RACHEL JOHN: ‘I LOOK JUST LIKE MY MOMMY’

Springboks captain Siya Kolisi is rumoured to be dating influencer Rachel John. Since fans identified her as the woman seated next to him at the ATP Tour Finals in Turin, many have been interested in the 25-year-old.

Rachel is half Dutch and half Nigerian. She shared some of her Nigerian roots through her food, when cooking Jollof rice for Siya and his brother. The influencer has now shared a photo of her mom Elske, who is Dutch. This was done using a viral sound which says “I look just like my mommy,” which many social media users hopped on, sharing photos of their moms.

“Who’d you get your looks from?” read the first slide.

“I look just like my mommy,” reads the second slide.

Take a look at the video here.

SIYA KOLISI AND RACHEL JOHN ROMANCE RUMOURS

The Springboks captain and Rachel sparked romance rumours in late 2025, when fans identified her as the woman sitting next to him at the ATP Tour Finals in Turin. Siya was also spotted at Rachel’s birthday celebration in Jeffrey’s Bay in late December.

Earlier this year, Siya and Rachel went on “baecation” to Victoria Falls. This was the same place Siya and estranged wife Rachel Kolisi went on their honeymoon in 2016. The pair did not share photos of or with each other in Victoria Falls. However, a fan spotted them together, boarding a cruise on the Zambezi River, confirming their romance. Rachel recently left back to her “home” in Amsterdam. In February, the pair were both in Los Angeles and New York together.

Siya was married to estranged wife Rachel Kolisi for eight years before they announced their split in October 2024. The pair have two beautiful children together – Nicholas (11) and Keziah (9). Rachel is currently on tour for her documentary and book titled Falling Forward. In a recent interview, Rachel opened up about having to ask Siya for money for “pads, tampons and shampoo.”
