Cape Town – Rugby player Eben Etzebeth and his wife Anlia have announced the arrival of their baby girl on social media over the weekend.
Anlia shared a photo of herself holding the newborn in the operating room, with Eben, who plays for the Sharks in Durban, by her side.
In the post captioned: “16•01•24 🤍 Geen woorde sal ooit die gevoel kan beskryf nie. Dankie Here🙏 (No words will ever be able to describe the feeling. Thank you Lord),” the Springbok lock was captured donning scrubs, sporting a broad smile, as the visibly delighted mother held their newborn securely in her arms.

Eben and Anlia had previously announced the pregnancy shortly after the Springboks won the Rugby World Cup in October.
The baby’s name has not been revealed yet.
Other Springbok players, including Handre Pollard and Herschel Jantjies, are also expecting additions to their families in 2024.
