Life After Divorce: Co-Parenting with Love
Earlier this year, Siya and his wife, Rachel Kolisi, announced their divorce after more than a decade together. The couple, who tied the knot in 2016 after four years of dating, released a joint statement in October, describing their split as “mutual and amicable.”
“This decision comes from a place of love, respect, and understanding that this is the best path forward for both of us,” they shared.
While the reasons for their separation remain private, the Kolisis emphasized their commitment to co-parenting their four children and continuing the work of their joint foundation.
Kolisi recently returned to South Africa, rejoining the Sharks in September after cancelling a one-year contract with French side Racing.
