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.

Brock Purdy's latest milestone: A new addition to the 49ers' family
Brock Purdy became the latest San Francisco 49ers star to join the fatherhood club. Purdy's wife Jenna gave birth to the couple's first child, Millie Joleen Purdy. Purdy left the team late last week for his daughter's birth before returning to practice on Sunday. Jenna Purdy announced the news of the couple's new daughter on Monday on social media that included a picture of her and Brock holding Millie Joleen with the caption: 'Life just became a whole lot sweeter." The Purdy's new arrival came nearly two weeks after star running back Christian McCaffrey and his wife, Olivia Culpo, had their first child, Colette Annalise McCaffrey. 'The guys have matured an incredible amount in the last couple days,' fullback Kyle Juszcyk said with a smile on Monday. 'They both have terrible dad jokes. They both got their dad strength overnight. Just so happy for both of them and their families. They're going to be incredible fathers. We're all just so excited for them.' The Purdys met when both were students at Iowa State and got married in March 2024. It's been an eventful year already for the family with Brock Purdy signing a five-year, $265 million contract extension in May and the couple buying a new house for the offseason in Nashville, Tennessee. Padded practice The Niners had their first padded practice of training camp with rookie defensive linemen Mykel Williams and C.J. West both faring well in one-on-one pass rushing drills. The start of pads brought an added energy to the session that was the longest yet of training camp for the 49ers. 'It was fun,' Juszczyk said. 'I really felt like I was craving it. I said to Christian a couple days ago, I'm really excited for some physicality. It's been a long time. It was fun to go out there and be able to hit somebody.' Injury updates Defensive end Tarron Jackson was released from the hospital after being taken off the field by a stretcher following a scary injury Sunday. Jackson was back at the facility and is still being evaluated for a neck injury. Receiver Jauan Jennings missed practice a day after leaving early with a calf injury. There is no word on the extent of the injury. Cornerback Renardo Green and receiver Jacob Cowing remain sidelined by hamstring injuries and DT Jordan Elliott also was out for undisclosed reasons. Cornerback Eli Apple took part in his first practice after being signed Sunday. Receiver Quintez Cephus was cut to make room. ___ AP NFL:

Family of 5 Go Viral for $1K Grocery Hauls. Now They're Breaking Down the Reality of the Hefty Price Tag (Exclusive)
YouTubers Gabby and Christian Carlin talk with PEOPLE about grocery shopping for a family of fiveNEED TO KNOW Gabby and Christian Carlin share how they involve their three kids in their grocery shopping routine, from building the list to picking the snacks The YouTube creators break down their monthly grocery costs and why they don't stick to a strict budget The parents of three also open up about balancing content creation with real-life parentingFor YouTube creators Gabby and Christian Carlin, grocery shopping with their kiddos is less about going viral and more about getting through the list, just like any other family. Gabby and Christian Carlin — who go by @TheCarlins on YouTube — are parents to three children, Audrey, 5, Asher, 4, and Abbie, 2, often sharing their family adventures with a growing online audience. Among their most popular content is peeks at their monthly grocery shopping hauls, where viewers often weigh in with their guesses on the price tag. They admit to PEOPLE that buying groceries with three little ones in tow is no easy feat. 'When we do our groceries, we always come with a big list,' Christian tells PEOPLE exclusively. 'Whenever we run out of something, we tell Amazon, 'Alexa, add this to the list,' because if not, we're going to forget.' Naturally, with three kids, sticking to the list isn't always easy. The kids sometimes try to sneak items into the cart — 'Asher, he's like a little ninja,' Christian says of their 4-year-old son — so they make it a point to have them check in before adding anything. 'Sometimes it's something that we actually need,' Christian adds. 'They're so aware of what we need — they're so smart.' To avoid impulse buys, the Carlins say they usually head to the store after breakfast, which helps curb cravings and keep their purchases focused and shopping may be a routine task for the Carlins, but in their household, it's something the kids actually look forward to. 'We just tell 'em, 'Hey, we're going to go do groceries,' and they get super excited because they love going with us,' Gabby time, even staple items have become a source of excitement — from frozen mangoes and peaches to a recent family favorite: Sam's Club egg bites. 'It's like we're going to Starbucks at home,' she adds. 'We make them their little meal, and they eat it.' With a home full of activities — from dance and football to swim lessons and homeschooling — grocery trips also double as prep for the week ahead. The Carlins rely on easy, grab-and-go snacks like fruit, yogurt and veggie chips to keep their kids fueled throughout the go-to picks include easy handheld items like mandarins, veggie chips, yogurt drinks, Babybel cheese and string cheese snacks that travel well between sports, dance and days at the also keeps a small bag in the car stocked with diapers, wipes and other essentials. It's a system that comes in handy not just for the baby, but also for the older kids. 'Even for the bigger kids, the wipes are always needed,' she parents of three don't necessarily have a budget when it comes to groceries, and for good reason. Buying in bulk from Sam's Club allows them to stock up on essentials for the month, while weekly trips to Publix help replenish fresh produce, dairy and other household items as needed. 'Groceries are so expensive,' Gabby says. 'We just need to get what we need, because if we have everything at home, we have no reason to eat out [at a restaurant].' 'When we do go to Sam's Club, it literally lasts us a whole month,' Christian adds. 'People are like, 'Oh my gosh, between $500 and $600 at Sam's Club for a family of five,' but it lasts us a whole month.'Still, the Carlins make quick stops at Publix throughout the week — often for fresh produce, milk or other perishables — which adds to their overall grocery bill. 'So, five to seven hundred for Sam's Club, but on top of that, we go to Publix every week, so that's probably like $120 to $200 a week,' Christian says. All in all, the Carlins spend about $1,000 a month to keep the whole family well-fed and ready for their action-packed days. For the parents of three, what began as a fun, creative outlet while they were still in college has since evolved into a full-time career, one built on authenticity and lots of teamwork behind the scenes. Still, quality time with their family is the priority. 'We are a complete team in this house,' Christian says. 'Family time is the most important.' 'Every day looks so different, so we balance it out,' Gabby adds. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
