Rachel Kolisi hints at a new chapter after divorce
South African sports and lifestyle circles are buzzing after Rachel Kolisi shared a TikTok video hinting she may be ready to move forward following her public divorce from Springbok captain Siya Kolisi.
The mother-of-two, who has been navigating heartbreak and personal growth in the spotlight, posted a clip of herself riding a horse along the beach. Across the video, words appeared:
“Beautiful things happen when you stop making yourself smaller to fit into places you’ve outgrown.”
The post was set to Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need,” a song celebrating self-respect and the courage to demand love and care from a partner.

Reflections on heartbreak and betrayal
This isn’t the first time Rachel has opened up about her emotional journey. A previous TikTok post explored the raw effects of betrayal trauma, using a vivid metaphor: being pushed from an airplane without a parachute while your partner watches. The narration detailed feelings of shattered trust, self-worth, and the disorientation of navigating love after betrayal.
Social media users quickly connected with her words, with many applauding her honesty and vulnerability. The posts reflect a woman who is reclaiming her voice and personal agency, sending a message that healing is a process — and that she is taking the reins.
