Proteas power-hitter David Miller had a different reason to celebrate this week, away from roaring stadiums. His son Benjamin, affectionately called Benji, turned one, and the Miller household overflowed with joy. Instead of crunching yorkers, Miller soaked in cuddles, giggles, and cake crumbs with his little champ.
Little Benji turns one
The milestone felt momentous for the couple, who welcomed Benji during a whirlwind chapter of Miller’s career. From Indian Premier League flights to international tours, baby Benji has already travelled this cricketing journey with his parents.
Now, as he turns one, the family paused to savour how much life changed in twelve months. Pictures from the celebration showed balloons, smiles, and a relaxed Miller swapping gloves for baby toys. The video captured cuddles, cake smashing, and Miller’s wide grin as Benji explored his birthday decorations.
Camilla’s heartfelt birthday tribute
Leading the tributes, Miller’s wife Camilla Harris Miller shared a touching video and message on Instagram for their boy. She called him “the light of our lives” and thanked God for the priceless gift of parenthood. Camilla gushed over his curious nature, his love for life, and his cheeky sense of humour.
She laughed that Benji is hilarious like his dad, yet mischievous like his mum. Her message ended with a promise to watch him grow into “a little champion” in years ahead. Fans flooded the comments with heart emojis, blessings, and playful predictions about another future Proteas star.
Balancing cricket stardom and fatherhood
Miller’s fans know him as the finisher who demolishes attacks in T20 leagues around the world. However, glimpses like this reveal another side, where bedtime stories replace boundary-hunting slog sweeps. The couple often shares family moments online, allowing supporters to see the man behind the match-winning cameos.
For many cricket lovers, Benji’s birthday post felt like another reminder that heroes also cherish ordinary joys. Between series, training, and travel, fatherhood now anchors Miller, giving fresh meaning to every run he scores. As little Benji turns one, fans of the South Africa national cricket team quietly cheer for this growing Miller team at home. For now, though, his biggest achievement remains lighting up his parents’ world with every smile.
