Ayanda Thabethe throws a Baby Shark birthday bash for son’s 2nd birthday

South African media personality Ayanda Thabethe recently marked a significant milestone in her family’s life — the second birthday of her son, Enzo.

The occasion was celebrated with a lavish Baby Shark-themed party at their home, featuring vibrant decorations, balloons, and a bouncy house, creating a joyful atmosphere for the children.

In a touching tribute shared on Instagram, Ayanda expressed her deep love and gratitude, writing “My life. My joy. My everything. I thank the Lord that I get to call you mine. You are an answer to my deepest longing and the manifestation of my most sincere prayers. I get to call you my son, look what God can do!”

She continued, “I declare that you will become everything that he fashioned you to be long before you were formed in my womb. Nothing shall by any means harm you. I will always out-love you in every season, there’s nothing you can ever do to escape my love.

You have already been so brave in these two years. I know you will conquer anything. Thank you for loving your mommy with all your might. I needed your love so much. My true mommy’s boy. My forever. Happy second birthday my dearest Enzo.”

In June 2025, she officially tied the knot with her longtime partner, businessman Peter Matsimbe, in a beautiful ceremony. Earlier in May, she proudly completed her Master of Business Administration (MBA) after nearly four years of dedication and hard work.
