South African actress Simphiwe Ngema and her boyfriend, Zimbabwean model and TV presenter Tino Chinyani, are expecting their second child together. The couple’s relationship has had its ups and downs, but their bond appears stronger than ever as they look forward to expanding their family.
Ngema took to Instagram on Friday to announce her pregnancy, sharing that her family is growing. This will be their second child after the birth of their son, Tiyani, in 2020. Reflecting on her first pregnancy, Ngema previously revealed in 2021 that it was a difficult journey that nearly claimed both her and her baby’s lives.
Following the tragic loss of her late husband, Dumisani Masilela, who was murdered in 2017, Ngema began dating Chinyani in 2019. Despite announcing their break-up in September 2021, the couple rekindled their romance in March 2023, much to the delight of their fans.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAaV57FoPI8/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
During their initial split, Ngema expressed gratitude for their time together, calling it one of her greatest experiences. She acknowledged that their love story had faced many challenges, but she learned to love and live again through it all. The couple committed to co-parenting their son, even during their separation.
In 2023, Chinyani sparked rumors of a reconciliation after posting several intimate photos of the two on social media. Ngema later confirmed their reunion, playfully joking about their relationship status. She also praised Chinyani, calling him her “Wumpalumpa” and thanking him for his unwavering support.
Their growing family has garnered warm wishes from fans, as the couple embraces this new chapter in their journey together.
