Mum's the word for Zaba
The 25-year-old, who rocks the 9am to midday slot on weekdays, says she and fiancé Bevan Godden decided “it was the right time to start a family.”
The happy couple is expecting the arrival of their little one in April next year. “I don’t have a preference. I will be just happy with a healthy baby boy or a girl,” says Zaba, admitting that they’ve already chosen a name for their little one.
“It’s my first baby so I’m really scared but excited at the same time. I’m scared because of the responsibility of raising this little being who will be the next president, or a teacher, or a policeman or supermodel. I am responsible for all the lessons this child will learn, and I’m terrified of messing up. At the same time, I am super excited and can’t wait to meet him or her.”
She says the biggest lesson she will teach her child is that nothing is impossible. “I will tell him or her that they can have whatever they want in the world; it’s theirs for the taking. I will make sure he or she isn’t confined to boxes or categories – a boy can be a ballet dancer or a make-up artist and a girl can be a doctor and a supermodel at the same time.”
Zaba used Instagram to unveil her happy news by posting these pics of Bevan kissing her pregnant belly.

She says he is super excited about being a dad and has been tagging her on cute baby videos since the day they found out that she was pregnant.
The couple’s been dating for over a year but they’ve known each other for six years. The baby news isn’t the only excitement in their lives – Zaba and Bevan are planning their wedding too!
Zaba says her pregnancy has been good so far, with no morning sickness or any other early symptoms, but says it’s the first time in her life that she is not able to wear high heels for long periods.
The fashionista adds: “Pregnancy fashion is very frumpy, so I will literally be doing a Kim Kardashian and buy everything bigger!”
