Rumours swirl about Siya Kolisi’s new romance as he leads Ireland

Springbok captain Siya Kolisi is rumoured to be entangled in new romance after he was seen getting close with popular Dutch content creator, Rachel John.

Siya and the 24-year-old model, Rachel, were first seen sitting next to each other at the ATP year-end tournament between Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and Canadian Félix Auger-Aliassime in Turin. They were accompanied by Siya’s close friends and teammates, Eben Etzebeth and RG Snyman, as well as Snyman’s wife, Saskia.

With the recent match where South Africa was tackling Ireland, many wondered if Rachel John will go to the stadium to support or not.

Meanwhile, online reports emerged that Rachel Kolisi has unfollowed fellow Springbok WAG, Saskia Snyman on Instagram. The pair previously followed one another and frequently interacted on the platform. Rachel Kolisi was known to like Saskia’s posts, while Saskia often left supportive comments on Rachel Kolisi’s content. Rumours are swirling that it may have to do with the alleged new woman in Siya’s life.

The alleged new lover, Rachel John, is a competitive kickboxer and an avid surfer. With a social media presence – built largely following through her wellness, travel and fitness content – she has over a million followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Siya and his estranged wife announced their divorce in October 2024, leaving many shocked and wondering what could be the reason. The pair share two children together, and have adopted Siya’s siblings as their own.

With the possibility of Siya moving on with his life, South Africans are torn as some hoped that Siya and Rachel Kolisi would get back together.
