It's been a baby boom in celebville. 

Four months after unveiling her pregnancy bump, Tamia and Andile Mpisane welcomed their second child together. 

The couple announced the arrival of their second child in a joint post on Instagram a year after welcoming their daughter Miaandy. They shared a sweet family video.

In the post they revealed Messiah Shauwn Junior Mpisane made a surprise arrival on September 20, explaining the meaning behind her names.

“This little one has filled our hearts with an overwhelming sense of love and happiness, reminding us of the miracles and blessing from the Messiah,” read the statement.

“The name 'Messiah' holds a profound meaning, resonating deeply with the hopes and dreams we have for our remarkable daughter. In its essence, Messiah represents a chosen one, a saviour or a deliverer. We have given this name to our beautiful daughter as she entered this world with a purpose: To radiate light, love and compassion to all those she encounters.

“She is also named after her incredible grandmother Shauwn, encapsulating qualities that we admire and wish to pass on to our little one. Shauwn is a symbol of resilience, drive and determination. With this name we honour the strength and unwavering spirit that runs through generations in our family.”
