Katlego Maboe and Monique Muller
Katlego Maboe girlfriend is Monique Muller, who he has been in a relationship with for a while now. Monique Muller and Katlego Maboe baby is a son named Phoenix Maboe. He was born back in July 2018.
Some people on the internet did not react positively to the news when it was first announced, but Monique gracefully responded by saying the following:
I am happy for my man and he is great at what he does, and it so happens to put him in this position for people to think they have a say. I for one did not want this to be public at all, which is increasingly the reason seeing this is so frustrating. But we were advised to do so, so media couldn’t put their own spin on it. I am quite irrelevant so then please refrain from commenting on my (this irrelevant person's) pregnancy.
We wish the happy couple all the best in their journey together.
