But, it was Bobby’s sister Karlien van Jaarsveld’s Instagram post that truly did the day justice. She wished her brother a happy birthday with some impressive throwback photos, and a long message in which she talked about their journey together and how it reminds her of how they have always been looking out for one another.

The pictures she shared includes a vintage-looking photo of the two of them and their parents at Bobby’s christening, and another photo in which a young Bobby is wearing a red mesh shirt, black hat and rapper bling – looking a little too much like Canadian singer Justin Bieber.

There are also a couple of photos of him with his sister, one with his wife, and some pictures boasting special family memories.
