The first of AB de Villiers' kids already found playmates in his father’s teammates’ kids when he was just a couple of months old. It was more like a playdate for the fathers and a day off for their wives, as AB took to his social media to upload this picture with the caption “The ladies are having fun back home!”
Amidst his busy schedule, the cricketer made sure to spend the first Christmas with his newborn together as a family.

As a first-time dad, AB has always proven to be pretty hands-on with his daddy duties. Abraham also accompanied his father to India for IPL 2016 when he was a little under a year old. He has been a regular spectator of the IPL matches ever since, and currently is one of the biggest fans of RCB skipper Virat Kohli. In an Instagram live chat with Kohli, AB revealed how fond his sons are of the Indian cricketer and how they get excited every time his name is mentioned.

Before his birth, AB de Villiers had shared how he wanted to name his second-born ‘Taj’ after the monument in India where he had made his marriage proposal to his wife. The Proteas player has never shied away from sharing his love for the country. His bond with the place grew even stronger ever since he was picked by the RCB franchise.

Yente de Villiers
In November 2020, John lost his position as the youngest person in the Villiers household to his little sister, when the cricketer and his wife brought home their newest addition — a cute little angel called Yente de Villiers. The couple took to their social media accounts to share the happy news with their fans. The post now has over 1.6 million likes.

AB was in UAE for IPL 2020 until the first week of November as RCB crashed out in the eliminator. He then sprinted back home to be with his family post the tournament.

Ever since the arrival of their second child, the couple has stopped sharing images of their children where their faces could be seen. In the age of social media, celebs both do and don’t have authority over their pictures. Hence, the couple has not completely refrained from sharing pictures of AB de Villiers' children but choose not to show their faces.
