Rachel Kolisi Celebrates Early Christmas With Her Family, Fans React “Beautiful Family”

• Rachel Kolisi shared on IG that she had an early Christmas celebration with her family
• Kolisi stated in her post that the kids would be leaving soon, which explained why the family celebrated early
• Fans praised her for holding it down for her family after her public split from Siya Kolisi

Rachel Kolisi spent quality time with her family, celebrating an early Christmas before the children left for the holiday.

This year's celebration was without her ex-husband, Siya Kolisi. The pair divorced in October 2024 amid cheating rumours involving the Springboks captain.

Rachel, who reportedly unfollowed Springboks player RG Synman's wife, Saskia, on IG, was praised online after sharing photos from her family's Christmas celebration.

Captioning her post, Rachel wrote in part:

"We celebrated a few days earlier this year, the kids are leaving tomorrow. I'm so grateful I had all four together for the day!"
