Wonderful news from Oti Mabuse (35) and husband Marius Lepure: The family of the two professional dancers continues to grow. The couple is expecting their second child together. The news was shared by the two on Instagram on Thursday - accompanied by several family photos in which their excitement is clearly visible.
"Plot twist... We thought we already had our hands full, but life had even bigger plans. Baby No. 2 is joining the dance party, and our hearts (and the house) will soon be so much fuller", wrote Oti Mabuse in her post.
Oti Mabuse is the younger sister of "Let's Dance" judge Motsi Mabuse (45). For years, she was part of the permanent professional ensemble of "Strictly Come Dancing", the British version of "Let's Dance" - with an impressive track record: in 2019 and 2020, she won the show twice in a row. In 2022, she said goodbye to the format. Two years later, she entered the British jungle camp and came in fourth place.
A couple on and off the stage
Oti Mabuse and Marius Lepure met through show dancing in Germany and married in 2014. Since then, they have formed a well-coordinated team - on and off the stage. Their first child was born in 2023. However, the start of family life was anything but easy for the couple.
The daughter, whose name and face the two deliberately keep out of the public eye, was born prematurely. Oti Mabuse later spoke about the difficult birth on the podcast "Happy Mum Happy Baby". According to her, the girl was born ten weeks early and had to spend six weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit.

The bigger, the better", she commented on her sister's pregnancy news. "Let's Dance" judge Jorge González also joined in with red heart emojis. In addition, numerous "Let's Dance" stars sent their congratulations, including Ekaterina Leonova, Isabel Edvardsson, Zsolt Sándor Cseke, Christina Hänni and many more.
