A Mutual Decision for Change
In their heartfelt statement, the Kolisis explained that their decision to separate is “the best path forward” for both of them, emphasizing that they intend to maintain a close partnership as co-parents and collaborators through The Kolisi Foundation. “We ask for privacy during this time,” they shared, requesting public understanding as they navigate this personal transition.
Financial and Foundation Partnership
With a net worth exceeding £10 million, Kolisi's wealth will be equally divided with Rachel, who will also continue to hold a significant stake in The Kolisi Foundation. Jokingly, if the Rugby World Cup-winning captain’s medals were split between them, Rachel would still possess more titles than Ireland, Wales, and Scotland combined.
United in Purpose
Though separated, Siya and Rachel will continue their shared commitment to The Kolisi Foundation, which works to uplift communities and support underprivileged South Africans. Their dedication to the foundation showcases a united front in their mission, despite taking different paths in their personal lives.
A Public Story with a Private Heart
The Kolisis’ split highlights the pressures on public figures balancing family life with fame. Their story has sparked a wave of reactions from fans, who have taken to social media to share thoughts and show support for the couple. As they begin this new chapter, Siya and Rachel are likely to remain significant figures in South African life and philanthropy, even as they face the challenges of personal change.
rom Newlands to the Vineyards
Siya and Rachel first crossed paths in May 2012 at a dinner party after a rugby match at Newlands Stadium. Their romance blossomed, and on 13 August 2016, they got married at the stunning Molenvliet Wine Estate, near Stellenbosch, surrounded by vineyards and oak trees. Now, after more than a decade together, they are embarking on separate paths but remain dedicated to their family and shared causes.
