Here, we take a look at the wives, girlfriends and reported partners of the Springboks’ biggest stars.
Springboks WAGS
Siya Kolisi’s reported girlfriend – Rachel John
Springboks captain Siya Kolisi has been linked with Dutch-Nigerian influencer Rachel John following his separation from former wife Rachel Kolisi.
Kolisi and his former wife announced their separation in October 2024 after eight years of marriage.
Since then, the rugby superstar’s personal life has continued to attract significant attention.
John has subsequently been linked romantically with the South Africa captain after the pair were spotted together on a number of occasions.
Neither Kolisi nor John has formally confirmed a relationship, meaning she is best described as his reported or rumoured partner.
Handré Pollard’s wife – Marise Pollard
Springboks fly-half Handré Pollard is married to Marise Pollard, with the couple tying the knot in 2017.
They had been together for several years before marrying, with Marise supporting Pollard throughout his rise to become one of the most recognisable rugby players in the world.
She has also built a sizeable social media following of her own and regularly shares glimpses of their family life.
Pollard has since become a two-time Rugby World Cup winner and one of the Springboks’ most important players.
