Nomcebo Zikode's family just got bigger!
The Grammy Award-winning Jerusalema vocalist has just given birth to a healthy baby boy and is putting her efforts into focusing on her newborn and spending time with her two older children and husband.
'I am so happy. It's as if this is my first child whatsoever, my first baby,' Nomcebo gushes to TRUELOVE.
Many are familiar with Nomcebo folk hits and soulful vocals that have since resonated with South Africa and the world at large, earning her a Grammy Award in 2023 for her vocals on Zakes Bantwini and Wouter Kellerman's Bayethe.
But she is intentional about protecting her and her family's peace through the highs and lows of being in the spotlight.
She takes us through how she prioritises her selfcare.
'I am a praying woman, I pray a lot. Not really a lot, but I do take God very seriously. I know that in everything, I need to put God first. And also I do go to the gym because I understand that exercising will help me with so many things, like health-wise, also, with my mind.'

On how she chooses to spend time with her family, Nomcebo tells us, 'I always try by all means to have time with my family, even though sometimes I'm just forced to be outside the country for the longest time, but whenever I'm at home, I'll try by all means to maybe cook for them.
'Even though we do go out but I think it's more beautiful when maybe I'm together with them in the kitchen, I'm cooking for them.'
The iZono Zami hitmaker is focused on her growing family, especially after dealing with a trying few months in the spotlight with the highly publicised court case against Open Mic Productions for unpaid royalties for her contributions to Jerusalema.
Through it all, Nomcebo is intentional about putting her family first and protecting hers and their peace.

Nomcebo shares, 'Now that I'm in the industry, I've noticed that sometimes you put things out there because you are trying to be genuine. But sometimes people will use that against you one day. So, I don't know whether I should say I'm private about it because it's not like I have a problem for people to know I've got a little one now.
'But also the way I see social media ... sometimes you put something out there thinking that you are doing the right thing and there's nothing to hide, you are pregnant or whatsoever. But sometimes silly people will just use that against you. So, I don't know whether I should say I'm keeping it private or what, but I just chose that, let me just keep it for myself, this is for me.'
The 39-year-old singer still has plans to release new music, 'Even though there's some few things that I need to sort out,' Nomcebo reveals.
While Nomcebo is keeping her cards close to her chest when it comes to future collaborations, she promises soulful tunes 'from the heart'.

Priyanka Chopra Admits Daughter Malti 'Gets Away with Anything with Me' After Spending More than 100 Days in the NICU

After she was born, Malti spent 110 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), which may have something to do with Chopra Jonas' willingness to give her daughter whatever she wants, the actress explained to Kelce. "She really fought and clawed her way into life. And I have so much admiration for her," Chopra Jonas said. "So she gets away with anything with me, honestly. I'm just like, 'Yes, take it. It's yours.'" Chopra Jonas added, "She comes into my closet, she goes to the magic closet. She'll wear my shoes, walk out. She'll take my bag, walk out." The Quantico star has recently been relishing in precious family moments. In May, she and Jonas attended the 2025 Met Gala — a huge night for fashion, of course, but also a larger-than-life prospect for Malti. Chopra Jonas recalled her daughter saying, "Mama and Dada are going to a ball!" Another night, her family was out for a fancy dinner.
