Sicelo Buthelezi, best known as Seekay, the talented actor and musician who rose to fame with his role in Gomora, is stepping into a new chapter of his life—fatherhood. The 25-year-old star and his partner are expecting their first child together and recently celebrated with a small, intimate baby shower and lunch surrounded by close friends.
According to a close friend, speaking to ZiMoja, Seekay is fully embracing the role of father-to-be and is ready for the next big step in his life. “He has committed himself to fatherhood and is even more excited about making his partner his wife,” said the friend. “But he’s very private and prefers to keep his personal life separate from his work. He proposed to the mother of his child and wears the ring proudly—he’s ready to take the next step.”
Although Seekay confirmed the news, he has chosen not to disclose details about his partner, opting instead to keep this special part of his life out of the public eye. “I’m excited—everyone knows. I just don’t want to share too much too soon,” he told ZiMoja, expressing his desire to maintain some privacy during this important time.
Seekay first captured audiences’ attention in his breakout role as a high school student in Gomora. Since then, his acting career has flourished, with notable roles in Now Or Never, Skeem Saam, and his latest in Isitha. Balancing his dual passions of acting and music, Seekay has proven his versatility and commitment to both crafts. “I can never choose between the two. I love acting because I get to be someone else, but music allows me to be myself,” he said, sharing his deep connection to both careers.
As Seekay embarks on his journey into fatherhood, fans are eager to see how he continues to thrive both personally and professionally. His growing success in the entertainment industry, coupled with his exciting new role as a father, marks a bright future ahead for the multi-talented star.
