Posted on January 14, 2026

Rachel Kolisi has seemingly thrown subtle shade at her ex-spouse, Siya Kolisi, who has embarked on a relationship with a new woman, who happens to share her name.

This comes days after the Springbok captain went public with his relationship with Dutch influencer Rachel John, who is a decade his junior.

The former couple split in late 2024, after having two children and being married for eight years.

RACHEL KOLISI SHADES SIYA ROMANCE?

On her social media platform, Rachel Kolisi has posted several posts hinting at her state of mind.

On Instagram, she included several cryptic quotes, seemingly reacting to Siya Kolisi’s new romance.

They read:

“Take it personal, at this age, trust me, people know what they are doing.”

“It’s not silence rooted in fear, it’s restraint birthed in reverence. It’s not neutrality, it’s intercessio.n”

“How blessed am I to be misunderstood and unmoved”.

IS THIS THE FUTURE MAKOTI?

Meanwhile, many South Africans have flooded Rachel John’s social media platforms to praise the new woman in Siya Kolisi’s life.

The 25-year-old Dutch influencer is currently heading up a surfing charity in Jeffrey’s Bay, where she works with underprivileged youth.

Phindile Nkosi: “She is not even trying, but she is likeable.”

Chantel Nicole Solomons: “You’re growing on us now.”

Mbali YesisweL: “Makoti Siyamthanda”

Others called out the new woman in Siya’s life.

TikToker Gillian Carelse called John out for “trampling” on Rachel Kolisi’s grief.

“It’s been a year [since their split], and there is no timeline that we should be governed by. But I think it’s the most inconsiderate thing to be out here in a new relationship.

“The new lady looks like such an amazing person, if you look at her social media. How is someone so amazing be willing to trample all over somebody’s hurt?

“[It] must be so painful for Rachel. Can you imagine the heartbreak she lives with every day?”
