Rachel Kolisi, the estranged wife of Springboks captain Siya Kolisi, has taken the spotlight as the cover star of Women’s Health Magazine for their March to April 2025 issue.

The magazine features Rachel in a striking swimsuit, alongside the empowering message, “ready for the next chapter.”

Behind the Scenes of the Photoshoot

In a post shared on social media, the magazine’s team shared their excitement about having Rachel grace the cover.

“@rachelkolisi, our cover star and South Africa’s darling, talks navigating change and her refreshed approach to health and wellbeing,” the caption reads, hinting at the inspiring content inside.

Fans were treated to a glimpse behind the scenes of the photoshoot in Cape Town, where Rachel shone with her natural beauty and strength.

“We’re out here counting ourselves lucky because @rachelkolisi is gracing our latest cover, ya’ll! Here’s what went down behind the scenes at our Cape Town shoot!” the post continued.

However, the magazine teased that the real details and insights are found inside the pages of the issue.

Embracing the Next Chapter

Rachel has always been vocal about her commitment to health and fitness, frequently sharing workout videos and snippets from her journey on Instagram.

Her posts not only highlight her dedication to a healthy lifestyle but also her ability to adapt and grow, which aligns perfectly with her message in the magazine’s issue.

The “next chapter” for Rachel is one of personal transformation.

In October 2024, she and Siya announced their split after eight years of marriage, leaving Rachel to navigate life as a single mother.

The couple shares two children—Nicholas, 10, and Keziah, 7—and Rachel’s journey as a single mom is now a central part of her life.

Coping With Change After the Split

Rachel recently shared a heartfelt post reflecting on her first Valentine’s Day without Siya.

The day, often a symbol of love and companionship, was especially emotional for her as she marked it as a new chapter in her life.
