Oti Mabuse, the talented dancer and star of Strictly Come Dancing, recently shared an incredibly heartwarming moment with her sister Motsi as she revealed her pregnancy. Oti, 33, and her husband Marius Iepure, announced on Saturday that they are expecting their first child after struggling with conception for some time.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Oti posted a montage of clips showcasing the reactions of her friends and family to the exciting news. In the video, Motsi can barely contain her excitement, while another sibling, Phemelo, breaks down in tears of joy. Oti explains in the caption that she and Marius kept their pregnancy under wraps for many months, as the first two trimesters can be quite challenging.
Living far away from their family as a couple, Oti and Marius didn’t have the opportunity to share their news face to face. However, they are incredibly grateful for their close-knit group of friends who became their chosen family. Oti emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with positive energy, laughter, and joy during the challenging early stages of pregnancy. She expresses her gratitude for her tight circle of friends and their unwavering support.
Oti also took to her Instagram Stories to reveal that she and Marius had actually stopped actively trying for a baby when she fell pregnant. In a clip shared with her friend Nkateko Dinwiddy, Oti proudly shows off her growing bump and explains that they had decided to take a break from the pressure of trying to conceive. It was during this time that they received the wonderful news that a baby was on the way.
The news of Oti’s pregnancy was initially shared live on her TV show, Oti Mabuse’s Breakfast Show. After teasing some exciting news, Oti and Marius joyfully announced that they are expecting a baby. The crew erupted in cheers and Oti’s fellow hosts, Marisha and Chizzy, were pleasantly surprised by the revelation. Oti later took to Instagram to share more intimate photos of herself cradling her baby bump alongside Marius. She reveals that their “yes” year is getting better and they are excited to embark on this new journey as a family of three.
The announcement garnered a flood of congratulations from Oti’s famous friends and well-wishers. Oti and Marius met in Germany during a dance trial and have competed together in numerous competitions. They got engaged in 2014 and tied the knot that same year. Oti recently decided to step away from Strictly Come Dancing after a successful seven-year run on the show. She is now exploring other television opportunities, including her role as a judge on ITV’s The Masked Dancer and Dancing On Ice.
