Wright Ngubeni

If you are a fan of South African television then former child star, Wright Ngubeni would not be a stranger to you!The actor  best known for his role as Jonathan Motene in SABC’s widely syndicated soap opera ‘Generations‘, from 2003-2008 is no longer a kid and he is making babies of his own!

The actor who hardly ever speaks about his personal life opened up recently in intimate chat with TMG Entertainment, about the things that mean the most to him.

Wright revealed that he is a father to a baby girl who is almost two years old. He likes to keep her and her mother out of the spotlight. Here are some highlights from the interview:

“I was blessed with a baby girl. She has just weakened me. She is the highlight of everything that is going well in my life. Her name is Hlayiseka, which means blessed or chosen. My dad named her Hlayiseka and I named her Omuhle, which means beautiful.” 

“I’m happy. I’m good. There will be wedding bells. As a man, that is one of the things that I have to do and that is why I am trying to get everything in place now so that I can gather all the necessary things to provide for them.” 

“Now I know what parents feel when they worry about their children. As a child you think it’s a small thing but it’s actually a different kind of love. A love that you can’t afford to lose. It’s helped keep me strong and given me a purpose to work towards her future.”
