Siya and Rachel: Who will get the Kolisi family home in their high-profile split?
Springboks captain Siya Kolisi and wife Rachel's separation raises questions about who will retain their luxurious KZN mansion, as South Africa's beloved celebrity couple navigates the division of shared assets and custody.
"A weekend for the soul. I have a busy week ahead, so this was very needed,” the 34-year-old posted on Instagram, giving fans an insight into her emotional wellbeing and how she is coping with the separation.
The post is accompanied by a photo of her daughter on the wheel as the mother gives her some driving tips after which she posted: “PS we have a new driver in the house.”
Rachel had a busy week ahead indeed as on Wednesday, she hit the red carpet for the first time without Siya at the Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in Cape Town.
She channeled her inner Princess Diana fashion spirit with a black dress that turned heads. She stunned in a sleeveless dress of the LBD which was made famous by the late Princess Diana after King Charles admitted to adultery in his televised announcement in 1994.
She later explained the inspiration behind the dress, saying it was a celebration of the green carpet’s call to embrace suitability.
“They're saving our planet one dress at a time. Materials and dresses are being made on a daily basis and fashion is just moving faster and faster so if we all just start making small changes wherever we can, we're going to have a huge impact on our environment. So, we're just going to have to get intentional about it,” she said, as quoted by South African outlet Times Live.
Earthshot Prize awards ceremony celebrates five recipients annually for their exceptional contribution to environmentalism.
