Rachel Kolisi, the estranged wife of Springboks captain Siya Kolisi, publicly addressed the widespread gossip surrounding her divorce, sharing her sentiments in an expressive Instagram Reel on Tuesday, April 14. This public statement comes amidst what Rachel described as one of the most challenging periods of her life.

In her Instagram story, Rachel, a mother of two, directly confronted those who chose to gossip about her situation instead of offering support. She wrote, "If you gossiped about how I handled one of the worst experiences of my life, instead of reaching out. You’re the loser in my story." This message powerfully conveyed her frustration and disappointment with the public's reaction to her personal struggles.

Rachel has maintained an open dialogue about her separation from Siya Kolisi across various platforms, including her social media channels, her documentary, and her book, both titled "Falling Forward." While she has not explicitly detailed the exact reasons for the divorce, she previously hinted at the involvement of a "new person" in their lives. Rachel and Siya share two children: Nicholas, aged 11, and Keziah, aged 9.

Reports suggest that Siya Kolisi has also moved on following their split. He is currently rumoured to be dating Rachel John, a 25-year-old influencer who divides her time between the Netherlands and South Africa. The romance rumours between the Springboks captain and Rachel John first emerged in late 2025, when fans spotted her sitting beside him at the ATP Tour Finals in Turin. Further confirmation of their connection came when Siya was observed attending Rachel John's birthday celebration in Jeffrey's Bay in late December.
