POLLARD'S BABY BOKKIE

SPRINGBOK superstar Handre Pollard and wife Marise have announced the arrival of their new baby girl, Isabella Tanya Pollard.

The 30-year-old mom took to Instagram on Tuesday, 21 October to introduce the newest member of the Pollard family after she posted an adorable black and white video.

She captioned her post: “And just like that, our world has changed again. Isabella Tanya Pollard, you are so loved.”

The Pollards welcomed their baby girl on Monday at Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt in Bellville.

The hospital also shared a post, congratulating the couple on this new chapter of their lives.

“Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt would like to congratulate Handré and Marise Pollard on the newest addition to their family. 

As part of our tradition, each new dad raises a flag outside the facility, with Handré Pollard raising a pink flag for their daughter. In a full circle, Mom was also born at this hospital, making it a lovely moment for all!” the post reads.

Before giving birth, Marise shared her pregnancy journey with her followers on social media as well as her excitement to meet her baby girl; she had expressed that she could not wait to meet her second child.
