RACHEL KOLISI: ‘THE KIDS ARE LEAVING TOMORROW’
It seems this year their kids are spending Christmas with their dad. Rachel Kolisi, the estranged wife of Springboks captain Siya Kolisi, shared a few photos from her “early Christmas” celebration with her two kids, and Siya’s two siblings.
Siya and Rachel have two children together – Nicholas (11) and Keziah (9). The former married couple also legally adopted Siya’s two siblings Liyema and Liphelo, when they were younger and raised them as their own. Despite the split, Rachel maintained a strong relationship with Liyema and Liphelo.
Taking to Instagram, she expressed that she was grateful to have all four of them together. The celebration included Rachel’s brother Joel Smith and his wife, olympic swimmer Tatjana Smith. Siya reportedly unfollowed Tatjana on social media.

“Christmas 2025 ❤️. We celebrated a few days earlier this year, the kids are leaving tomorrow. So grateful I had all 4 together for the day!” she wrote.
“Hope you all have a beautiful time celebrating this festive season,” she continued.
