As speculation mounts regarding Siya Kolisi's private life, fans have been offering messages of support and comfort to Rachel Kolisi amidst the growing public interest.
The support began after a TikTok video of Rachel went viral. In the clip, she is seated at the beach, looking out at the water in quiet reflection.
She added the song “Rescue” by Lauren Daigle and captioned it “Falling Forward.”
The phrase “falling forward” refers to a mindset that sees setbacks as a chance to grow. Instead of stepping back when life becomes difficult, the idea suggests using hard moments as lessons that support future progress.
Many viewers took the message to heart and reached out with words of encouragement. One user, Whitjac, wrote, “Healing does not have to be silent. Thank you for being vulnerable with us.”
Sunflower added a longer message about the pressures many women face.
She wrote, “For those being critical. Shame you do not understand. It is deeper than a failed marriage. Rachel is representing millions of women who build with a man, support him and raise his kids. But still, it is not enough for most men."
"She did everything right, but still, she needs to heal and pick up the pieces. It is emotional intelligence to understand this. So sorry, Rachel. You and all women never deserved this. But be assured. God has great things in store for you.”
Another follower, Anthea, wrote, “You are loved. You are kind. You are worthy. You are beautiful. You are strong. May God bring peace to your heart day by day. Here is your crown along with a big hug.”
These messages follow reports that Siya may be in a new relationship with Rachel John.
On Saturday, November 15, he attended the ATP final with close friends Eben Etzebeth and RG Snyman.
Seated next to Snyman’s wife, Saskia, was John. A short clip of the group sharing a light moment was posted on the ATP X account, which led to wide speculation.
Soon after the footage spread, reports claimed that Rachel had unfollowed Saskia on Instagram.
A check of both accounts by “Independent Media Lifestyle” showed that Rachel does not follow Saskia, while Saskia follows her.

The Kolisis announced their divorce in October 2024. They share two children, Nicholas and Keziah, who turned eight on Sunday, November 23.
Despite their separation, the pair have spoken about a commitment to co-parenting. Earlier this month, Rachel travelled with the children to Paris, France, to support Siya during his 100th Test.
Both parents continue to place their children at the centre of major moments in their lives.
