Cape Town – Springbok scrum-half Faf de Klerk and his wife Miné de Klerk have added to their growing family with the arrival of their second child, a baby girl named Yuke.
The couple shared the joyous news on Instagram, writing simply: “Yuke De Klerk ❤️.”
Their first child, a daughter called Remi-Ré, was born on 27 February 2024 at Rosepark Hospital in Bloemfontein, weighing 2.85 kg and measuring 48 cm long.
Miné shared the news on Instagram, captioning her post: “Remi-Ré De Klerk. 27/02/2024. 37 weeks & 4 days. 2.85 kg. 48 cm. We love you ❤️.”
In a follow-up Instagram post, Miné called their firstborn “a gem,” writing: “Love you baby Rem ❤️. You are a Gem.”
The couple first announced they were expecting their second child earlier in 2025 via a playful Instagram video. They revealed that it would be another girl by having their daughter Remi-Ré pick from two swimwear items (from Faf’s Faffies swimwear line) — one pink and one blue — and she chose the pink.
“Surprise! We’re growing the De Klerk team. Big sister duty: Pick the Faffie of our new teammate … another girl on the way,” they captioned the post.
