Jessica Motaung, Zozi roped into Siya Kolisi split news

JESSICA NKOSI, ZOZI PICS TREND ON SOCIAL MEDIA

On the X app, Rachel and Siya Kolisi’s divorce announcement – and what could possibly have led to it – have been making headlines.

Many have speculated that the Springboks captain may have cheated on Rachel, the mother of his two children.

Others have reposted images of female celebs Siya Kolisi has been photographed with, with unspoken insinuations.

One involves Siya’s meeting with Kaizer Chiefs marketing director Jessica Motaung last year. The rugby star and the soccer guru were seen embracing in viral pics taken at MultiChoice City following the Rugby World Cup squad announcement.

According to X users, Siya and 50-year-old Jessica got a little too close for comfort, with the latter posing in one pic with her hands on his chest, and in another, looking adoringly into his eyes.

Others have name-dropped Zozi Tunzi, whom Siya shared an affectionate moment with at OR Tambo following the Boks’ return from their 2019 World Cup win.

The duo – who both hail from the Eastern Cape – were the topic of much social media speculation despite Siya being a married man.

Others even mentioned influencer Zuki Lamani, whose 2019 post about Siya had his wife Rachel Kolisi fuming.

SIYA KOLISI’S ADMITS TO STRUGGLING IN MEMOIR

Meanwhile, excerpts of Siya Kolisi’s 2023 autobiography, Rise, have resurfaced on social media.

In various passages, the Springboks captain alludes to living a fast lifestyle, which includes heavy drinking and visiting strip clubs.

He also reflected that much of this had been done whilst he was playing away from home.

He shared: “I was struggling with a lot of things; temptations, sins, lifestyle choices. I struggled with porn too, like many men”.

In another passage, he added: “I was often away travelling and playing. So, half the time, they were on their own with Rachel. For a while she carried that, and lots of other things, alone in our relationship. Hell, I was hard to be around sometimes.

“There were times in the early days when Rachel would have to pay for our dates because I’d spent all my money on alcohol, and this was when I was getting paid good money as a pro player.

“I was a bad drunk – not violent –  but prone to getting so wasted that I’d pass out in the street. I’d get arrested and then wake up in a police cell with no idea of how I’d got there or even which police station I was in. I had too much fame and money before I had the character to handle them”.
