Businesswoman Rachel Kolisi subtly shared with followers and fans how her life was going in 2026. After watching her video, many social media users showed their support.

On 13 January 2026, the 35-year-old uploaded a video of herself at the beach reading a book and watching her surroundings. The audio placed over the footage stated the following:

"I choose peace. I choose love. I choose happiness. Today, I choose me."

Rachel wrote in her caption:

"And goodness was it a journey to get here."

A single mother of two, Rachel has gone through public heartbreak, giving people online a glimpse of her well-being through direct and mostly subliminal social media posts. In October 2024, Rachel and her ex-husband, Springbok captain Siya Kolisi (34), announced the end of their marriage.
