RACHEL KOLISI’S ROADSHOW

In 2025, Rachel Kolisi announced that she will be releasing a documentary titled Falling Forward. She explained that the documentary is not about divorce. The mom of two has since shared what fans can expect from the Falling Forward screening. She explained that it is not just a screening, but a gathering.

“A space where women come together with intention. Where friends arrive, connect, and commit to growing forward together,” read the statement.

She also revealed that the screening comes with a powerful community of women sharing the same room, merch, check-in moments, a curated marketplace to support women-led start ups Rachel in person and more.

“Each city, each venue, each experience is thoughtfully designed to inspire connection, conversation, and courage,” read the statement.

This comes amid Rachel’s divorce from Springboks captain Siya Kolisi. The former couple were married for eight years and have two beautiful children together – Nicholas (11) and Keziah (9). Rachel and Siya announced their split via a joint statement in October 2024, shocking fans across the world.

Siya has since moved on with 25-year-old influencer Rachel John. Fans took to the comments section of Rachel’s post to send her messages of encouragement.

Rachel has just turned 36 and expressed how excited she is for this new year.
