Tshegofatso had previously addressed the swirling speculation head-on in a video, choosing to keep the news under wraps until the couple felt ready.

"Some of you guys are guessing, and we do not want to confirm anything as yet. Until then, it is still a surprise. When the time is right, we will let you know," she said.

Nkululeko Mahlangu appeared on the South African reality series, which follows singles who agree to marry a stranger chosen by relationship experts. The show has built a dedicated local fanbase, and his relationship with Tshegofatso has been one of its more closely watched love stories since the season aired.

The pregnancy announcement marks a significant milestone for the newlyweds, coming so quickly after formalising their union, and signals that their post-show journey together is off to a meaningful start.
