Months after allegedly confessing to cheating on his wife Angelique Gerber, former Springboks rugby player Jacques Potgieter is posing up a storm with his new lover…

Jacques – who previously played for the Bulls, and now the Cheetahs – and his actress spouse are reportedly set for a divorce following an alleged cheating scandal.

In July 2022, Jacques posted a series of Instagram Stories claiming he had been unfaithful to his wife. However, the athlete later claimed his account was “hacked.”

Jacques and Angelique – a former 7de Laan actress – wed in 2016 and are parents to three young children.

According to News24, Jacques Potgieter posted a series of IG Stories alleging he had cheated on his wife with several female students. The posts also alleged that the ex-Springboks player asked the young women to send him explicit photos.

At the same time, a cryptic post appeared on Angelique Gerber’s IG, stating: “The truth always comes out.”

But the athlete denied he had done so, insisting that a hacker was to blame. He also assured the publication that the accusations about his marriage and alleged affairs were false.

Angelique posted an apology on her account, stating: “I want to apologise for the inappropriate posts that included me and which were posted without my consent.

“It was deeply upsetting to me. My legal team is in the process of investigating the matter.”
