In June, Sasha shared a rare family moment on Father’s Day as she celebrated Mapimpi with a picture of him and their son.
The Mapimpis have largely kept their marriage private. It was only revealed by Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus in September 2024 that the Sharks winger was married and a father. In May, Sasha shared a photo of the thoughtful present she received from one of her children on Mother's Day. She was gifted a gorgeous pink mug.
