Take a look at the picture posted on Rachel's Instagram account below:

Rachel, who co-founded Jbay Surf House, shared in early February that she was heading back to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, after spending two months in South Africa. While she didn't provide a recent update on her whereabouts, one could speculate that she met up with her mother in the country. It is unknown if Siya met Rachel's parents, but the two rumoured lovebirds wasted no time being in the same areas after Rachel left South Africa.

Although they didn't share social media posts of themselves together, the pair separately shared their experiences in the United States, first at the star-studded All-Star basketball event. Next, they uploaded solo photos of themselves on the Empire State Building in New York.
