South African singer and actress Anlia Etzebeth, wife of Springboks lock Eben Etzebeth, shared a touching tribute to their daughter on her first birthday on January 16, 2025. The Etzebeths celebrated this significant milestone with a Winnie the Pooh-themed celebration, making it a memorable day for their family.

Anlia Etzebeth took to Instagram to share a beautiful birthday tribute to her daughter, describing her as “our little wild flower” and expressing her heartfelt wishes for her future. “You are a whole 1 year old! 🫢🥹 May you forever remain the bubbling barefoot little girl. May you leave traces on a dirt road that runs along rivers, May you always smell the wildflowers and the Summer rains kiss you gently, May the cattle greet you and the animals pursue you, May you find a rainbow behind every cloud,” Anlia wrote.

She continued her message with gratitude, saying, “Thank you for the best year of our lives.” This emotional and poetic tribute captured the love and joy that the couple feels as they celebrate this important moment in their daughter’s life.

Eben and Anlia Etzebeth’s journey as parents began shortly after their wedding in February 2023 at the picturesque La Paris Estate in Franschhoek, Western Cape. The couple shared the news of Anlia’s pregnancy shortly after Eben and the Springboks triumphed over the All Blacks in the 2023 Rugby World Cup final.

In January 2025, the Etzebeths welcomed their daughter in Umhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal, where they reside as Eben plays for the Durban-based rugby team, The Sharks.

The Etzebeths are not the only Springbok couple celebrating the joys of parenthood. Shortly after their daughter’s birth, fellow Springboks Faf de Klerk and his wife Mine welcomed their own baby girl in February. In April, Marise and Handre Pollard also became parents to a baby boy, Hunter. The growing families of Springbok players have created a sense of unity and joy within the South African rugby community.

The Etzebeths’ first year of parenthood has been filled with love, and Anlia’s heartfelt tribute to their daughter’s first birthday is a testament to the beautiful family they are building together.
