“Never been more grateful for the very few who showed up to support and lean on this week, especially. One day at a time felt too big this week, so I just did one hour at a time and it kinda helped. I made it to Saturday!” she said.
Rachel and Siya’s love story began in 2012, leading to their wedding in 2016. They have two kids, Nicholas (10) and Keziah (7).
Since the separation, Siya has been residing in Durban, KZN, where he continues his rugby career with the Durban-based team, Sharks.
