TIMELINE OF RACHEL AND SIYA’S LOVE
Rachel Kolisi posted a series of pictures on her Instagram story sharing the special moments of her relationship with Siya Kolisi. First up was a picture of Rachel, the day she met Siya, which according to Wedding ETC was at a dinner party in Stellenbosch, Western Cape back in 2012.
The next snap was Rachel on the day of Siya’s Umgidi, where she was dressed in traditional attire. Umgidi is a Xhosa cultural event which is considered as a joyous family celebration, welcoming a boy returning as a man from the sacred custom of initiation.
The next few pictures show how Siya jumped from the friend zone to officially becoming a couple. Followed by the day Siya asked Rachel to marry him in during a helicopter ride over Cape Town in December 2015.
“I knew I liked her and had to tell her, It was scary. I asked her to lunch and that’s when I told her. She played hard to get in the beginning, but eventually admitted it as well. The rest is history,” wrote Siya on their wedding website.
The next milestone in the couple’s relationship was the birth of their first child Nicholas Siyamthanda in 2015 which Rachel described as a “miracle”.
Rachel also called Siya’s two younger siblings Liyema and Liphelo “two more miracles”. Siya and his siblings share a mother who unfortunately passed away in 2009 which left Liyema and Liphelo bouncing from orphanages to foster homes for years before Siya and Rachel were financially stable enough to adopt them in 2014.
The next big moment in their lives was the birth of their second child Keziah Kolisi in 2017.
Rachel then shared pictures of the couple’s travel adventures in Paris, Monaco and the US.
