Rachel John shades Siya Kolisi’s ex?

Posted on November 26, 2025

Rachel John, the rumoured girlfriend of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, has seemingly thrown shade at his ex-wife, Rachel Kolisi, in a social media post.

The 24-year-old Dutch influencer has been linked to the athlete after they were spotted courtside together at a tennis match earlier this month. She’s also supported the rugby star at several matches.

This comes as Siya’s ex – who shares the same name – has seemingly reacted to their rumoured romance. She has also unfollowed a Springbok WAG who befriended the new woman.

RACHEL JOHN THROWS SHADE AT SIYA KOLISI’S EX?

In a recent TikTok video, Rachel John posted a clip of herself in the boxing ring. The 24-year-old is passionate about surfing, kickboxing, and philanthropy.

The video was set to a seemingly shady soundtrack: Gym Class Heroes’ Cupid’s Chokehold, which features the lyrics “Take a look at my girlfriend”.

Rachel – possibly throwing shade at Siya Kolisi’s ex, Rachel Kolisi – captioned the clip: “Just a girl that loves fighting”.

Rachel John’s post comes after Siya’s former wife posted an equally shady social media post, seemingly in response to rumours that he had moved on.

On her Instagram Stories, the mother of two shared a quote that read: “When God opens your eyes to something, it won’t always make people happy.

“Discernment disrupts conflict. Light reveals what darkness tries to protect.”

Another was a meme that read: “POV [Point of view]. Just here tryna decide if I’m gonna handle it like a Proverbs 31 woman or channel my inner Tupac”.

DID SHE CONFIRM THEIR ROMANCE?

On her Instagram account, Rachel John has been dropping hints seemingly confirming speculation about a romance with Siya Kolisi.

Without mentioning the Springboks, the 24-year-old revealed that she had flown to Dublin last week ahead of their match against Ireland.  She also posted pictures of her visiting an Irish pub, the same one several Springboks WAGs had visited on a girls’ night out.

Rachel supported Siya at the Aviva Stadium, but was cropped out of images posted by the players’ wives.

A few months ago, Rachel shared pictures of herself attending a Springboks game alongside her friend, Saskia Snyman, the wife of player RG Snyman. At the time, the Boks beat Argentina in Twickenham.

A few days later, Rachel teased her followers about “spoiling someone” with homemade matcha, a drink Siya Kolisi is often seen enjoying.

“You turn into a home cafe for your bf [boyfriend]”, she captioned the clip.

On her TikTok account, Rachel John has also teased a romance.

“No better feeling than knowing it’s time for a new season in your life”, she shared in a video clip after returning to South Africa.

”In another, she captioned a clip: “Just came back from a date”.
