Ntando Duma dispelled the rumours that she had a surrogate carry her new baby.

The actress recently welcomed a child with her husband, Una Rams, after keeping her pregnancy on the hush-hush.

While many fans congratulated the newlyweds on their growing family, others speculated that Ntando had had someone else carry her child, as she was not visibly pregnant.

Responding to the allegations during her interview with L-Tido on 20 August 2025, Duma hinted that her baby was entirely hers:

"Because you didn't see me pregnant then it's not my child? Like, what do you mean?"
