Former Miss South Africa Natasha Vermaak (neé Joubert) and her husband Enrico Vermaak are on cloud nine after revealing the gender of their first baby.

The happy news came out on Monday, confirming that the couple is expecting a baby girl!

Natasha, 28, shared the special moment with her followers on Instagram.

The couple had a beautiful garden picnic for the classic "cake gender reveal," where the colour of the cake's inner filling reveals the baby's sex.

The suspense was palpable as they cut into the cake. While the filling was a very pale pink, which clearly signalled a girl, it was so faint that even Enrico commented he couldn't quite make out the colour.

Natasha, who confessed that she thought it would be a boy, was nonetheless absolutely thrilled with the reveal.

The sweet post was simply captioned: "Baba Vermaak is a..." and shows the couple's pure delight.

Just a week ago, the former beauty queen surprised fans with the amazing news that she was already five months pregnant.

In a lovely Instagram post, she wrote: "The last 5 months... We've been keeping the sweetest secret."

Following up on that announcement, Natasha shared an incredibly emotional and personal video over the past weekend.

It was a raw, unedited look at the moment she found out she was pregnant.

She detailed their journey, explaining how they had been meticulously planning to have a baby.

The clip offered a heartfelt glimpse into her emotional response to the news and their dedicated path to conceiving.

“I know the planning to the T is not for everyone, but I would have subconsciously thought about it every month,” she wrote.

“I knew after we got married I wanted to start our family. You never know how long it might take and anyone who knows me personally knows if I plan for something, your gal goes all in.”

The baby news is the latest milestone for the couple, who tied the knot in March of this year.
