INSIDE THE ROMANCE RUMOURS BETWEEN SIYA KOLISI AND RACHEL JOHN

Siya and Rachel John sparked romance rumours in late 2025, when fans identified her as the woman sitting next to him at the recent ATP Tour Finals in Turin. The Springboks captain then fueled rumours of a romance between them when he commented on a photo of Rachel while she was in South Africa.

The former married couple have two children together – Nicholas (11) and Keziah (9). Siya and Rachel also adopted Siya’s two siblings – Liyema and Liphelo in 2014.

In 2024, Siya and his family returned to South Africa from Paris, France, where they lived for a year while Siya played for Paris-based rugby team Racing92. The rugby star then returned to The Sharks in Durban, where he has been living. While Rachel and the kids lived in Cape Town. In December, The Sharks announced that Siya will be leaving at the end of the season. He is set to join The Stormers in Cape Town.
