Fezile Makhanya is excited to be a new dad. The actor surprised his followers with the baby news on Wednesday.

“*sigh* Sjoe!! Ja ne…Where do I even start? I’m filled with so many emotions, but I can’t put them into words,” he captioned a picture of himself holding the newborn’s hand.

Fezile says meeting his baby for the first time has changed the way he looks at life.

“Feelings of joy, excitement, pride & anxiety are an understatement. I’m still in disbelief that you’ve made me uBaba.”

The ‘Uzalo’ star adds that there is a lot that he wants to teach his child. He says he can’t thank God enough for making him a parent.

“What matters is that you’re here now, in my arms, in our arms. I want you to know that uBaba has your back & I will be forever present in your life. There’s a lot that I want to teach you, and a lot that I’d like to learn from you too. Most importantly, know that uBaba loves you VERY VERY much!!”

Fezile Makhanya and his wife

Fezile has been happily married to Nondyebo Dzingwa for several years. He has chosen to keep his relationship private and rarely shares pictures of Nondyebo.

The couple did not reveal that they were expecting a baby. Fezile has credited his wife with helping him get his life back on track.

“She took the broken pieces of my life and build herself the man of her dreams. Happy anniversary, Mrs Makhanya,” he wrote on their wedding anniversary in 2018.

Fezile revealed why he likes to keep his personal life private in an interview with ‘Expresso‘.

“… the only thing I want as mine and mine alone, is the relationship that I have with my partner…luckily for me she’s not a public person, she’s a corporate, nine-to-five,” he said.

Fezile says that his wife also prefers to stay out of the limelight.

“On our first date, one of her first questions was like, ‘So listen, I Googled you and you’re famous, what do you do?…I don’t think I can actually do this”, and I’m like, “Please can we try this again, can we go on like a second date”. I think it’s very important for us, public figures, to value our privacy.”
