The 38-year-old married South African model Alana Raffie (whom he met at a shop) in 2013.
The two got married in a secret ceremony held in August 2013 after dating for approximately six months. Alana and her husband managed to keep their relationship a secret until they announced it on social media in 2014.
Their family and friends who attended the wedding ceremony that was held just before the 2013 NRL grand final swore not to tell anyone about the wedding and even Sonny’s Roosters teammates, as well as his close buddy, Anthony Mundine, were left out.
Since tying the knot, Alana and Sonny stayed away from social media and even rejected an opportunity to get paid six figures by selling their wedding to television and glossy magazines.
The Williams’ have four children, daughters Iman and Aisha, and sons Zaid and Essa.
“Cape Town is my second home,” Williams said.
“Maybe one day my two boys might be playing in Green and Gold.
“They’ve told me that’s what they’d like.
“They love the Springboks.”
