Media personality Denise Zimba and her hubby Jakob Schlichtig have welcomed a new addition to their family, baby Mila.

Taking to her Instagram timeline on Sunday, Denise surprised her friends and followers by sharing a clip about her pregnancy journey. 

Not only did her followers have a sneak peek from the video montage, but they got to see some of her friends’ reactions as she showed them her baby for the first time.

Denise shared the news with actors Charmaine Mtinta, Thando Thabethe and Nicholas Nkuna. 

“Tired. Overwhelmed. Changed. Isolated. But most importantly ... in love and grateful. Hi Mila,” Denise wrote. 

Denise is fiercely protective of that part of her life because she surprised many when she announced her pregnancy the first time in May of 2019.

She also opened up about how doctors previously told her she had a 1% chance of falling pregnant.

My doctor said I had endometriosis. Urgent treatment was needed, which meant falling pregnant was indefinitely placed on the back burner. Only 1% possibility to conceive, even after treatment for some time.”

At the time Denise described her bundle of joy as a miracle. 

By Denise Zimba's side was always her hubby whom she married in 2022. 

The dream wedding took place on April 9 at picturesque Blaauwklippen, one of the oldest wine farms in Stellenbosch.

Taking to social media on her big day, the bride posted an image of the venue and said: “Today is my wedding day. It’s finally here. I have been seeing a flood of my family and friends coming in from around the world and I can’t express  how excited I am. I’m so grateful. A big thank you to everyone.”

Denise announced her engagement to Jakob in 2019 and shortly after gave birth to their first child, the cutest bundle of joy named Leah Lilli-Rose Schlichtig.
