SIYA KOLISI’S ‘GIRLFRIEND’ TURNS 25
Springboks captain Siya Kolisi sparked romance rumours with influencer Rachel John, when fans identified her as the woman sitting next to him at the recent ATP Tour Finals in Turin. Siya then fueled rumours when he commented on a photo of Rachel while she was in South Africa.
This comes a year after Siya announced his split from estranged wife Rachel Kolisi. Siya and Rachel (Kolisi) were together for over a decade and were married for eight years before announcing their split. The pair have two children together – Nicholas (11) and Keziah (9).

“Waited all of 2025 for this,” she captioned the post.
RACHEL JOHN WANTED TO CELEBRATE HER BIRTHDAY IN SOUTH AFRICA
The now 25-year-old spent Christmas at her home in Amsterdam. She revealed that she was planning to return to South Africa for her birthday. Earlier this week, she shared a few photos from her early birthday celebration, where she revealed that she will be returning to South Africa for her birthday.
“Celebrated my birthday with my friends today. My birthday is in 4 days but I’m flying back to SA to celebrate it there,” she wrote.
Rachel is off Dutch and Nigerian descent. She calls Amsterdam home, but is believed to split her time between Amsterdam and South Africa, often in the Eastern Cape (Jeffreys Bay). However, it is unclear where she actually lives.
Siya lived in Durban for the last year as he played for Durban-based rugby team The Sharks. However, at the end of the season he will be moving to Cape Town to join The Stormers. Siya’s two kids live in Cape Town, with their mom Rachel Kolisi.
