The twins, who turned 21 in July 2025, were born and raised in the Western Cape. Their milestone birthday attracted attention on social media after family photos featuring both parents circulated online. Despite the interest, the celebration was private, attended only by close friends and family, reflecting the Erasmus family’s preference for privacy.

Nikkie and Carli are both students at Stellenbosch University, one of South Africa’s leading institutions. Nikkie is studying psychology, while Carli is enrolled in the humanities faculty, continuing to make their mark academically while enjoying time with their famous father.
