On the reality show, not only did she walk away with R2 million, but she walked away with the love of her life, Themba Karabo Mabaso. The pair tied the knot last year and are expecting their first child together. Mpho notes that it is not easy having a relationship in the spotlight, “having a relationship in the spotlight is not nice in my eyes. I remember I was reluctant about us coming out because I didn’t want the feeling of not having boundaries around us. I treasure what we have and knowing what I know now, I would have said lets protect it with all we have,” said the star.

They quickly became one of the most loved couples in Mzansi and we appreciate the parts of their relationship they choose to share with us.

Mpho shared a beautiful reel on her Instagram showcasing some behind-the-scenes of her shoot with us.

Her followers were excited and had this to say:

“Congratulations my baby girl ,you made us so proud. Underground love,” said @khoc_mbatha

“She doesn’t even look pregnant, she is sexy, it looks good on her,” said @lebogang5572

“My baby I’m crying ,I’m so happy and proud of you,” said @mkhizethandiwe
