Cape Town – Speculation is mounting that Springbok captain Siya Kolisi may be dating Rachel John, after the pair were spotted together at a high-profile tennis event in Italy.
A video circulating online shows Siya sitting close to Rachel during a match in Turin, with her leaning in toward him at one point, sparking excitement among fans who quickly noticed their chemistry.
Another clip caught attention for what viewers are calling a playful “dance-off” between the two as the cameras swept across the crowd.

Fans reacted instantly, with one viewer saying, “The way she’s leaning in… this isn’t just friendly.” Another added, “Siya looks happy. Let the man move on.”
The sighting has raised eyebrows mainly because of the timing. Siya recently finalised his separation from his ex-wife, and now he’s been spotted with someone new — who also happens to share the same first name. This coincidence had social media running wild, with users joking, “Siya said the name must stay the same.”
Rachel John didn’t shy away from the moment either. She was seen laughing, engaging warmly with Siya, and even chatting with some of the people seated around them — a sign, fans suggest, that she may already be comfortable in his circle.
Neither Siya nor Rachel has confirmed the nature of their relationship, but the public appearance has left supporters convinced that something is brewing. As one fan put it, “Where there’s smoke, there’s Siya.”
