CHESLIN KOLBE AND FAMILY LEAVE SA FOR FESTIVE SEASON
Layla Kolbe revealed that she, Cheslin and their three kids have landed in Japan via an Instagram post on Tuesday 2 December. She revealed that they will be missing a family wedding and the goodbyes are heavy, but they are settling in to Japan, where they will be spending their ninth festive season. Take a look..
“Japan take 3 🇯🇵. What a year in SA especially for the kids- beautiful friendships, teachers they adored, a sense of home and so many memories. Leaving that behind makes the goodbyes so much heavier,” she wrote.
“Missing a family wedding and being away for our 9th festive season are the harder parts of this rugby journey… but always grateful for the doors it opens too. Now we’re settling back in, jet lagged, awake at 1.30am and starving because our ‘dinner’ was actually breakfast according to our body clocks.
God bless another season in Japan. Psalm91:11 🙏🏽🙌🏽,” she continued.
WHY ARE THE KOLBE’S IN JAPAN?
Cheslin is and has been based in Tokyo, Japan. He plays for Tokyo Sungoliath in the Japan Rugby League One. While his wife and kids live in Cape Town, South Africa. Cheslin and Layla have three kids together – Kylah (6), Mila Sky (3) and Cayden (1). This year the family has been doing long distance while Cheslin is in Japan.
Just a few days ago, Layla shared a photo of their three kids smiling through their last day of school for this year. Take a look…
“Last day of school vs first day of 2025 🥺,” she wrote.
