Springbok giant Eben Etzebeth, a two-time Rugby World Cup champion, recently traded his boots for flip-flops as he enjoyed a peaceful beach outing with his growing family.
The towering lock was spotted sharing special moments with his wife, Anlia Etzebeth—who is expecting their second child—and their young daughter, Elizabedi. The couple, who tied the knot in 2023, are now preparing to welcome another baby girl into the world.
Anlia posted a glowing snapshot on Instagram, showing the family embracing the sea breeze and sunshine. In the photo, Eben is seen holding their daughter while the three of them beam with happiness. The caption read simply, “What a special weekend… #gratefulheart❤️,” capturing the joy of the moment.
The picture quickly drew a flood of love from fans and rugby supporters, many touched by the wholesome display of family life from one of South Africa’s toughest sportsmen.
The Etzebeths recently celebrated Elizabedi’s first birthday earlier this year, joined by fellow Springboks and their families—a clear sign of how tight-knit the rugby community remains even off the field.
With a second daughter on the way and a career filled with accolades, it’s clear Eben is scoring big both on and off the pitch.
