Cape Town – Springbok captain Siya Kolisi and Dutch influencer Rachel John have set social media buzzing after both were spotted in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, prompting fresh speculation about their relationship.

The pair shared glimpses of their trip on their respective Instagram Stories, prompting fans to wonder whether this is a coordinated getaway rather than a coincidence.

Siya, who recently announced he will move from the Sharks to the Stormers at the end of the season, posted clips from the famous falls, including one set to the song Rise Up by Yves LaRock.

Shortly after, Rachel John also shared photos from Zimbabwe, intensifying speculation about their connection.

Romance rumours between Kolisi and John first gained traction in late 2025, after they were photographed together courtside at the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy — a moment widely shared on social platforms and reported as igniting speculation.

Since then, Siya has reportedly interacted with John’s posts using heart emojis and fans have pieced together overlapping travel and social media activity suggesting a possible relationship.

Siya and his ex-wife, Rachel Kolisi, officially announced the end of their eight-year marriage in October 2024. At the time, they released a joint statement saying they had decided to separate after “much reflection and open conversations”, framing their split as amicable and emphasising a shared commitment to co-parenting their children Nicholas and Keziah.
