The Funny Chef, Steps into Motherhood with Heartfelt Pregnancy Announcement.
In a series of beautifully shot images, Tlokana proudly showed off her growing baby bump, dressed in a bold and stylish suit rather than a traditional maternity dress a reflection of the quirky, offbeat personality that has endeared her to audiences across the country. Alongside the photos, she shared a deeply emotional open letter to her unborn child, offering a glimpse into her inner world as she prepares to embrace motherhood for the first time.
“To my little human child, I chose a suit instead of a dress because mommy’s very different and eccentric… See, mommy’s always the odd one out and you’re going to love that about me,” she wrote.
With raw honesty and tenderness, she described the profound emotions that came with her pregnancy. “And you know what? I’m going to love you till I draw my last breath. I didn’t think I’d meet you this soon… I didn’t even think I’d meet you at all… yet here we are, my little one. Here we are.” Tlokana didn’t hold back as she revealed what this baby represents in her life a fresh start, a powerful emotional shift, and a new definition of purpose.
“You are the beginning of everything the beginning of unconditional love, unconditional happiness, and unconditional faith. You are my Genesis… the beginning of my existence. I love you.”
While fans have always known her as a vibrant entertainer with a flair for comedy and cooking, they’ve rarely seen this vulnerable, deeply personal side of her. Over the years, Tlokana has built a dedicated fanbase through her authentic, relatable humor and her viral food videos that blend wit with genuine skill in the kitchen. Whether she’s cracking jokes or serving up traditional dishes with a modern twist, her ability to connect with people through real-life storytelling has made her one of South Africa’s most beloved digital personalities.
Still, she has remained fiercely private when it comes to her personal life making this announcement all the more surprising and special for her followers. Just a few months ago, in March 2025, Tlokana gave fans a rare peek into her offline world when she posted images from her lobola ceremony, a traditional step in the path to marriage. At the time, fans speculated that big changes were coming but few expected this.
And the response has been overwhelming. Within minutes of posting her pregnancy announcement, her comment section lit up with love, support, and congratulatory messages from fans, friends, and fellow celebrities alike. Her fans echoed those sentiments, celebrating the news as if it were their own. Many expressed how inspiring it was to see a woman so full of humor, strength, and originality embracing motherhood on her own terms.
Tlokana’s pregnancy announcement is more than just a celebrity update it’s a moment of connection, reflection, and joy. She’s not only becoming a mother, but also continuing to evolve as a storyteller, now bringing her audience along on one of the most intimate journeys of her life.
As she enters this new chapter, Lebogang Tlokana remains exactly who fans fell in love with: unfiltered, fearless, and full of heart. And now, she adds one more title to her growing list Mom.
