Seasoned radio and TV host Unathi Nkayi has, for the first time in 18 years, shared a photograph of her son without hiding his face.
The former Kaya959 presenter posted a series of photos with her son, Sinako and his father, radio veteran Thomas “Bad Boy T” Msengana.
While she paid a sweet tribute to her son, who turned 18 over the weekend, Nkayi also thanked Msengana for being a good parent to him.
“Nako Wam … Sitting here in front of me I can’t believe you’re 18,” expressed Nkayi.
“Daddy and I did it. You’re happy. Beautiful. And ours. I love you up to God Nako.”
The Eastern Cape-born star opened up about her “four days in labour” also revealing that they “almost lost” their son but “God namanyange (and the ancestors) said ANEVA ngesizukulo sethu (not with ur grandson).”
“The Festive Get-Together in The Life Artois” host shared a cute conversation between her and her Sinako about no longer hiding his face on social media.
“Moms I’m 18 now. You don’t have to protect me anymore. I can protect myself. You don’t have to hide my face anymore,” shared Nkayi.
She said: “Thank you for making me grow up and have a purpose. Thank you for being who you are to Mboshla. Thank you for being a true testimony to Daddy’s and I’s love.”
The former power couple shocked fans when they announced their divorce in 2017 after eight years of marriage.
The duo share two children, 18-year-old Sinako and 11 daughter, Imboyothando.
In a previous interview on “Behind the Story” Nkayi told host, Pearl Thusi that she and Msengane remained friends after the divorce but they eventually grew apart.
In her 2019 tell-all-memoir “I Keep Learning”, Nkayi detailed how they were first friends before they become lovers.
“I found him beautiful. Inside and out. Pour me some cold water-water sugar he was beautiful. I loved his skin deeply. It was brown like it had been dipped in chocolate mousse. His eyes could penetrate deep into people, not at people,” Nkayi said.
