Rassie has had a successful public life but the rumours that run amok share that he has been facing some strain in his private life.
According to Huisgenoot, Rassie Erasmus and his wife Nicolene have divorced. The publication has obtained documents that state that the divorce between N. Erasmus (Nicolene) and J. Erasmus (Johan) was finalised on the 29th of April 2024.
It is never easy when sharing your life with someone for two decades, however, having supportive friends make a world of difference.
Those close to the couple have done everything they can to respect their private lives.
No Rassie did not appear in court on the 29th of April or any other date.
Reports share that sources close to the couple have stated that they were aware that the Erasmus couple were no longer living together, but you will not catch anyone in the Springbok circles talking about it.
According to Jacaranda FM: "Not even the Springboks' official spokesperson was willing to comment on the matter."
