South African singer and dancer Jelly Babie has ended months of speculation by officially confirming that she is pregnant. Born Karabo Khakhu, the Bacardi performer shared stunning maternity photographs on Instagram on Friday, 13 November 2026, giving fans their first proper look at her baby bump.
The confirmation had been a long time coming. Fans had been buzzing about a possible pregnancy after noticing her visibly changing figure during live performances, but Jelly Babie kept quiet on the matter until now.
A letter to her unborn child
Alongside the photoshoot images, Jelly Babie published a deeply personal letter addressed to her baby. In it, she opened up about the physical and emotional toll the pregnancy has taken on her, mentioning sleepless nights, nausea and moments of tears. Despite the challenges, she described already feeling a profound bond with the child she has yet to meet.

She wrote about how carrying her baby had reshaped her understanding of patience, strength and love, and made a promise to dedicate her life to protecting her little one. The letter painted a picture of a woman transformed by impending motherhood even before giving birth.
Pregnancy follows painful chapter
The announcement carries extra weight given what Jelly Babie shared with her followers earlier this year. In April 2026, during an Instagram question-and-answer session, she made troubling revelations about her marriage, describing what she alleged was an abusive relationship she endured at a young age.
She stated that while she had survived the experience, she worried she might never fully heal from it. To support her account, she posted photographs from a hospital visit, as well as images showing injuries on her legs.
She also alleged that her former partner manipulated her financially, claiming she handed over earnings from two years' worth of performances under the belief they were working towards a shared future together. Her posts at the time drew an outpouring of concern and sympathy from followers.
Father's identity kept private
While Jelly Babie has confirmed the pregnancy, she has chosen not to reveal the identity of the baby's father. She has also not shared her expected due date or whether she is expecting a boy or a girl, keeping those details close to her chest for now.
The maternity photoshoot represents a fresh chapter for the entertainer, one she is choosing to mark with joy and openness about the emotional journey ahead, even as she keeps certain aspects of her personal life private.
