“We Know Who To Blame”: Rachel and Siya Kolisi’s Wedding Clip Resurfaces 1 Year Since Split, SA Sad

• A video montage of Rachel and Siya Kolisi's wedding and other special moments resurfaced on the internet
• The former couple announced that they were ending their marriage on 22 October, 2024, via an Instagram post
• Social media users who viewed the footage expressed their emotions, stating how sad it was to see the duo's good times together

Unfortunately, for many Kolisi fans, the month of October marks the time when Springbok captain Siya Kolisi and philanthropist and businesswoman Rachel Kolisi announced their divorce. One social media user reminisced about the love lost and created an emotional video montage of memories from the former couple's wedding.

While Rachel and Siya shared an Instagram post about their split on 22 October, 2024, TikTok user @somuhl3 got ahead of themselves and posted the clip on 13 October, 2025, just a few days earlier. The video revealed snippets of the proposal, which took place in a helicopter between the clouds, their wedding day in 2016, and happy moments throughout their marriage.
