The couple, who married in a stunning Franschhoek wedding at La Paris Estate three years ago, already have a one-year-old daughter, Remi-Ré, who they welcomed into the world in February 2024.
The pair are the third Springbok couple to announce growing families this year alone.
Breaking the baby ice first was Handrè and Marise Pollard; the couple took to social media to share the news of their second pregnancy. Marise announced the news with an absolutely adorable family video that showed their son Hunter in a jumper that read 'brother.'
The post was captioned, 'Our little family is growing! Hunter is going to be a big brother in October, and we are beyond excited; God is so good.'
Not long afterwards, the Etzebeths - Eben and Anlia - also announced that they were, too, expecting.
Taking to Instagram, the singer announced they are expecting another little girl in a heartwarming post that reads, 'BabyEtzebeth#2 on the way! Can't wait to welcome our little wildflower girl!'
The pair are parents to a beautiful one-year-old whose name they have chosen not to disclose publicly.
Fans have shared thousands of well wishes with the rugby stars, who appear to be having a very fruitful year indeed. Many have been left wondering who the next rugby couple will be to announce a pregnancy, with others pondering whether or not these pregnancies have been pre-planned.
