MARISE POLLARD’S FATHER’S DAY TRIBUTE TO HANDRE
Mom of two Marise Pollard dedicated a touching Instagram post to her husband, Springboks fly-half Handre Pollard on Father’s Day on Sunday 21 June. Handre and Marise have two children together – two-year-old Hunter Andre Pollard and a baby girl named Isabella Tanya Pollard.
“Happy Father’s Day to the man who is the heart of our home. 🤍 Watching you become a father has made me fall even more in love with you. No matter how tired you are or how long you’ve been away, the moment you walk through the door, everything feels lighter,” she wrote.
“You are our safe place, our constant, our calm. Hunter and Isabella are so lucky to call you Dad. Thank you for being the example our son will look up to and for showing our daughter exactly how she deserves to be loved one day. I honestly can’t imagine being the woman and mother I am without you by my side,” she continued.
“Oneindig lief vir jou H. 🤍,” she added.
MARISE POLLARD LAUNCHES ‘THE MOM ERA CLUB’
Marise also launched the Mom Era Club, which is branded as “space where moms can feel held, connected, and less alone.” Marise is using this platform to share her personal experiences as well as provide support to mothers and women hoping to become mothers.
In a touching post, Marise spoke about how she was so planned out and scheduled with her first child Hunter, who she welcomed with her husband, Springboks fly-half Handre Pollard in 2025. She expressed that all her planning and need for perfection changed with her daughter Isabella Tanya Pollard, who taught her to embrace the chaos.
“We planned everything to a tee. After IVF, I spent months mentally, emotionally, and spiritually preparing myself. I was determined to be organised, prepared, and on top of everything. I thought if I planned enough, motherhood would unfold exactly as I imagined,” she wrote.
“Then came Isabella…And she gently taught me one of the biggest lessons, you cannot control motherhood. She arrived and slowly chipped away at my need for perfection. The schedules,
the expectations, the pressure to have it all together. She showed me that the magic isn’t found in getting everything right, it’s found in embracing the chaos, being present in the messy moments, and sometimes simply laughing when nothing goes according to plan,” she continued.
