The pregnancy announcement marks a significant new chapter for Cohen, whose split from radio and television personality Pearl Modiadie had been widely discussed in South African entertainment circles.

Pearl Modiadie and Jordan Cohen's road to the split
Cohen and Modiadie's relationship had attracted considerable public attention, particularly after their engagement became known.
When the two parted ways, Modiadie, who had been seen flaunting her massive engagement ring, did not make a spectacle of the breakup, and Cohen similarly kept things low-key before introducing Taty to his social media following in the months that followed.
For Modiadie, the end of this relationship was not her first experience of a broken engagement. She was previously engaged to businessman Nkululeko Buthelezi back in 2015, calling off that planned wedding before the couple went their separate ways.

Pearl Modiadie's focus since the split
Since parting from Cohen, Modiadie has kept her romantic life firmly out of the public eye. She has channelled her energy into her career and into raising her son, Lewatle. Briefly News previously reported on her brief reunion with Lewatle's father, businessman Nathaniel Oppenheimer, when the two came together to celebrate their son's sixth birthday.
Despite staying quiet on matters of the heart, Pearl has found herself back in the spotlight as her ex moves into this exciting new phase of his life, with many fans and followers taking to social media to make her a talking point in the conversation surrounding Cohen and Taty's baby news.
