Emo Adams and wife Michelle Gildenhuys have welcomed a fourth child into the world.
An excited Michelle broke the news on Instagram yesterday, after son Khai Jamal Adams, was born on 28 May.
Michelle posted two pictures - one of her holding Khai wrapped in a blanket on her chest. And another of her TV star hubby praying as he overlooks his son’s hospital crib.
Khai weighed in at 3.4kg.
A clearly relieved Michelle shared: “And then there were Four. This pregnancy has been different from the rest.
“I had nausea and vomiting up until the day before and experienced loads more discomfort. I should have guessed that delivery would be different than my previous two that mirrored each other perfectly. “

This is the couple’s third biological son. They also have an adopted eldest son, called James, 8, and then Kader Zayn, 3, and Ziah Malik, 2.
Michelle wrote: “I entered the doors of the hospital at 8pm on Monday evening to prepare for my induction the following day. I will be honest, a night to rest seemed pretty exciting.
“Daddy would stay with me till I’m settled then home to the boys for the night. Once settled hubby left and I was ready to get some much-needed shut-eye, the big day would be tomorrow.
“By 5am I was moved to a bigger delivery room to prepare for the delivery, dad arrived just in time, he has always been an incredible delivery partner and I couldn’t be more grateful he was with me when they started the epidural.”
Emo, who is on “paternity leave” was not available for comment, but oupa of six, Omar Adams, 74, said: “I’m a proud and blessed grandpa. Our wish is that he grows up to be an obedient child seeing that he’s born in the holy month of Ramadaan.
