A-Reece and his partner Rickelle are officially parents of two. The South African rapper and his longtime love announced the arrival of their baby boy on 20 October 2026, sending fans into a frenzy of congratulations.
Rickelle broke the news on her Instagram page, posting a carousel of photos from the delivery room. One image showed her cradling her newborn, who was dressed in an outfit paying tribute to his rapper father. Another captured A-Reece himself in hospital scrubs. She kept the caption short and sweet, simply writing "Prince," letting the photos do the talking.
A-Reece wasted no time responding to the post, writing: "The champ is here!" The following day, Rickelle followed up with a separate post offering a glimpse into her pregnancy journey.
A growing family
The couple welcomed their firstborn, a daughter, in late 2024, and have given followers occasional peeks at their family life since then. The pair have also been together for several years, having celebrated their fifth anniversary in 2023.
Fans noticed that Rickelle updated her Instagram username to Rickelle Mataboge, suggesting the couple may have quietly tied the knot, though no formal wedding announcement has been made public.
News of the new baby spread rapidly across social media, with many fans and fellow artists sending their warmest wishes. The arrival also reignited jokes about A-Reece's well-known "Baby Boy" nickname, with many suggesting it was time to hand the title down to the newest member of the family.
