Pearl Modiadie’s son, Olivier Lewatle, turned one, and to celebrate she shared a picture of his face for the first time.
The media personality also included her baby daddy, French businessman Nathaniel Oppenheimer, in the shot.
“Mom and Dad love you very much! Happy Birthday baby and thank you for giving us the most fulfilling year of our lives,” Pearl captioned the image.

The 33-year-old shared several other pictures from Lewatle’s big day. The theme for his first birthday was ‘a boho chic safari experience’.
Nono Events, which was also behind Ntando Duma’s recent birthday party, brought the safari theme to life.

Two parties for a special birthday boy
Lewatle had two birthday celebrations. The first party took place on his actual birthday, which was September 18.
“It truly takes a village to raise a child and today my little village came through for me in a big way. My sisters Dambuza & Tebo did the decor & entertainment, my uncle did the slaughtering, dad spoke to the ancestors…
“… my friend Nombuso took on the role of photographer & nanny, cousins and aunts took care of catering & umqombothi, a family friend baked the birthday cake and parents brought the kids out to celebrate Lewatle with baby daddy and I,” she wrote.
Pearl has been careful not to show her son’s face over the past year. One of the reasons she chose not to reveal his identity was because ‘the internet is a vile space”.
But she couldn’t stop gushing over her gorgeous boy.
“I melt when I look at that little face,” she revealed shortly after his birth last year.
