The Springboks coach is a father of three daughters with his former wife, Nicolene. Carli is the twin sister of Nikki, while their youngest daughter is Jani.
Erasmus and Nicolene ended their two-decade marriage in early 2024, with their union having produced three children. The 53-year-old coach and his former partner, who is a nurse by profession, have since maintained a strong co-parenting relationship despite their separation.
In March, Nicolene reunited with Erasmus as they celebrated Nikki’s graduation, further highlighting their continued commitment to co-parenting.

The Springboks will next face Scotland on Saturday, 11 July, in Pretoria. Several senior names remain unavailable, including Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth, Lood de Jager, Franco Mostert, Ox Nche, André Esterhuizen and Ethan Hooker, all ruled out with minor injury concerns.
Erasmus stressed the importance of depth and adaptability, pointing to Scotland’s recent form and physical threat as key challenges.
“They are a quality side and will test us in all areas,” he said, adding that close historical encounters between the teams demand accuracy and full concentration from the first whistle at Loftus Versfeld.
