Siya Kolisi’s girlfriend, Rachel John, has hinted about their romance after leaving the country to return to her home in the Netherlands.
The 25-year-old Dutch influencer, who is a decade younger than the Springbok captain, has vowed to come back to South Africa in the near future.
The couple have kept their relationship private, despite the public’s prying eyes.
RACHEL JOHN LEAVES SA, HINTS AT SIYA KOLISI ROMANCE
On her TikTok account, Rachel John shared a clip of her leaving South Africa to return to the Netherlands.
The surf instructor, who is also an amateur boxer, gave her followers a glimpse of Siya Kolisi, who drove her to the airport.
She shared: “I don’t want to go home after spending two months in South Africa. Leaving this time felt especially hard. I am heartbroken”.
When one follower asked what would happen to her relationship with Siya, she responded: “Good question”, alongside a crying face emoji.

LONG DISTANCE ROMANCE?
With Rachel John out of the country, likely due to a short visa-free stay, it’s unclear if she will pursue a long-distance relationship with Siya Kolisi.
The Springboks captain will officially rejoin the Stormers in July, where he will be permanently based in Cape Town.
Siya claims the move from the Sharks to his old club is driven by his desire to be closer to his children, whom he shares with ex Rachel Kolisi.
The couple officially split in late 2024, with Siya’s new romance with a woman who shares the same name as his ex, making headlines a year later.
