Ayanda Matsimbe, formerly known as Ayanda Thabethe, has sent her followers into celebration mode after confirming she is pregnant with her third child - and a baby girl is on the way.

The media personality and MBA graduate took to Instagram on Monday, 21 September 2026, to share a series of stunning maternity shoot photos. In the images, Matsimbe posed on a sofa, confidently showing off her full, rounded belly. A table in other shots featured a white cake, and in one sweet moment, she and a man presumed to be her husband sliced through it together with wine glasses to reveal a pink centre, giving away the baby's gender in the most stylish way possible.

Additional photos from the shoot were displayed in polaroids arranged artfully on the table, accompanied by a pair of white pumps and what appeared to be sonogram prints. It was a carefully curated set-up that struck the right balance between personal and breathtaking.
