LIVING IN HER OWN SPOTLIGHT
Rachel Kolisi’s new look and attitude have convinced many of her supporters that she is finally living life out of the shadows of her husband, Siya Kolisi.

In a clip from Siya’s 2023 documentary Rise, Rachel Kolisi mentions Siya’s past struggles with alcohol, partying, and infidelity.

She said, “It’s like there were two other people. It was Siya, and then there was a horrible Siya. I was ready for a divorce. I was done, done, done.”

In the documentary, Siya also spoke about the side nobody knew – his heavy drinking, frequenting strip clubs, and reckless spending. The issues were also mentioned in his autobiography.
