Ashley Ogle reveals why there are no videos and photos of her pregnant

On Tuesday, 24 February 2026, a TikTok user, swazelihlemtimande1, shared a screen recording of Ashley Ogle answering why she had not shared a pregnancy vlog.

In the video, Ashley, who had baby Kenzo-Lu sleeping on her right shoulder, shared that there is no video because she was embarrassed that she had fallen pregnant outside of marriage and hid her baby bump as a result.

“There is no journey vlog. I was not there in the middle, standing with pictures, posing in all different directions, to me it was like an embarrassment because you shouldn't be making children if you're not married publicly. So, I was like hiding from the shame, and that's how it should be,” Ashley said.

She suggested that she decided to publicly confirm that she had given birth because she had come to terms with it and asked God for forgiveness.

“Nevertheless, I've prayed for my sins now, and I know that God has forgiven me for what I've done. So yeah, moving on,” she said.
