Mom of two Rachel Kolisi has hit back at those who gossiped about her via an expressive Instagram Reel. Rachel, who is likely talking about her divorce, described this as one of the worst times of her life, and called those who gossiped instead of reaching out a “loser” in her story. Take a look…

“If you gossiped about how I handled one of the worst experienced one of the worst experiences of my life, instead of reaching out. You’re the loser in my story,” she wrote.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Rachel has been open about her split from Springboks captain Siya Kolisi on social media, in her documentary and book both titled Falling Forward. Although, she did not reveal what exactly caused the divorce, she did once hint at a “new person”.

Rachel and Siya have two children together – Nicholas (11) and Keziah (9). Siya has also moved on following their split. He is rumoured to be dating 25-year-old influencer Rachel John, who lives between the Netherlands and South Africa.

The Springboks captain and Rachel (John) sparked romance rumours in late 2025, when fans identified her as the woman sitting next to him at the ATP Tour Finals in Turin. Siya was also spotted at Rachel’s birthday celebration in Jeffrey’s Bay in late December.

Earlier this year, Siya and Rachel went on “baecation” to Victoria Falls. This was the same place Siya and estranged wife Rachel Kolisi went on their honeymoon in 2016. The pair did not share photos of or with each other in Victoria Falls. However, a fan spotted them together, boarding a cruise on the Zambezi River, confirming their romance. Rachel recently left back to her “home” in Amsterdam. In February, the pair were both in Los Angeles and New York together.

Rachel (John) has now returned to South Africa from the Netherlands and reunited with Siya.
