Springboks lock Eben Etzebeth showed his other side as he celebrated his daughter Lia’s birthday in style. Over the years, Eben has made a big name as one of the finest locks in rugby history. In doing so, he has also won several trophies and individual awards, including two World Cups.
Undoubtedly, Eben is an international icon and star, but surely, he is also a different person away from rugby. On the rugby field, Eben is a forceful locker who is naturally a bulldozer. His way of playing has created an image that makes it difficult to imagine his other side away from the game.
At home, he is a very calm, caring, and gentle husband to his wife, Anlia Etzebeth, and their children. He showed that character now, celebrating his young daughter’s birthday.

INSIDE EBEN ETZEBETH’S YOUNG DAUGHTER’S BIRTHDAY
As a family, Eben and Anlia took their daughters to an outdoor event organised by Boho Bliss Events. They went and enjoyed themselves at a beach wearing pink clothes that matched well. Together, they enjoyed the delicious cake, cupcakes and good food.
After the celebration, Anlia expressed what it was like to see their daughter grow up.
“The Magical ONE… Our precious blue-eyed girl… How are you a whole 1 year old!? 🥹 In your eyes, everything and everyone is just fine and beautiful…. Your spirit is one of the softest, softest, deepest, deepest, and most beautiful, beautiful…. May you always see the magic in everything and let the beautiful light that God has given you shine… What a privilege to be your Mom and Dad…. 🥹 🙏 🥹 🙏 🙏 🥹. Thank you @bohoblissevents for all the beautiful decor. 🙏 And thank you for the delicious cake!!” she said, wishing her well.
