Springbok and wife make miracle baby announcement

Springbok Willie Le Roux and his wife, Holly Clare, have announced their pregnancy, just months after sharing their struggle with infertility with the public. 

The rugby player and the professional nutritionist – who wed two years ago – have been together since 2019.

WILLIE LE ROUX AND WIFE HOLLY CLARE ARE EXPECTING!

In their Instagram post, Willie Le Roux and wife Holly Clare went public with news of their first pregnancy.

“Some dreams take a little longer”, Holly shared.

The couple announced the news with a tennis-themed celebration with friends and family – including fellow Springbok Handre Pollard- at the Nieuwe Sion Estate near Franschhoek 

The “Le Roux Open” featured a fun day of games and drinks between pals.

In February, Holly Clare shared her infertility struggle.

The Springbok WAG revealed she had suffered from “silent endometriosis” and had undergone an “exploratory” operation.

Holly Clare shared that the recovery was long and painful. However, she was using her platform to encourage women in similar situations to explore their options.

She shared at the time: “You don’t get given any promises in infertility, but the days you feel hopeful, you grab them. Children are the biggest blessing, and I am hopeful we will have our own one day”.

SPRINGBOK BABIES ON THE WAY

Willie le Roux is one of several Springboks whose wives are pregnant.

Others include Kwagga Smth – also set to become a first-time dad – and Jasper Wiese.

Other players like Makazole Mapimpi, RG Snyman and Vincent Tshituka have also recently welcomed their bundles of joy.
