Rachel Kolisi has been announced as the cover star for the March/April 2025 edition of Women’s Health magazine. The South African socialite and philanthropist has been in the spotlight, particularly following the end of her marriage to Springbok captain Siya Kolisi.
Despite the media attention surrounding her personal life, Rachel has chosen to focus on her healing journey, which she has been openly sharing with her followers.
Rachel’s Journey to Healing and Wellness
In an exclusive interview with Women’s Health, Rachel shared her new approach to health and well-being, which has been instrumental in her personal growth.
She revealed that exercise played a crucial role in her recovery, both physically and emotionally.
Rachel recently took to social media to speak about her transformation and how she turned to fitness as a source of strength during her most challenging times.
“I have received thousands of messages from women all over the world sharing their stories of heartbreak, loss, devastation, and disparity,” she wrote in a heartfelt post.
“And almost always, they ask, ‘Where did you start your healing journey?’ It was here. Exercising. Whether you haven’t worked out in years or if you currently work out every day – this is for you! You challenge yourself as much as you want to.”
Her message resonated with many, as she encouraged others to use fitness as a tool for self-empowerment.
Embracing Change and Self-Care
Rachel also spoke to Women’s Health about how she has learned to embrace change rather than fear it.
Following her high-profile divorce, she faced immense public scrutiny, but rather than let it define her, she redirected her focus toward self-care, fitness, and emotional well-being.
“I have learned that change is not something to be afraid of. It is an opportunity to grow, to rediscover yourself, and to become stronger than you ever imagined,” she shared.

Life Beyond Marriage: A New Chapter
Since the end of her marriage to Siya Kolisi, Rachel has focused on rebuilding her life on her own terms.
She remains dedicated to her children, her philanthropic work, and personal growth.
While many expected her to stay out of the public eye, she has instead chosen to use her platform to share her experiences, helping others who might be going through similar struggles.
Through her work with Women’s Health, she hopes to encourage people to prioritize self-care, take charge of their mental and physical well-being, and not be afraid of starting over.
