Bam shared the happy news of her pregnancy in October 2022, with a heartfelt Instagram post.

“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.

“Behold, children are a heritage and gift from the LORD, The fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. Psalms 127:3-4,” the television presenter said on Instagram when she announced her pregnancy.

“But this… this is something more, it’s something holy – sacred, … this is love. Yes, we’ve gone into hiding the last three weeks. We wanted to drink in every moment and view it through our awe-struck teary eyes.
