Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth and his wife, Anlia, are celebrating two years of marriage.
Marking the special occasion on social media, Eben described the past two years as the best time of his life. Meanwhile, Anlia expressed her gratitude, calling herself the ‘happiest wife’ on the planet.
The couple’s love story began in October 2021 when they met through mutual friends in Melkbosstrand, Cape Town. Their connection was instant, and Eben quickly fell for Anlia, a well-known South African actress and singer.
Less than a year later, in March 2022, Eben proposed to Anlia in Hyères, France, sharing the happy news with the world on social media.
On 4 February 2023, the Springbok rugby star and the actress tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at the stunning La Paris Estate in Franschhoek, Western Cape, surrounded by close friends and family.
Anlia is best known for her role in the popular Afrikaans series Getroud Met Rugby and her singing talent. Last year she was honoured to perform the South African national anthem at one of Eben’s 100th test caps.
The couple recently welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in January 2024.
