Pearl Modiadie had social media gushing after she marked her son Lewatle's sixth birthday with a touching pair of photos. The former Law, Love & Betrayal actress shared the post on Instagram on 19 September, pouring out her heart in the caption.
"6 years of loving you and what a privilege it has been. Happy birthday, my boy. I love you more than you'll ever know."
The post paired a recent photo of Pearl and Lewatle holding hands beside a balloon arrangement and a number 6 balloon, alongside a black-and-white throwback selfie of Pearl beaming at the camera while cradling him as a newborn.
Lewatle's father is Nathaniel Oppenheimer, a French businessman, and the two parted ways shortly after their son was born. Pearl later found love with Jordan Cohen, and the couple got engaged in 2024, but the relationship quietly came to an end at the start of 2025, with Pearl eventually removing their photos from her social media pages.

Celebrities and fans gush over Pearl and Lewatle
The warm tribute drew responses from some well-known faces in South African entertainment.
Media personality Ntando Duma wrote:
"Happy birthday to Lewatle. He's so grown, well done, mama."
Veteran actress Dawn Thandeka King added:
"Happy birthday to your beautiful boy, Mommy."
vuyisile_mdini chimed in:
"Time flies! He's so tall. Happy birthday, Lewatle."
Not everyone kept things straightforward, though. Some users on X could not resist pointing to the Oppenheimer surname and what it might mean for Lewatle's future, even as it remains unclear whether Nathaniel has any direct connection to the prominent Anglo-South African family.
I_am____HIM said:
"That's an Oppenheimer baby. Sis is raising a generational heir in real time. That baby was born with a clearer credit score than the country itself."
_simplyenny added:
"Is Oliver the Oppenheimer kid? He was born into generational wealth. Pearl did her child a solid on this one."
