Former Miss South Africa – Natasha Joubert – and her husband, Enrico Vermaak, are joyfully preparing to welcome a new addition to their family. In a beautifully intimate joint Instagram post, the couple revealed that they had been safeguarding a sweet secret for the past five months, and now they’re ready to share the growing baby bump and their heartfelt excitement with the world.
The post began with an honest and touching caption: “The last five months we’ve been keeping the sweetest secret,” as Natasha Joubert and Enrico opened up about the many emotions and hurdles of the journey thus far. Natasha went on to express her deep gratitude for the privacy respected by those close to them. She wrote: “One thing I have learnt is how sacred pregnancy is. To my people who have known and kept a secret with me, bless you and thank you for respecting Enrico and I.”
She explained that they chose to wait until they had completed their anatomy scan and felt confident that everything was progressing healthily before making the announcement. That thoughtful decision demonstrates how important it was to both of them to honour the significance of this new life and the transition into parenthood.
Navigating the Ups and Downs: What Natasha Joubert Shared
In the same post, Natasha Joubert was candid about the real-life challenges of pregnancy: “There is a lot that comes with being pregnant and I have been challenged mentally, physically and psychologically throughout. I have had so many turbulences with friendships and work and felt guilty for not feeling joyous.” She admitted that even amidst the excitement, there were moments she struggled, and that it took time for her to work through many of these feelings so she could fully embrace “all the amazing emotions.”
Her honesty offers a powerful message – that pregnancy is not always an unbroken stream of bliss, but a complex mix of growth, vulnerability, and transformation. For Natasha and Enrico, this new chapter has meant reconciling the external joy with internal adjustments, and making space for both.
Despite the turbulence, the overall tone of Natasha’s message was one of immense love and anticipation. She concluded the post: “Enrico and I are on cloud 100,000,000. We love this little one so much.” With that declaration of pure joy, the couple invited fans and followers along for the next chapter—one filled with hope, promise and deep affection.
In response, congratulations and messages of love have poured in from fans, friends and the broader community as the two step into this meaningful phase of their lives together.
This announcement comes at a time when Natasha Joubert is already in the spotlight for her achievements and ambitions. As winner of the 2023 Miss South Africa 2023 pageant, she has leveraged her platform not just for pageantry but for entrepreneurial and philanthropic work — including her initiative, the Natasha Joubert Collective, which focuses on education, entrepreneurship and giving second chances.
Now, as she prepares to become a mother, Natasha’s journey takes on a new dimension — blending her public role with deeply personal transformation. It’s a move from being in the spotlight for beauty, leadership and enterprise, into the equally profound realm of nurturing new life and building a family.
For Natasha and Enrico, this period is undoubtedly something more than a milestone — it’s a pivot point. With the foundation already laid in their marriage earlier this year (they tied the knot in March), the upcoming addition represents another layer of their partnership and shared growth.
Their choice to guard the early months in private, to acknowledge the challenges openly and to step forward with gratitude and excitement sets a tone of authenticity and humility. As fans and well-wishers follow this journey, the story is no longer just about what Natasha Joubert has achieved, but the life she’s creating grounded in love, resilience and intention.
They say it takes a village — and in announcing their pregnancy with such openness, Natasha and Enrico invite that village in, while also holding space for the sacredness of the moment. If this announcement is any indication, the next chapter of Natasha Joubert’s life promises to be as vibrant, meaningful and inspiring as the journey that led her here.
Congratulations to Natasha and Enrico on this wonderful news — may their path forward be full of love, laughter and unforgettable moments.
