The world of South African glamour is buzzing with joyous news as former Miss South Africa, Ntandoyenkosi Kunene, has revealed she is expecting a baby. The beloved beauty queen shared the heartwarming announcement with her followers, marking a beautiful new season in her life away from the public eye.
While the identity of Kunene’s new partner remains a closely guarded secret, reports confirm that the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony earlier this year. The pregnancy announcement came via a stunning maternity photoshoot, where the radiant mother-to-be looked every bit the glowing star. Captioning the intimate images, Kunene penned a poignant message that spoke to this new chapter.
She wrote, “To a season that was, and a blessing now in our arms.” This carefully chosen phrase hints at a reflective journey towards this moment of immense happiness, a sentiment that has been warmly celebrated by her fans and followers across the nation.

Moving Forward From A High-Profile Past
Kunene was previously married to gospel artist and former Idols winner, Khaya Mthethwa. Their union, which also produced a child, ended in divorce back in 2019. Since then, Kunene has deliberately chosen to keep her personal life away from the spotlight, sharing only curated milestones with the public. This discretion makes her current announcement of both a marriage and a pregnancy all the more significant, indicating a deeply personal and cherished new beginning.
A Tale Of Two Celebrity Unions
The news of Kunene’s expanding family comes hot on the heels of her ex-husband’s own recent nuptials. Mthethwa married Sine Ndlovu in a lavish celebration that included a traditional ceremony and a white wedding. Ndlovu herself shared touching sentiments from their special day, expressing her profound joy and gratitude.

She further cemented their commitment by adding,
“So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
This parallel unfolding of two happy chapters for the former couple has captivated the public, with many offering their congratulations to both Kunene and Mthethwa as they embark on their separate paths to marital and parental bliss.
