Rachel Kolisi Heads To Paris As Siya Celebrates 100th Test: Could It Be A Family Reunion?

Rachel Kolisi has stirred up a storm of speculation online after sharing that she and her family have landed in France just days before her ex-husband, Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, reaches a major career milestone.

A Trip To The ‘City Of Love’

Rachel and her two children, Nicholas and Keziah, as well as Siya’s sister Liphelo are currently in Paris ahead of the Springboks’ much-anticipated clash against France at the Stade de France this Saturday, 8 November. The match marks Siya’s 100th Test cap a proud milestone for the Zwide-born skipper who has become one of South Africa’s most beloved sports icons.

On TikTok, Rachel hinted at attending the game when she revealed four Springbok jerseys neatly laid out one for each family member. She didn’t confirm whether she’d be at the match, but that didn’t stop fans from reading between the lines.

One follower wrote, “It’s 100 caps for the Captain. The family going out there to support him. Thanks, Rachel, for supporting the father of your kids.” Another added, “A wonderful mom. She never deprives her kids from watching their dad play.”

The Kolisis Return To France

The family’s trip marks an emotional return to France, the country that hosted the 2023 Rugby World Cup where Siya led the Springboks to back-to-back titles. During that time, Rachel often shared moments of pride and prayer online, including a now-famous caption that read, “Thank you, Jesus. A miracle.”

This Paris visit comes a year after the couple publicly announced their separation, making the possibility of them reuniting in the “City of Love” all the more poignant. While neither has spoken about the rumours, their shared commitment to family and mutual respect continues to resonate with South Africans who’ve followed their story since Siya’s rise from the Eastern Cape to rugby glory.

Siya Kolisi’s 100th Test: A Milestone In Green And Gold

If selected, Siya will become only the ninth player to reach 100 Test caps for South Africa joining rugby greats like Victor Matfield, Bryan Habana, Tendai Mtawarira, John Smit, Jean de Villiers, Percy Montgomery, Willie le Roux, and fellow teammate Eben Etzebeth, who remains the most capped Bok with over 138 appearances.

For many fans, Siya’s milestone represents more than just personal achievement it’s a celebration of resilience, leadership, and unity that embodies what the Springboks stand for.

Love, Legacy, And Support

Whether or not Rachel appears in the Stade de France stands this weekend, her quiet presence in Paris speaks volumes. In a world that often thrives on celebrity drama, her choice to show up for family even post-divorce is being celebrated as a reminder that love can evolve without bitterness.

As one South African fan put it on X, “Rachel Kolisi is showing us that grace and maturity are still powerful forms of love.”

With Siya’s 100th Test on the horizon and Rachel in the same city, it seems the Kolisi story continues to capture hearts both on and off the field.
