The reality TV star also opened up about the emotional impact of the split, admitting she is heartbroken but determined to move forward.

“For me I am heartbroken but I need to soldier on and continue working,” she said.

Reflecting on her decision, Thato emphasised her commitment to staying true to herself, even in difficult circumstances.

“I would have never wanted to raise my child alone; however, I have always maintained that there are certain non-negotiables I cannot compromise on… I will not betray myself.”

She concluded by stating that this would be her final public comment on the matter, while recognising Gash1 as the father of her child and expressing gratitude to her supporters.

“Moving forward, it will just be me and my baby, and I am fully focused on building a healthy, happy future for us.”
