Fans thought this was Rachel’s post-divorce glow. She was previously married to Springboks captain Siya Kolisi for eight years. Rachel Siya have two children together – Nicholas (11) and Keziah (8). Siya and Rachel also legally adopted his two siblings Liyema and Liphelo, when they were younger back in 2014. Siya shares a mother with his two siblings, who tragically passed away.

The siblings were orphaned following the passing of their mother in 2009 and spent years in foster care before Siya located them and brought them into his home.

The adoption was a major milestone for the family, with Rachel stepping into a primary parenting role at just 24 years old while simultaneously welcoming their first born Nicholas. The Kolisis raised the four children together until Siya and Rachel announced their divorce in October 2024. Siya has since moved on with 25-year-old influencer Rachel John.
