A few weeks later, the Springbok fly-half’s wife opened up about the challenges of motherhood.
She described the transition as both demanding and fulfilling.
“I’ve always wanted to be a mum. It’s not easy, but it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Motherhood is the most all-consumingly beautiful thing I’ve ever loved. It’s incredible, hard, rewarding, and life-changing.
“Everything changes, especially how you see yourself and the world around you.”
Marise also reflected on navigating the postpartum period, highlighting the importance of self-compassion and mental health.
“Firstly, PP (postpartum) is damn hard. It’s hard for everyone, and it’s so important to be kind to yourself and focus on your own mental health,” she said.
