This announcement has surprised fans of the World Cup champ, as Mapimpi’s relationship status was previously unknown to the public.

The news not only confirms Mapimpi’s impending fatherhood but also suggests that he may be married.

Mapimpi now joins other Springbok players like Eben Etzebeth, Handre Pollard and Faf du Plessis in becoming a first-time dad.

While the rugby star has kept his personal life private, he was previously linked to influencer Sasha de Sousa, though their relationship was never confirmed, reports The South African.

Congrats to Mapimpi and the Springbok rugby community as they celebrate another new ‘bokkie’!
