Cape Town — South African media personality Denise Zimba had much to celebrate when she and her husband Jakob Schlichtig welcomed their baby Mila into the world.
Denise took to her Instagram timeline and posted a video of her pregnancy journey. She had managed to keep her pregnancy quiet and surprised her fans and followers by announcing the birth of her new baby girl.
In the video, Denise phoned Charmaine Mtinta, Thando Thabethe and Nicholas Nkuna and gave them a big surprise when she showed Mila off to them.
“Tired. Overwhelmed. Changed. Isolated. But most importantly… In Love and Grateful. Hi Mila”

According to TimesLIVE, 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.
Denise received a ton of messages of congratulations as fans took to the comments section and wished her and Jakob well.
“Hello Beautiful Mila. Congratulations to you and your family mama, so beautiful ❤️,” @bontle.modiselle wrote.
“Beautiful!! Congratulations to you and your growing family Denise!!! 😍❤️ So heartwarming!” @pearlmodiadie said.
“She’s beautiful! Congratulations on the new addition to the family. May she bring you nothing but joy! 💖🎀,” @melzinbala commented.
