The rumour mill is spinning at full speed as fans of Uthando Nes’thembu become increasingly convinced that Musa Mseleku and his fifth wife, Samke "MaKhwela," have expanded their family, when, during the latest episode on 13 May 2026, viewers pointed to what appeared to be a visible baby bump.

During a visit to see his new bride, Mseleku was treated to tea and a conversation with Samke to discuss their growing family as well as the tension within the polygamous household. It was then that viewers spotted the influencer's belly appearing fuller than usual.

While it's entirely natural for women who have previously carried a child to not immediately "bounce back" to their pre-pregnancy physique, fans are adamant that this is more than just a lingering "mom bod."

Social media detectives were quick to claim that what they saw on screen went beyond a normal post-pregnancy body, convinced that a second baby is either on the way or has already arrived in secret.

In early 2025, the couple welcomed their first child together, Methuli "Met," Musa's 11th child. The businessman and polygamist has never been shy about his desire to expand his family, famously stating his goal was to have 20 children.

Mseleku’s boldness was on full display during the same episode when he jokingly teased MaKhwela about no longer sharing her ovulation dates.

If the rumours are true, this addition would be Mseleku’s 12th child across his five wives. It would also be Samke’s second child with the reality star, further securing her spot in the family despite the ongoing public debate over her role in the household.

Watch the footage from the episode below.
