Artist and podcast host Londie London shared insights about her isolating experiences during pregnancy in the inaugural episode of her eagerly awaited reality series Life with Londie London, which premiered on 21 May.
INSIDE LONDIE LONDON’S LONELY PREGNANCY JOURNEY
The series opener commenced with a compelling segment. Among the various moments in the episode, one that resonated deeply with viewers was Londie discussing her solitude throughout her two pregnancies.
In reflecting on her journey into motherhood, she expressed:
“I’m blessed to have my kids, but man, it took a lot to get here. I was alone in both pregnancies. I’ve never experienced baby daddy being there,” she began.
“Even with all my scans, I was alone. He never even came to the hospital after giving birth. Both pregnancies, not just one,” she added.
“It hasn’t been easy because they look like their dad. I never imagined myself to be a single parent,” she said.
The mother of two was married to businessman Hlubi Nkosi, but they divorced in 2022.
Londie elaborated on her marriage, saying “There was no love, it was very cold, you know, Hillcrest is always cold, but at that house it was always minus 20 degrees.”
INSIDE LONDIE LONDON’S FAMILY LIFE
This multi-talented icon was born in Durban to professional accountant Dudu Zulu and the late Zakheleni Christopher Zulu.
Nonetheless, she spent her formative years in Melmoth, KwaZulu-Natal, before relocating with her mother to Witbank, where her childhood was primarily spent.
She has two children, a son named Uminathi, and a daughter, Bomikazi, whom she affectionately refers to as her “Irish twins” due to their small age gap.
Among those in Londie’s close circle are her younger brother Mongezi Zulu, who has a passion for “anything that has art in it,” and her friend Qophelo Ndwandwe, an entrepreneur who views himself as “a generous person.”
