The couple announced the news of their pregnancy earlier this year, just days after celebrating the first birthday of their eldest child, Hunter.
“Our family is growing! Hunter is going to be a big brother, and we are beyond excited; God is so good. Our little girl will join us end of October,” they wrote at the time.

The two have also since relocated back to South Africa after spending 6 years living in Europe to pursue Handre’s rugby ambitions. The couple hinted that the main reason for their return was to be closer to family.
Meanwhile, Handre is not the only Springbok to become a dad for the second time. Lock Eben Etzebeth and his wife Anlia are also expecting.
