PROUD PARENTS: Mom Babes Wodumo, Mampintsha and baby

Fans can finally stop speculating over whether Babes Wodumo is pregnant – the Gqom Queen is officially a mom!

The Wololo hitmaker took to Instagram to announce the birth along with pictures of her and husband Mampintsha’s baby on Youth Day.

The caption read: “Unkulunkulu emuhle njalo... our beautiful blessing is finally here, inhlanhla yethu.!! #spontshi usefikile.(sic)”.

Translated to English: “God is always good. Our beautiful blessing is finally here, our luck! The sponge has arrived.”

It is still unclear whether the star couple’s newborn is a boy or girl, but nonetheless they are beaming with joy.

In one picture, proud papa Mampintsha, 38, sits at Babes’ bedside looking at his baby.

In a short video clip, Babes, 26, is heard saying “Baba ka Sponshi” while she focuses the camera on Mampinsha’s shirt which has a picture of cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants along with the words “Baba ka Sponshi”.

The pair also recently tied the knot. Their wedding celebrations, however, remained sealed and were billed exclusively for a three-episode series on Showmax.

The trailer for Uthando Lodumo, which follows Babes and Mampintsha, dropped this week, giving a glimpse of the build-up to their traditional wedding.

In the trailer, Babes says: “We were madly in love. We then made hit song after hit song. And we made a lot of money as a result.”

Uthando Lodumo is being produced and directed by South African Film and Television Award (Safta) winner Thomas Gumede and Safta nominee Lungile Radu through their production company, Parental Advisory.

All three episodes of Uthando Lodumo will be available to watch on Showmax on June 30. Gqom Queen Mother reveals birth online.
