Marise Pollard, the wife of Springboks fly-half Handre Pollard, shared a look at the animals they appear to have at their home via her Instagram Stories on Monday 13 April.
MARISE POLLARD SHARES LOOK AT THEIR ANIMALS
Mom of two Marise Pollard was beaming of pride as she shared a look inside her family life. She shared an Instagram Reel of her son Hunter, who she welcomed with husband Handre Pollard in April 2024, with the caption “THIS and raising kids like it’s the 90s”. Take a look…
Marise then shared a photo of Hunter looking at a fence, and two adorable donkeys in what appears to be their home. She also shared photos of chickens and the fresh eggs they had laid. Take a look…
This comes after Marise shared a look inside their dream home in South Africa after returning from the UK. Handre and Marise lived in the UK since 2022 as the rugby star joined Leicester Tigers. However, in 2025, the couple moved back to South Africa as Handre signed a contract with Pretoria-based rugby team The Bulls for two years.
PARENTS TO TWO UNDER TWO
Handre and Marise are parents of two under two. In April 2024, the pair welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Hunter Andre Pollard, as seen above. The pair welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Isabella Tanya Pollard in October 2025. So, this made them parents of two under two. However, Hunter will turn two later this month.
The pair connected through Facebook back in 2012. A few years later, Handre and Marise tied the knot at Cavalli Estate in the Cape Winelands in 2017 and have been happily married since!
The couple aren’t the only Springboks who had babies in 2024 and 2025. Springboks lock Eben Etzebeth and his wife and Anlia welcomed their first baby in January 2024. In October 2025, they welcomed their second baby.
Faf de Klerk and his wife Mine welcomed their first child in February 2025, a baby girl named Remi-Re. The pair welcomed their second child in November 2025, also a baby girl named Yuke.
Springbok Edwill van der Merwe and his wife, Nadine welcomed their first child in November 2025.
