The couple has their fanbase feeling broody in the best way after sharing the very sweet moment that Hunter got to meet his little sister, Isabella.

 

Cape Town, South Africa (30 October 2025) – Few things in life are as precious as those first moments between siblings. The Pollards recently experienced that magic first-hand, when their eldest, Hunter (who isn’t even two years old yet), got to meet his brand-new baby sister, Isabella.

Hunter has been the centre of his parents’ world until now. Suddenly having to share the spotlight with a sibling is a change, but that first meeting with his little sister in the hospital showed that he’s going to be the best big brother around – commenters all agree.

Having just welcomed their second child, the Pollards are adjusting to life as a family of four – and they’re clearly soaking up every second. It’s been almost two weeks of getting to know a new piece of their hearts.

It started with the sweetest tradition when Isabella was born – the Springbok champ got to fly the pink flag high as he celebrated the very special moment of becoming a girl dad.

The switch-up from one child to two can be a whirlwind, but it’s also filled with so many beautiful milestones, and introducing Hunter to Isabella was one of those moments they decided to share with the world.

All parents know that sleepless nights and nappie mountains are so real, but so is the joy of watching your children begin their lifelong bond. Just too precious!
