Coincidence? Or soft-launch season part two?
Siya Kolisi & Rachel John’s LA Baecation Rumours Heat Up

One follower cheekily asked if she was “leaving Siya behind”. Well… plot twist. He’s there too.
The Springboks skipper dropped a star-studded photo dump from LA, posing alongside big international names like Ludacris and Sterling Brown. In the caption, Siya admitted he was fully in fan mode, calling the moment an unforgettable experience.
But here’s where it gets spicy…
Both Siya and Rachel shared Instagram Stories from a basketball game at the iconic Crypto.com Arena. Same venue. Same night. Same vibes.

Mzansi, are we reading too much into this — or exactly enough?

From Divorce Drama to New Romance?
Romance rumours first ignited in late 2025 when eagle-eyed fans spotted Rachel sitting next to Siya at the ATP Tour Finals in Turin. Since then, the pair have “randomly” appeared in the same cities more than once — including birthday celebrations in Jeffrey’s Bay.
Earlier this year, they were even reportedly seen together in Victoria Falls. While neither posted couple content, a fan claimed to have spotted them boarding a Zambezi River cruise together.
Soft launch after soft launch. No confirmation. No denial. Just vibes.
All of this unfolds while Siya is navigating a divorce from estranged wife Rachel Kolisi. The former couple, who were married for eight years and share two children, announced their split in October 2024 in a joint statement that shocked the nation.

Rachel Kolisi is currently focused on releasing her documentary and launching her upcoming book Falling Forward, while Siya seems to be embracing global travel, high-profile connections and, possibly, new love.
So, Mzansi… are Siya and Rachel John just in the same city? Or are we witnessing another international baecation in real time?
Do you think it’s too soon, or is it simply grown people living their best lives? Sound off below.
