Rachel Kolisi Shares Empowering Quotes and Reflects on New Beginnings After Divorce
Rachel Kolisi recently took to Instagram to share a series of quotes that have captured attention, sparking curiosity about whether some of the messages might be aimed at her estranged husband, Siya Kolisi. The 34-year-old appears to be embracing her “revenge era” and openly celebrating her journey of self-discovery as she navigates life as a single woman.
In a post featuring 12 slides, Rachel shared a range of empowering quotes, many of which resonate with the themes of self-love, personal growth, and moving forward after a difficult relationship. One of the quotes read: “You deserve to be loved and chosen – not almost loved or almost chosen.” Another emphasized the importance of letting go: “If you ended the cycle of giving second chances that only left you in second place, you should be ridiculously proud of yourself.”

The final quote, however, seemed to hit particularly close to home, with a line that many believe could be directed at Siya Kolisi: “Let the kids believe in Santa. You believed in your ex 25 times.”
Rachel’s Instagram post follows a period of significant change in her personal life, as she and Siya Kolisi announced their divorce in October 2024. The joint statement shocked fans, marking the end of their high-profile marriage. Since the announcement, Rachel has been candid about her emotional journey and has continued to share glimpses into her evolving life.
Over the festive season, Rachel took the opportunity to embark on a solo vacation to Botswana, a trip she had dreamed of for many years. Reflecting on her experience, Rachel posted a heartfelt message: “I’m in the process of getting divorced and co-parenting my kids. This was my first New Year without my kids, so instead of sitting home alone, I did my dream trip this new year. Thank you, Botswana — you have a big piece of my heart. I arrived sad and alone, and left with a full heart and new friends.”
Meanwhile, Siya spent time with the couple’s children in Zimbabwe, continuing his role as a devoted father amidst the changes in their personal lives.
Rachel’s public reflections and her decision to take a solo trip are just the latest in a series of steps she has taken toward healing and embracing her independence. With her empowering quotes and newfound sense of self, she is showing the world that she is ready to step into this new chapter of her life with confidence.
While the divorce has been a challenging chapter for both Rachel and Siya Kolisi, Rachel’s openness about her journey of personal growth and empowerment offers a powerful message of resilience and transformation.
