Congratulations are in order for Mr and Mrs Mokoka, Jesse Suntele and Thuthu Maqhosha, who got married at the weekend.
JESSE SUNTELE AND THUTHU MAQHOSHA’S WEDDING
Besides being an actor, Jesse is also a rapper – whom many know as J Flo on Kelly Khumalo’s song titled Jehova. On the other hand, Thuthu owns a media agency called T-squared Productions and is home to artists such as Sjava, Mörda, Anele Zondo, Ms Cosmo, Jazziq and others.
The celebrity couple have been sharing pictures and video clips from their traditional wedding.
The former The Queen actor and his wife had a black and white-themed wedding attended by their family and close friends. Comedian and sangoma Mongezi “Tol Ass Mo” Mahlangu was the MC
Jesse and Thuthu’s big day comes less than a month after they welcomed their baby boy, Emihle Enzo Rapelang Mokoka.
In a lengthy post on Instagram, Thuthu shared images from their baby shower as she looked back at their pregnancy journey and the pain of losing one of their twins.
“Glory be to God and our ancestors. We found out so late that we are pregnant. A bitter sweet moment when we were told it was twins and only one survived. I had such mixed emotions, do I mourn or celebrate? Also why?” she wrote.
The artist manager said that Jesse — who also has a role on Netflix’s Savage Beauty – was supportive through it all. The couple had lost their first baby in 2020.
“My husband made me realise there was more to celebrate, we are parents to two angels and one beautiful baby boy. He further helped me embrace the journey and convinced me to do a shoot and have a baby shower. All I’ve ever wanted is to be pregnant and have seven babies, and when we lost Pandora in 2020 the thought of trying again was the most scariest thing.
“Falling pregnant seemed so far-fetched but God and our ancestors knew the perfect time and when it arrived they blessed us because he alone is God. Thank you to our friends anpd family for the love and endless support. Thank you to our three beautiful babies for choosing us. Baby Baba is healthy and beautiful. Guys he has a dimple. Those who know me know my obsession. Now here is to being Mr and Mrs Mokoka [sic].”
JESSE OPENS UP ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP
During their viral episode on YouTube podcast show, Defining Love, Jesse revealed that he had spotted Thuthu at the gym before making his move. He then started communicating with her via DMs on social media
“I’ve learnt two things about this relationship over the past three years. One, if your relationships don’t have challenges, you’re in trouble.
“The second thing I’ve learnt through her is that I don’t think I knew, in all my past relationships, what love really was. And this is no offence to all my exes or anything like that, but this is it.”
