"She turned 1!" Stacey and J Sbu's kid named after them visits the studio
We love this little girl!
A new addition to the world has melted the hearts of our team and recently she turned 1.
A mother, Cherrin Hurter, has reached out to inform us of how her beautiful baby girl is named after Stacey and J Sbu.
The baby girl is called Stacey-Jade, with Jade being dubbed the 'female' version of J Sbu.

Cherrin shares: "Stacey-Jade Coetzer was an unplanned baby, when her dad and I got together we didn't want any more kids as I have a daughter who is turning 17 and he has a son who turned 9."
She further describes that when she heard the news about another baby, her heart stopped, because she thought that her fun life of riding motorbikes with her husband was over due to the change in dynamic of their family.
The story further develops when we learn that Cherrin's dad was diagnosed with cancer, which put the family through a "rollercoaster of emotions" and had the mother worrying about her own health along with her dad's.
However, baby Stacey-Jade turned into such a blessing for the family during a difficult time.
Cherrin states that when they found out that she was a little girl, they decided to play "X's and O" to choose a name (obviously she was adamant that it was not allowed to be a name of some girl her husband, Julian, had dated).
How her name came about is that Julian put her name on the list. "I never gave it much attention until I was driving home the one day and we were listening to the Stacey and J Sbu show.
"I eagerly turned up the volume and said 'oh, this is why you wanted to name her Stacey because you smaak the chick on the radio .

"We then went to visit my dad and told him that after much back and forth we realised that Stacey-Jade has a nice ring to it."
Her brother absolutely loved the name and couldn't agree more with the parents.

Cherrin mentions that "Stacey-Jade is a really good little kiddo barely cries unless she needs something.
"She has just started smiling and gurgles at her mobile in her cot, she loves bathing she is spoilt with love and kisses.
"Her dad works away a lot but he video calls her every night and we are convinced she knows is voice as her lips turn into little o's when she hears him."
Thank you, Cherrin, for sharing this beautiful news with us. Thank you to Babies R Us for gifting Stacey-Jade a gift.
We wish this family all the best and can't wait to meet our show baby some day...
