Life after the UK move

The holiday comes at a particularly meaningful time for the Pollard family. After spending a period in the United Kingdom while Handré was based there, the family has since returned to South Africa. The couple recently completed their new home in Pretoria, where the Bulls fly-half is now based following his return to local rugby.

Handré has spoken openly about his excitement at rejoining the South African rugby scene, and the move appears to have brought the family closer together in more ways than one. He and Marise also marked their wedding anniversary in December 2025, just weeks after welcoming their second child.

Two kids and a new chapter

The Pollards are parents to two little ones: Hunter, who recently celebrated his second birthday, and baby Isabella, born in October 2025. Marise has previously given followers glimpses into the beautiful chaos of raising two children so close in age, and this Mauritian getaway suggests the family is making the most of their new chapter together.
