"Naturally, there's that added element in the home. What we knew as our dynamic has changed and adjusting to it is tricky. Having a newborn, you live in three-hour gaps that she sleeps in, in the 24 hours.
"It's evident, the lack of sleep, the business, helping each other, relieving each other. At the foundation of it, we still got it. I'm learning more about Lesego and how amazing of a mother she is, she's an amazing mom."
Speaking to Briefly News, Bonko says fatherhood helped sharpen his focus:
"Being a father has made me much more focused and really humbled me. It has also made me realise my priorities which are family, God, and doing good work. 2023 has been such a blessing in every way."
Moreover, Lesego told The Makhs that she has had to adjust to Bonko's work schedule:
"In the first week of bringing the baby home, he had to be away for work, and I was alone at night because not everyone could wake up to help. Everything the baby did, I would text him.
"We have telepathic senses where if I see that he's struggling, I'm the first to say, 'Let me help,' and vice versa. We're always there to help each other most of the time. Now that he has a hectic shooting schedule, I have the baby. I believe God has given me time to take care of the baby while he [Bonko] takes care of our finances."
Bonko told Briefly News that he has several films in the works for 2024, including The Drop, slated to premiere at the top of the year:
"I’m still under NDA for most of the projects, but the people can expect 5 new projects from me in 2024."
