Look who’s growing! Handré Pollard’s baby boy is six months old and cute as a button [PICS]

Little Pollie: Springboks WAG Marise Pollard shared some new photos of her and the rugby star's six-month-old son.


Double World Cup-winning Springboks fly-half Handré Pollard and his wife, Marise, celebrated their son Hunter’s six-month milestone with a family outing in London this week.

The Pollards is currently residing in Market Harborough where the veteran player is on contract with the Leicester Tigers until the end of the Premiership season.

Heading online, Marise shared some adorable pictures of little Hunter André Pollard, who was born on 25 April this year.

Team Pollard: ‘You are our world’

The proud first-time mom gushed over the couple’s bouncy boy, captioning her Instagram carousel post:

“Happy 6 months my boy, you are our world”.

In the comment section, a fan remarked that Hunter is “Handré’s photocopy”, although we think the jury is still out on whether little Pollie does not carry his brown-eyed mom’s looks…

Earlier this month, the 28-year-old Springboks WAG had her Instagram followers ooh-ing and aah-ing when she shared some certifiably cute pics of the little boy.
