This became clear when she reacted to Siya's Instagram post during his vacation with the kids in Zimbabwe last December. Since their separation, she has stopped interacting with his posts.

Rachel Kolisi remains focused on family

Despite her separation from Siya, Rachel has remained focused on her love for her family, highlighting this on her social media. She has shared several Instagram posts during the festive season, during which she spent most of her time with her children, including Siya's siblings, whom she adopted.

She celebrated her younger child's birthday in November by hiking with the kids. In December, they took a trip to Australia and enjoyed Christmas together. But, like many separated parents, the dynamics of co-parenting kicked in. Rachel's feelings were evident in her Instagram post, where she reflected on her first holiday and New Year alone, without her children, who were with Siya during their trip to Zimbabwe.
