"No Words Will Ever Be Able to Describe the Feeling"
"16•01•24 No words will ever be able to describe the feeling. Thank you lord," Anlia wrote in her touching caption.
A Memorable Pregnancy Reveal
The couple made waves last October with their pregnancy announcement at none other than the Stade de France. The moment was iconic: the Springboks had just secured a historic fourth Rugby World Cup title, and the stadium was alive with celebration. October 29 was a double celebration for Eben, who also turned 32 that day. Anlia commemorated the event by sharing a snap of them standing on the pitch, draped in green, and posing alongside the shining Webb Ellis Cup.
"BLESSINGS Upon BLESSINGS!"
"BLESSINGS upon BLESSINGS! Thank you Lord. Well done Bokke & HAPPY BIRTHDAY my liefste man," she posted, brimming with joy.
A Love Story Sealed in Franschhoek
The lovebirds tied the knot in February 2023 at the picturesque La Paris Estate in Franschhoek. The Citizen reported that the dreamy venue witnessed Eben and Anlia exchange their vows in a setting that matched their fairy-tale romance. Before they crossed paths in Melkbosstrand, north of Cape Town, Anlia was already a star in her own right.
Anlia's Stellar Career
Before meeting Eben, Anlia had made a name for herself on screen, notably in the series Getroud Met Rugby, where she portrayed Sasha Richter. Her talents extend beyond acting; Anlia is also celebrated for her incredible singing voice.
Rugby fans will recognise her from numerous occasions when she led the national anthem at home games, her angelic voice filling the stadiums and leaving a lasting impression.

RICHEST RUGBY PLAYERS:
5. Johnny and Laura Sexton – £6m
Together since their teens, Johnny Sexton and his wife Laura are one of rugby's wealthiest couples.
Known for their close-knit family, with three children often seen pitchside, the Sextons met at Rathgar Tennis Club and tied the knot in 2013.
From Dublin's Saint Mary's College to University College Dublin, Johnny and Laura have been through it all. Their story, filled with love and commitment, has captivated fans just as much as Johnny's rugby career.
4. Siya and Rachel Kolisi – £10m
With an empire worth an estimated £10 million, Siya and Rachel Kolisi were not just a power couple but partners in philanthropy. Known for their foundation and work in communities, the couple planned to keep collaborating on their projects, even as they transition to a new chapter.
Siya recently rejoined the Sharks in South Africa after a stint with French side Racing, but despite their split, Rachel remains the “rock” Siya has always called her.
Though the Kolisis' marriage may be over, their legacy as one of South Africa's most-loved couples will continue to inspire fans across the globe.
