Why Rachel Kolisi Took The Children to France
Only weeks after announcing her split from Siya, Rachel revealed on her Instagram Stories that she took their two kids, Nicholas (10) and Keziah (7), back to Paris. The move is intended to give the kids a chance to say goodbye to their friends and teachers, as the family hadn’t anticipated not returning when they left in July. At that time, Siya was still playing for the Paris-based rugby team Racing 92.

A Hectic Journey
Rachel described a chaotic start to their travel day on Tuesday, 12 November, when they faced hurdles getting from London to Paris.
“Very interesting start in London this morning. Landed in London from SA last night, up at 04:30 to make (an) early flight to Paris. Couldn’t get on the flight, took a 1.5 hour taxi to the train station, paid a small fortune for our tickets. But we all stayed calm, laughed at how ridiculous this morning has been and kept it moving,” she wrote.
Explaining the purpose of their visit to Paris, Rachel wrote,
“I’m taking them to Paris so they can say goodbye to all their friends and teachers. We didn’t know we weren’t coming back when we left in July – important they get to have closure too.”
