South African actress Sivenathi Mabuya, best known for her role in How to Ruin Love, has become a mom! The actress shared the exciting news with her fans by posting a collection of beautiful moments from September 2025.
Sive gave her followers a glimpse into her journey, showing photos of her baby bump, time spent with loved ones, baby clothes, and even a thoughtful baby hamper with a card that read “Congratulations.” But the most heartwarming picture of all was a tiny baby hand wrapped around her finger — a moment that touched many of her fans. From the baby boy clothes in her posts, it seems the actress has welcomed a little boy.
In her caption, Sive reflected on the life-changing month, writing: “September 2025… the toughest and most rewarding month of my life.” She added a blue heart to mark the special memory.
The star received an outpouring of love and congratulatory messages from friends and fellow celebrities. Actress Natasha Thahane wrote: “Congratulations mommy.” Actress Zazi Kunene also celebrated with her, saying: “Congratulations love! Wishing you an abundance of joy and love.”
This new chapter for Sive comes after she first revealed her pregnancy in June 2025. At the time, she announced the exciting news with a sweet social media post showing off her baby bump. She captioned it: “Bump’s out the bag … thank you for your kindness. We couldn’t be happier.”
Her pregnancy news followed closely after another special milestone in her personal life. Just a month earlier, in May, she and her husband Aphiwe Bukani celebrated their third wedding anniversary. Marking the occasion, Sive shared a touching tribute on Instagram:
“17 years your pursuit 5 years your girl 3 years your wife And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Happy anniversary baba, I love you @apiwebukani.”
The couple tied the knot in 2022 during a traditional wedding ceremony in the Eastern Cape, but their love story began long before then. Even before the wedding, Sive proudly shared their lobola negotiations with her fans. Fans couldn’t be happier for the actress as she embraces motherhood.
