‘You believed in your ex 25 times’

Springbok captain Siya Kolisi has been on the receiving end of a series of brutal social media attacks from his ex-wife Rachel, following their highly publicized divorce in October 2024.

Rachel Kolisi, the ex-wife of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, has appeared to aim digs at the rugby star following their highly-publicized divorce.

Rachel and Siya announced their divorce last October, a decision that shocked their fans, since they had been one of South Africa’s power couples and were doing great work through their Siya and Rachel Kolisi Foundation.

The two have two children Nicholas and Keziah, who are under the custody of Rachel, although Siya visits them on occasions.

South Africa’s prominent couple Siya and Rachel Kolisi announced their mutual separation pledging continued partnership in co-parenting and charity.


As they continue to navigate through their divorce, it seems the wounds are still fresh going by Rachel’s recent social media posts.

“You deserve to be loved and chosen. Not almost loved and almost chosen. Stay away from people who act like a victim in a problem they created,” Rachel posted on Instagram, seemingly explaining the kind of treatment she received from her ex-husband.

“If you ended the cycle of giving second chances that only left you in second place, you should be ridiculously proud of yourself,” she added, casting doubt on any reunion with Siya.


She went on: “Let the kids believe in Santa. You believed in your ex 25 times.”

The comments left fans speculating why Rachel went on the social media rant but it appears she has perhaps not been impressed by something from her ex-husband, with the mention of Santa pointing to something that could have happened during the festive season.

Rachel and Siya have not yet made public the reasons for their divorce which is set to see the two-time Rugby World Cup winner lose half of his £10 million fortune
