@FranklyTru asked:

“Did the guy not have a better jacket mara?”

@Thabang94527261 argued:

“Most absent fathers should take notes; parenting is priceless to a child's life. We have so many children growing up without fathers in this country, we should take notes. Buying expensive clothes alone and being absent emotionally and physically isn't parenting.”

“Beautiful 😍 Positive co-parenting is called maturity. Good for the child and everyone in the family.”

“Sometimes you gotta decrease so that your child may increase. There was no need for Pearl to dress up. Walter dressed like that on purpose.”

@StraightupGal replied:

“How beautiful of two people to come together for their child on her special night 😍😍Love this for Thando. She looks amazing.”
