far-fetched but God and our ancestors knew the perfect time and when it arrived they blessed us because he alone is God. Thank you to our friends and family for the love and endless support. Thank you to our three beautiful babies for choosing us. Baby Baba is healthy and beautiful. Guys he has a dimple. Those who know me know my obsession. Now here is to being Mr and Mrs Mokoka"

It's an exciting time for the couple as they enter parenthood. 

“We found out we were pregnant, [then] we found out we lost the twin. It was twins and we lost one. When we went for a check-up, as I was not well, we found out we are pregnant with twins but one did not make it,” Thuthu told TshisaLIVE in January.

“We're excited to meet our baby. Seeing what he/she will take from us and watching him/her grow into his/her own person. We are so excited. We look forward to the sleepless nights."
