He is a pastor, a motivational speaker, and an image consultant, but above all else, Robert Burale is a proud and doting dad to daughter, Lexie.

On Thursday, Lexie turned a year older and Mr Burale was on hand to celebrate her, as he often does on social media pages.

As Lexie turned 12, Burale, a former panelist on Citizen TV’s ‘Fashion Watch’, posted the sweetest of messages as he recalled the day she was delivered.

“27 TH APRIL 2005 at exactly 10:06 am I was in the delivery room with the doctor as you came to this world and had the privilege of seeing you as you popped out,” wrote Burale.

He also revealed that he used to sing to Lexie when she was in the womb.

“For months while in your mothers womb I would sing(my bad voice )and talk to you. The bond started way back. I thank God for allowing me to see you grow day by day,” added Burale.

“Today you celebrate turning 12 years. A God fearing girl you are. A hardworking girl in school and you love the microphone too (I wonder where this came from)I am privileged to be your dad. from the tiny being in the delivery room.”

Robert who has never shied away from sharing his personal life with his ardent followers, also joked that Lexie spends too much time in the mirror and that she needs to take it down a notch.

“I remember cutting the umbilical chord to now the young pretty girl who loves the mirror (I think u need to reduce your time spent in the mirror)…..”
