Amsterdam-born influencer Rachel John, rumoured to be the Springbok captain Siya Kolisi's new girlfriend, proved that she isn't the one to mess with. A TikTok video showcased the young woman's physique and power during a kickboxing session.
Rachel, born to a Dutch mother and Nigerian father, often shares kickboxing videos and recently posted footage of her time in the ring on 25 November 2025. She used the song Cupid's Chokehold by Gym Class Heroes, including the line:
"Take a look at my girlfriend / She's the only one I got / Not much of a girlfriend / I never seem to get a lot."
From headbutts to punches and kicks, the Gelukkig heb ik ADHD author captioned her post:

"Just a girl who loves fighting."
While she may love fighting, Rachel also loves the Jeffreys Bay community, where she founded a non-profit youth centre and JBay Surf House. She also runs the organisation RAJOS, which promotes women's empowerment through kickboxing camps in Asia.
Rachel John spotted with Siya Kolisi
Although Rachel has a large following on various social media platforms, her popularity skyrocketed when she was seen seated next to Siya at the ATP Finals in Turin, Italy, on 15 November 2025. Springbok teammates Eben Etzebeth and RG Synman, whose wife, Saskia, was sitting to the right of Rachel, were also in attendance.
Take a look at Rachel, Siya, and other notable sports figures in the X post below:
After reviewing Rachel's Instagram account, it seems Siya had been aware of the Dutch beauty for quite some time, as he liked one of her posts as far back as December 2024, two months after announcing his split from ex Rachel Kolisi.
Siya and the mother of his two children explained that they had mutually decided to end their marriage and would remain "great friends". The former couple didn't disclose information about finalising their divorce, nor did Siya confirm a romantic relationship with Rachel John.
