Melinda announced she was expecting in October last year. 

"When the desires of our hearts, God’s will, and God’s timing aligns perfectly - earth shakes, light rushes in and the heavens rejoice! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!!!!!" she said. 

She added in a separate post that she was in love with a human she has not even met.

Melinda's family and friends celebrated her baby boy at a chic baby shower in February. Her sister, Melissa Swart, and her sisters-in-law helped make the day extra magical.

"This day couldn’t have been more beautiful or special, with so many special women around me who lavished us with their love, warmth & generosity in celebration of our expected little boy. I generally cry when I’m both happy, moved & sad so you can imagine the waves of emotions I experienced having my mum, sister, grandmother, mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, dearest friends & mentors there all sharing in our joy."
