"You have always been my biggest supporter," he wrote, directing the words at the redhead actress and mother of his three children.
He also liked several comments from followers who expressed hope that the two had found their way back to each other. Among those comments were messages reading:
"You are meant to be,"
"May you find each other again and just be happy. You have always been a beautiful couple and had a great relationship for the sake of your kids," and
"You deserve a second chance."
Surprising revelation about marital status
Adding further intrigue to the situation, Potgieter used the comments section of one of his posts to reveal that he and Gerber have never formally divorced, despite the very public nature of their 2022 separation.
That split was particularly turbulent. At the time, Potgieter allegedly admitted to infidelity through a series of Instagram Stories, while Gerber responded with a cryptic post stating:
"The truth always comes out."
Both subsequently claimed their accounts had been hacked and denied the authenticity of the posts.
Within months of the separation, Potgieter went Instagram official with nail artist Lizane "Lalla" Wagner. That relationship has since ended.
Gerber is a well-known South African actress, and the couple's relationship has long attracted public interest. Their followers appear hopeful that the renewed closeness signals a genuine reconciliation. Potgieter played alongside Bismarck du Plessis, who made headlines after raising millions at an auction where he and his brother, former Springbok star Janine du Plessis, auctioned a prized bull.

The ex-Bulls star, widely remembered as the "Liefling van Loftus" during his playing days, wrote that he found himself in serious difficulty and was appealing to the public for assistance.
