In a heartwarming display of co-parenting, South African radio DJ Thabo Molefe, affectionately known as Tbo Touch, has shared a touching moment involving his wife, Nandi Molefe, and his child’s mother, Thuli Thabethe.
Their collective effort to foster a nurturing environment for his son, Ruri, was showcased in a recent Instagram video that has resonated with fans and netizens alike.
After a seven-month separation, Molefe took the initiative to flip the script on a planned school holiday visit when Ruri, who is currently studying in Sydney, Australia, was supposed to travel to Johannesburg.
Instead, the family united across continents for a surprise reunion that left Ruri elated.
“Ruri was scheduled to fly to Joburg to see his mum during the school holidays, but we flipped the script and @rulerofself flew all the way to #Sydney after seven months since she last saw Ruri,” Molefe captioned the video, further expressing his gratitude to Nandi for making the reunion happen.
“There’s no formula to creating priceless moments. Just be selfless and do it,” he added.
In the video, the joy on Ruri’s face as he is embraced by both his mother and his family is palpable, sparking a flood of emotional responses from viewers.
The heartfelt reunion illustrates not just a parental bond but the collaborative spirit that comes with effective co-parenting.
