Rachel Kolisi, the estranged wife of Springboks captain Siya Kolisi, reflected on life as she celebrated her 36th birthday on Wednesday 21 January.
RACHEL KOLISI CELEBRATES 36TH BIRTHDAY
Director, speaker and now author, Rachel Kolisi turned 36 on Wednesday 21 January. Taking to Instagram, she shared two bible verses that she had on her birthday on her birthday. She also thanked her fans and followers for their beautiful messages and expressed that she is excited to turn 36.
“This morning I woke up with these two verses on my heart. ‘weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.’ Psalm 30:5′,” she wrote.
“And,’And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 4:7. I’ve found both to be true in ways I couldn’t have imagined a year ago,” she continued.
“Thank you for all the beautiful messages. I’m feeling so ready and excited for year 36! ♥️,” she added.
FANS SEND ENCOURAGEMENT AMID DIVORCE
This comes amid Rachel’s divorce from Springboks captain Siya Kolisi. The former couple were married for eight years and have two beautiful children together – Nicholas (11) and Keziah (9). Rachel and Siya announced their split via a joint statement in October 2024, shocking fans across the world.
Siya has since moved on with 25-year-old influencer Rachel John. Fans took to the comments section of Rachel’s post to send her messages of encouragement.
“Keep going Rachel. God shapes and molds us most profoundly in our valleys of suffering (certainly true for my life past couple years)… and if we choose to heal right with Him… we emerge more generous, more empathetic, more effective in carrying Gods love to a hurting world than ever before. Onward, upward,” wrote Bradsenekal.
“Oh @rachelkolisi the joy of the Lord is your strength. May your you never forget you are chosen, loved and more than capable through Christ. May you experience pure happiness, joy, peace and love like never before. Happy happy blessed birthday ❤️❤️❤️,” wrote @jay_c_wenn.
