Congratulations are in order for Springboks star Faf de Klerk and his wife, Miné, who have welcomed their second child, a baby girl.

In a joint Instagram post, the couple shared a carousel of images of the newborn while in another picture, they were still in the hospital, holding their newborn alongside their daughter Remi-Ré, who is now a big sister.

They simply captioned the post with the name of the newborn: “Yuke De Klerk❤️.”

The couple received congratulatory messages from the other Bok wives and fans.

“Congratulations, you guys!!! Welcome, most beautiful Yuke! 🤗🥰🫶🫶,” Anlia Etzebeth commented.

Cheslin Kolbe wrote: “Congratulations, you guys ❤️🙏.”

“Congratulations 😍 😍 most beautiful little blondie ❤️,” Juan-Ri Mostert added.

Faf and Miné shared the joyful news of their pregnancy in June through a heart-warming Instagram reel.

The couple chose to do an intimate pregnancy reveal with just them and their daughter. They also chose a classic yet simple gender reveal.

To reveal the gender reveal of their baby, they chose to use Faf’s swimwear line called Faffies, with both of them holding two Faffies, a blue and pink one.

To confirm the gender of the baby, their daughter picked a pink Faffie.

Miné and Faf tied the knot in October 2022 at La Paris Estate in Franschhoek after being together for almost six years.

In January 2024, they revealed that they were expecting their first child. Later in February, baby Remi-Ré de Klerk was joyfully welcomed into the world.

The De Klerk family is among the many Springbok couples that grew their families this year, including the Pollards and the Etzebeth family.

In October, Marise and Handre Pollard shared in a joint Instagram post that they had welcomed their second child, Isabella Tanya Pollard.

While Anlia and Eben Etzebeth also shared in October that they have welcomed their second child, they did not reveal much about the newborn baby, including her name.
