Kolisi, who plays for the KwaZulu-Natal-based Sharks, is currently nursing a calf injury that will sideline him for quite some time. He shared beautiful family moments on social media, which ranged from spending time with his children, Keziah and Nicholas, to time with his siblings, Liyema and Liphelo.
On Good Friday, 3 April 2026, he shared a caption:
“Easter Friday ❤️”

Under that caption were pictures of him rallying behind his eight-year-old daughter from the sidelines as she was swimming in the pool. His son was also captured in the family moments as he joined his little sister in diving into the pool. The Zwide-born rugby star, who is set to move to the Stormers in the middle of the year, also partook in the fun as he joined his kids in diving into the pool.

Siya Kolisi shows he is a family man
Kolisi is a family man who loves sharing such wholesome moments with his family on social media. Recent posts have shown him on lunch dates with Liphelo or sharing joyful moments with Liyema. The two siblings were adopted by Siya and Rachel Kolisi in 2014.
His scheduled move to the Stormers, who are based in Cape Town, was reportedly inspired by his desire to be closer to his children, who stay with their mother.
Nicholas Siyamthanda Kolisi, Siya’s eldest child, was born in 2015, making him about 11 years old in early 2026. Keziah Kolisi, his daughter, was born in November 2017, making her 8 years old as of early 2026. Siya remains present in his children’s lives and regularly shares moments with them. He was with them at Sharkfest in December during a Sharks rugby match.
In recent months, the Zwide-born rugby star has been in the spotlight amid rumours that he is reportedly dating Dutch influencer Rachel John. The rumours gained traction when the two appeared together for the first time during a Victoria Falls trip in January 2026. Neither has confirmed nor denied the relationship.
