Kenyan actress Catherine Kamau, popularly known as Selina, has announced that she is pregnant with her second child, 13 years after her first.

According to her social media post, Kamau and her husband, Philip Karanja, decided to go public with the news to encourage hopeful mothers and career women who are trying to balance their family and professional goals.

"The cat or rather the baby is out of the bag. We are over the moon. We really wanted to keep this to ourselves but then again I remembered the many women on my timeline, hopeful moms to be, rainbow moms, career women trying to decide between family and your goals. I feel you this is for you. God’s time is the best," she wrote on her social media account.

Since her colourful wedding to Karanja on November 17, 2017, fans have been eagerly waiting for her to get pregnant. Kamau got pregnant with her first child at the age of 19 while studying at the Kampala International University in Uganda.

Earlier this year, in an interview with Sunday Nation, Kamau revealed that she was ready to get pregnant for her husband from day one, but Karanja kept postponing their plans, citing that he had things to sort out first.
