A New Chapter Begins for Reality TV’s Power Couple
Reality TV stars Kayleigh Schwark and Naked DJ (Quinton Masina) have officially entered parenthood, announcing the birth of their first child in a touching Instagram post that melted hearts across South Africa.
On Sunday, November 23, Schwark shared a photo showing their newborn’s tiny hand nestled between hers and her partner’s, revealing that their little one arrived on October 16. The caption read simply: “The most perfect little soul has joined us.” She chose to keep the details private, including the baby’s gender, leaving fans excited and eager to celebrate the milestone alongside them.
From Netflix Screens to Real-Life Joy
Fans of Netflix’s “Young, Famous and African” may recall the couple’s journey on-screen, which was filled with vulnerability, challenges, and growth. Schwark and Masina navigated commitment issues, with Kayleigh openly expressing her desire to marry and start a family, while Naked DJ grappled with fears stemming from past relationships.

But the couple persevered, eventually getting engaged in January 2025 and later announcing their pregnancy in July. Their story resonated with viewers who saw love and dedication triumph over past doubts.
Sharing the Journey, One Baby Bump at a Time
