How Vosloo prepared for baby Daniel's arrival

According to YOU's Angel Hoffman, the veteran actor spent the weeks leading up to the birth talking to his unborn son and playing him music by Westlife. Du Toit had also shared on Instagram that the two could barely contain their excitement, speaking endlessly about looking forward to watching their boy run around the house.

For Du Toit, becoming a mother has long been a personal dream. She credited Vosloo for making the journey easier from the very beginning.

"I can't imagine doing this without Arnold. From day one, he's just been there, supportive, patient and always ready to help. I feel incredibly lucky to have him by my side.”

She also had a playful message for her older partner, joking that being outnumbered at home would require some extra preparation on his end.

"Arnold just needs to do 20 squats, and he's good to go!" she quipped.
