Mbalenhle Mavimbela is a South African actress who currently plays the role of MaHlomu Dladla in Showmax’s popular telenovela The Wife. MaHlomu is a journalist who falls head over heels with a taxi driver Mqhele. The telenovela is an inspiration from Dudu Busani-Dube’s best selling book Hlomu series.

On the current storyline of the series, Hlomu cheated on her husband Mqhele with his brother, and is now pregnant. While she’s adamant that the baby is Mqhele’s, the baby could well be Qhawe’s. Her pregnancy bump is already showing on screen.

Fans are now wondering if the actress is also pregnant in real life, after she shared pictures on social media where they noticed a pregnancy bump. Could it be that the picture is for filming or the dress she’s wearing is the one making her look pregnant. It could also be that Mbalenhle is just gaining weight and glowing. In one of the pictures she posted, she’s with Kwenzo Ngcobo who plays the role of Qhawe in the telenovela, so maybe the pictures are for filming.

Check out what fans had to say on the comments.

“Is this for filming or are you pregnant also in real life?”
