‘A day of grief’: Ex-Springboks WAG Rachel Kolisi’s details her ‘complicated’ Mothers’ Day

Since her split from rugby icon Siya Kolisi, Rachel has weathered an emotional storm. She’s shared her struggles openly. The pain of divorce has been raw and visible.

Mothering through grief and change hasn’t been easy. This Mother’s Day, Rachel reminded the world that not all celebrations are joyful. While others posted cheerful tributes and flowers, Rachel reflected something deeper.

Her silence from Siya only amplified the weight of the day. Once a celebrated rugby WAG, she now walks through healing alone.

Despite the spotlight, her emotions remain valid. Rachel’s journey reflects many mothers’ hidden pain today.

Ex-Springboks WAG Rachel Kolisi’s Mothers’ Day

Rachel Kolisi reshared a post that carried the voice of many silent hearts. The message described Mother’s Day as complex. For some, it’s joy. For others, it’s longing, ache, and grief.

The post honoured all types of mothers—biological, adoptive, foster, and spiritual. It offered comfort to those grieving children or estranged from family. Rachel’s choice to reshare this was telling. It was her way of saying, “I see you, I feel this too.” While most basked in love, she processed pain.

Siya remained silent online, adding to the tension. Rachel’s day wasn’t marked with flowers or fanfare. It was heavy. It was real. Her courage to speak through shared words touched many. This Mother’s Day, Rachel wasn’t celebrating. She was surviving.

When Rachel and Siya Enjoyed Life

There was a time when Siya and Rachel Kolisi were the picture of happiness. They laughed, travelled, and parented as a strong team.

From romantic holidays to family walks, their life glowed online. If they were still together, Mother’s Day would’ve been different. Siya might’ve posted a heartfelt tribute.

The kids could’ve brought her breakfast in bed. Joy would’ve filled the Kolisi household. But life has changed. And Rachel now faces special days with courage, not comfort.
