Ugandan media personality and DJ Sheilah Gashumba has sparked widespread excitement online after casually confirming she is three months pregnant in a lighthearted video that quickly went viral.
In the 56-second clip, Sheilah speaks directly to the camera, revealing that she is expecting her baby later in 2026. Staying true to her vibrant personality, she blends the announcement with playful remarks about a DJ gig, champagne plans, and even jokingly hints at needing a hug, keeping the tone both personal and entertaining. The video also features a celebratory on-screen graphic decorated with baby emojis.
The revelation also means her father, media commentator Frank Gashumba, is set to step into a new role as a grandfather.
Social media quickly lit up with reactions, as fans flooded the comments with jokes about the timing, humorous speculation about a “baby boom” among Ugandan socialites, and playful demands for more details.
Sheilah’s announcement also follows a recent TikTok live session where she engaged fans on various topics, including her personal life. During the broadcast, she responded to a question about her due date by revealing she was three months pregnant, briefly showing her baby bump and asking for prayers and support during her pregnancy journey.
The news has also reignited public interest in her relationship with businessman Alexandra Bidandi, who has previously been linked to her.
In earlier interviews, Sheilah emphasized that she values stability and intentional parenting, stating that she would only have a child in a relationship built on love, planning, and long-term commitment beyond celebrations like gender reveals and baby showers.
While she has not shared further details, her candid and unconventional announcement has already become one of the most talked-about moments on Ugandan social media.
