DIVORCE AND DATING RUMOURS

Siya was married to Rachel Kolisi for eight years before they announced their split in a joint statement in October 2024.

The Springboks captain and his estranged wife have two children together – Nicholas (11) and Keziah (9).

Following the divorce, Siya has been rumoured to be dating Rachel John.

The rumours of romance began swirling when fans identified Rachel (John) as the woman sitting next to him at the recent ATP Tour Finals in Turin. 

Siya and Rachel went on vacation together to Victoria Falls in January, the same place as he and Rachel (Kolisi) went on their honeymoon in 2016.

Siya and Rachel (John) did not post photos of each other. However, a fan captured a video of them boarding the Zambezi cruise together, confirming that they were in fact together.
