Siya Kolisi’s ‘New Bae’ Rachel John Shades Rachel In War Declaring Video?

South African entertainment streets are buzzing! It looks like there may officially be two Rachels and one Siya Kolisi, and the “new girl” is not exactly keeping things low-key.
Dutch influencer Rachel John (24) — the woman rumoured to be getting cosy with Springbok captain Siya Kolisi — has seemingly thrown some major shade at his ex-wife, Rachel Kolisi, and the internet is living for the drama.
‘Just a Girl Who Loves Fighting’ — Rachel John’s Shady Boxing Post
In a spicy TikTok video posted recently, Rachel John is seen serving kicks and punches in a boxing ring — you know, just casual girly things when you’re rumoured to be dating South Africa’s most famous athlete. But it’s the SOUNDTRACK that got everyone screaming.
The clip is set to Gym Class Heroes’ “Cupid’s Chokehold”, the one with the lyrics: “Take a look at my girlfriend.” Coincidence? The streets don’t think so.

Girl… fighting WHO exactly?

This little jab comes right after rumours exploded about Rachel and Siya’s connection — and right after Siya’s ex posted her own cryptic messages. Coincidence? Highly unlikely.

While Rachel John is mixing beats with boxing gloves, Rachel Kolisi — the OG Rachel — took a different route: spiritual shade.
On her Instagram Stories, she dropped the following bomb:
“When God opens your eyes to something, it won’t always make people happy. Discernment disrupts conflict. Light reveals what darkness tries to protect.”
Then she followed it up with a meme that had Mzansi screaming:
“POV: Just here tryna decide if I’m gonna handle it like a Proverbs 31 woman or channel my inner Tupac.”

Rachel John and Siya Kolisi Spark Romance Rumours
Rachel John has been dropping breadcrumb clues. Without naming names, she revealed she flew to Dublin right before the Bok match against Ireland — and posted pics at the same pub where other Springbok WAGs were hanging out.
Did they crop her out of photos? Yes.
Did that stop the rumour mill? Absolutely not.
She was also spotted courtside at a tennis match with Siya earlier this month. Fans didn’t miss it. They never do.
A few months ago, she attended a Springbok game with Saskia Snyman, wife of RG Snyman — and the girlies have been whispering ever since.
And the matcha? Oh, the matcha.
Rachel posted a clip of herself making a fancy homemade version with the caption: “You turn into a home café for your bf.”
Besties, who is drinking that matcha? Because Siya Kolisi is famous for sipping exactly that.
On TikTok, Rachel also posted: “No better feeling than knowing it’s time for a new season in your life.”
Then another video? “Just came back from a date.”
Rachel, please — we can only scream so much.
South Africa, what do we think? Is this a full-on love triangle, a soft launch gone spicy, or is Rachel John just vibing while the rest of us spiral? Drop your thoughts, memes, conspiracy theories and your favourite Rachel vs Rachel jokes. We’re listening.
