‘Boer Soek ’n Vrou’s’ Niel and Chereze are expecting

‘Boer Soek ’n Vrou’ farmer Niel Bruwer’s wife, Chereze, is eight weeks pregnant.


Blessings seem to be streaming in for the Bruwer household following the Boer Soek ‘n Vrou couple’s recent wedding.

According to Chereze, who turns 30 soon, the doctor confirmed on 16 February that she is pregnant. Niel (34) shared the wonderful news on Instagram over the weekend, saying: “There are no words to describe the excitement, the gratefulness and the great blessing. Thank you, Jesus that you have blessed us with this big gift so quickly.”

This follows Niel and Chereze’s beautiful, fairy tale wedding at Kaleo Guest Farm in the picturesque Koue Bokkeveld, Western Cape, on 15 January this year.

Talking to The Citizen, the parents-to-be said that it had been their decision from the start not to wait, as they had heard of so many people who struggle to fall pregnant for months, if not years. Niel says they agreed that “what will be, shall be” and Chereze added that in their case, they just happened to be very lucky.

She says that she feels very tired, but apart from that and the all-day queasiness, she is healthy and well.
