Welcome to fatherhood: Athlete Wayde van Niekerk is now a dad

Professional athlete Wayde van Niekerk and his wife, Chesney, took to Instagram on Monday with the wonderful news that they had welcomed their firstborn – a boy – into the world on the 24 November.

In the post, they merely jotted down the date to commemorate the occasion, together with their son’s names: Elijah Luca van Niekerk.
