South African DJ and producer Oscar Mbo, whose real name is Oscar Mbongeni Ndlovu, has just become a father. The 34-year-old artist and his longtime girlfriend, Lerato Phasha, have welcomed a new bundle of joy—and fans are celebrating alongside them.
Taking to Instagram on May 28, the “Vuka” hitmaker surprised his followers with a heartfelt post announcing the birth of their baby. The carousel included stunning images from their intimate pregnancy shoot, where the couple wore matching light blue jeans and white tops, exuding minimal yet elegant style.
The post also featured a touching video of Mbo in hospital scrubs, joyfully playing with the newborn. The final slide captured a blurry but emotional moment of the new parents together with their baby.

Notably, Oscar chose not to disclose the gender of the baby, keeping some aspects of this new chapter private—just as he and Phasha did throughout the pregnancy.
The news came as a complete surprise to fans, as the couple had kept the pregnancy under wraps, with no hints on social media. Phasha’s last Instagram post was on February 7, where she promoted a Valentine’s collection for a U.S. fashion brand—offering no indication of the life-changing news to come.
The comment section of Mbo’s announcement quickly filled with love and well-wishes from fans, friends, and fellow celebrities:
“EVERYTHING!!! Congratulations Oscar.”

“Ohhh mannn congratulations you too.”
– @zandyskosana
“The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in a LONG time, congratulations FAM.”

Oscar Mbo and Lerato Phasha have long been admired not only for their respective careers but also for their signature style. They’re widely regarded as a fashion-forward power couple, known for their aesthetically pleasing and carefully curated social media content.
Despite often sharing snapshots of their relationship online, the couple is famously private about personal matters. They rarely engage in public drama or scandals.
However, in 2024, the pair briefly made headlines when cheating allegations surfaced involving Oscar. Rather than issue a statement, the couple subtly addressed the rumors by posting photos of themselves shopping together, signaling unity and putting the speculation to rest.
Now, with a new chapter unfolding in their lives, Oscar and Lerato step into parenthood, cheered on by fans and loved ones. While they may choose to keep many moments private, the joy surrounding their growing family is impossible to hide.
