He has not revealed information about his childhood and who his parents are. We also do not have details regarding his siblings and the schools he attended. However, we know that as early as the age of 19, he had already discovered his passion for playing rugby.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Derick Hougaard Became Karlien Van Jaarsveld&#8217;s Husband In 2013<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In 2013, the wedding of Derick Hougaard and Karlien Van Jaarsveld was the talk of the town. A renowned rugby player was getting married to a famous Afrikaans singer, and it was of interest to the media.<\/p>\n<p>Although they have not revealed details about how they met, we know that Karlien had initially called off the relationship after being engaged in August 2012. However, they later settled their differences and got married on the 8th of March 2013.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-245644 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BeFunky-collage-10.jpg\" alt=\"Derick Hougaard\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BeFunky-collage-10.jpg 696w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BeFunky-collage-10-260x173.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Their wedding was a festival of some sort that lasted for three days &#8211; Friday to Sunday &#8211; and it was attended by some renowned sports stars and celebrities in South Africa like Pedrie Wannenburg and Angelique Gerber. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacarandafm.com\/news\/entertainment\/karlien-and-derick-the-wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Karlien&#8217;s gown<\/a> was made by Anel Botha, one of South Africa&#8217;s top fashion designers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Their Marriage Was Blessed With Twins<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Not long after their wedding, Karlien and Derick welcomed a set of twins on the 19th of December 2018. They named their children Daniel and Elijah Hougaard. Unfortunately, their children were barely two years old when things started going south in their relationship. Their sons are currently 5 years old, and despite the failed relationship of their parents, both Derick and Karlien are grateful for having the twins.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Karlien and Derick Got Divorced In 2015<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In 2015, Karlien Van Jaarsveld took to social media to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/karlien-van-jaarsveld-derick-hougaard-split-181039862.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announce<\/a> to her fans and the public that her marriage with Derick Hougaard had ended. The proceeding was carried out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iol.co.za\/news\/south-africa\/gauteng\/quiet-divorce-for-karlien-and-derick-1925225\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quietly<\/a> at the Pretoria High Court, and as shocking as this was, there was no reason given for their divorce from the two-year marriage to former Springboks flyhalf, Derick Hougaard.<\/p>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/channel\/karlien-tells-huisgenoot-that-she-has-regrets-about-her-marriage-to-derick-20170602\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> with Huisgenoot magazine, she revealed that the divorce process was very painful for her. Although she gave no reasons for the divorce, she admitted that she had seen the red flags, which was why she called off their engagement initially.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Although the Process Was Quiet, the Aftermath of their Divorce Was Messy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It is true that the divorce between Derick Hougaard and Karlien Van Jaarsveld seemed to be an amicable one, but no sooner had the divorce been finalized in 2015 did controversy stir up between the two. In 2016, Derick requested that his now ex-wife, Karlien Van Jaarsveld, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/Channel\/derick-and-karliens-wedding-ring-drama-plays-out-on-social-media-20161003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sell their wedding ring<\/a>, which cost up to R100,000, so they can invest the money in their sons&#8217; future.<\/p>\n<p>Although Karlien did not respond, my mother, Ronel Brink, responded that she would ensure he gets his ring back, which led to a back and forth between the two on Twitter, with Derick suggesting that she should let Karlien do the talking.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/https:\/\/media.2oceansvibe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/derickkarlien.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-245645\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/derickkarlien-1.jpg\" alt=\"Derick Hougaard\" width=\"696\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/derickkarlien-1.jpg 696w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/derickkarlien-1-260x175.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Karlien Van Jaarsveld made a post on Instagram (which she has since deleted) claiming that her sons, Daniel and Elijah, had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.2oceansvibe.com\/2018\/12\/12\/derick-hougaard-and-ex-wife-karlien-van-jaarsveld-in-bitter-social-media-row\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gone missing<\/a>. She said they had gone to the Loftus Versfeld stadium with their father, but he was too drunk to cater to them, and now they were missing. She asked the public to her search for them.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Derick countered this claim with a picture post on Twitter which showed the boys sleeping soundly under sheets. In the caption, he wondered what the &#8216;chaos&#8217; about his missing children was when their grandmother (Karlien&#8217;s mom) had come to &#8216;grab&#8217; them from him.<\/p>\n<p>Karlien later announced that her sons had been found by her mother and were now safe. She also revealed that she was in Cape Town for work when she got a call from someone who told her that her husband was misbehaving in the stadium and was aware that he was with the boys as her nanny had told her that Derick had disappeared with the children.<\/p>\n<p>She said she was afraid for her children and had to raise an alarm.\u00a0It is noteworthy that since his marriage to Karlien Van Jaarsveld failed, he has been in other relationships, the most notable being his relationship with another Afrikaans singer, N\u00e1dine.<\/p>\n<p>His ex-wife, Karlien, has also found love again with another rugby star, Joe Breytenbach. Derick Hougaard may not have enjoyed a happy marriage, but he enjoyed a successful rugby career.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>At The Start Of His Career, He Broke Naas Botha&#8217;s 15 Years Record<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At the start of Derick&#8217;s career, he attracted a lot of attention to himself when he scored 26 points (5 penalties, 2 drop goals, and 1 try) at a Currie Cup final, breaking the 24 points record set by Naas Botha, an all-time great in South African rugby. This happened at the 2002 Currie Cup final, where his team, the Blue Bulls, played against the Golden Lions.<\/p>\n<p>Derick also had a ball-kicking skill at the start of his career, and combined with the record he broke, he earned accolades from coaches and pundits alike and was dubbed &#8220;Liefling van Loftus,&#8221; a statement in Afrikaans which means &#8220;Sweetheart of Loftus Versfeld Stadium&#8221; &#8211; which is a stadium in Pretoria.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>He Scored His First International Point In the 2003 Rugby World Cup<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Derick Hougaard played for the Springboks, the South African national rugby side, and was on the reserve team at the 2003 Rugby World Cup held in Australia. During the match against Uruguay at Subiaco Oval in Perth, Derick was brought in for his test debut, and he proved that he was ready to become a major part of the team by scoring his first international point.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/e0.365dm.com\/11\/11\/660x350\/derick-hougaard-sarries-AP-2011_2684855.jpg?20111130074910\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-245643 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/derick-hougaard-sarries-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/derick-hougaard-sarries-1.jpg 696w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/derick-hougaard-sarries-1-260x179.jpg 260w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/derick-hougaard-sarries-1-218x150.jpg 218w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After being a reserve for a while, he was promoted to play as the team&#8217;s flyhalf and became a starter for the Springboks.
