Marise Pollard, wife of Springbok rugby star Handré Pollard, melted hearts when she shared the first video of their newborn baby girl, Isabella Tanya Pollard, on Instagram.

The touching clip begins with a close-up of Isabella’s tiny feet before gradually revealing her adorable face, giving fans their first glimpse of the couple’s second child.

Marise’s caption, “And just like that, our world has changed again Isabella Tanya Pollard, you are so loved x,” reflects the overwhelming joy in their growing family. Isabella joins her older brother, Hunter, making the Pollards a family of four. The couple welcomed their daughter on 20 October 2025 at Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt in Bellville, a place full of sentimental value as Marise herself was born there.

Fans and friends flooded the post with love and congratulations, celebrating this beautiful new chapter for the Pollards, who continue to balance their family life with Handré’s incredible rugby career.
