South Africans are rallying behind Rachel Kolisi after she broke her silence on her divorce from Springboks captain, Siya Kolisi via an Instagram post on Saturday 2 November.
RACHEL KOLISI BREAKS SILENCE ON DIVORCE
In October, Siya and Rachel Kolisi shocked Mzansi when they announced that they are ending their marriage after eight years. The pair have two children together – Nicholas (10) and Keziah (7). The pair revealed that they will remain great friends as they co-parent their two children with the loce they have always known.
“We wanted to share some important news with you. After much reflection and open conversations, we have mutually decided to end our marriage,” read the joint statement.
“This decision comes from a place of love, respect and understanding that this is the best path forward for both of us. While our relationship as a couple is changing, we remain great friends and committed partners in raising our children with the same love and care they’ve always known,” read the joint statement.
About two weeks later, Rachel has now broke her silence on her split from Siya. She has shared an Instagram post reflecting on the decision to end their marriage and thanked everyone for their love.
Rachel shared a photo along with the post. Take a look…
“This is so hard. I have genuinely been overwhelmed by kindness and love and I’m so grateful.
