WATCH: Franco Mostert’s 20-minute ‘pregnancy’ has his wife in stitches

Franco Mostert’s wife, Juan-Ri, is embracing the last few days of her baby bump by embarking on all kinds of baby bump-inspired crafts.


Springbok Franco Mostert’s wife Juan-Ri is due to give birth to their baby boy on Christmas Day, although she has been saying they are hoping he will stay put until New Year’s Day.

While excitedly awaiting his birth, Juan-Ri has been embracing the last days of her baby bump by being creative in various ways.

She even had her Springbok husband take part in the fun, with a 20-minute fruit pregnancy.

“I just had to make him do this,” she writes.

“Ah, bless his heart. Always a sport!”

After the lengthy process of taping a watermelon around his waist to give him a glimpse of how it feels to be pregnant, Juan-Ri writes: “He’s praising all pregnant women…and to think, he hasn’t experienced half of it.”

“There are still so many cool ideas I found on Pinterest that I’d like to try,” she writes in a recent Instagram post.

“A very special message to their brother. Now, this is art,” she captions the photo in which her and Franco’s two toddler daughters are dressed in black bags, painting pictures for their brother on her belly.
