Floyd Shivambu, the EFF’s vice president, and Lorna Maseko, a well-known chef and former Top Billing host, are said to have welcomed their first child together, a daughter.
Maseko gave birth to their child early this month, according to City Press. The purported couple is also serious about each other, according to a person who spoke to the newspaper. This year, Maseko is rumored to have given birth to their child. The two are also rumored to be in a committed relationship.
Maseko and Shivambu’s romance has been rumored for a long time. The chef is thought to be the reason for the EFF MP’s divorce from his two-year-old wife, Siphesihle Pezi. Lorna Maseko announced her pregnancy nearly a year after angrily denying she was carrying Floyd Shivambu’s child. Maseko called the “rumors” “really horrible” and “evil,” and she denied being pregnant while making those who wrote about her being pregnant feel bad.
For a variety of reasons, many don’t discuss about their pregnancies. Some people prefer to keep their mouths shut when it comes to the matter. Lorna fooled many people by claiming to be expecting a child. Lorna and Floyd are said to have reconciled their relationship.
