Bam and Bergh have been married since 2014 after meeting through South Africa’s pageant world. Bam was crowned Miss South Africa in 2011, while Bergh won the Mr South Africa title in the same year.

The couple welcomed their first child, son Ruach Michal Bergh, in 2023. Bam announced her first pregnancy in October 2022, describing the journey to parenthood as a deeply meaningful one for the couple. Their second child, daughter Rein Talia Bergh, was born prematurely in November 2024.

According to reports, her daughter arrived weighing approximately 1.1kg and staying 66 days in neonatal intensive care before going home with her family.

Bam later described her daughter as their “little miracle” while reflecting on the emotional experience.

A growing family

Now, with their family preparing to grow once again, the former beauty queens are entering another exciting chapter of parenthood.
The news has already attracted congratulatory messages from fans and pageant followers, many of whom have followed Bam and Bergh’s journey from the pageant stage to marriage and family life.

With Baby Bergh reportedly due in February 2027, the couple will soon have three children and another special milestone to celebrate together.
