Rachel and Siya Kolisi’s divorce has sent shockwaves through social media, sparking an outpouring of reactions from fans.
Once regarded as a power couple and a source of inspiration for many who believed in love, the Kolisis were admired for their family values and the hope they instilled in those seeking the right partner.
After more than 8 years of marriage, the couple released a joint statement on Tuesday, announcing the end of their relationship.
The news left South Africans deeply saddened, with many expressing their disappointment and voicing their disapproval of the divorce.
Some heartfelt comments included:
“I wish there was a way we, as a country, could write them a letter of appeal. I loved this couple.”
“Marriages are difficult. Ask me. Two people from two different backgrounds, baggage, histories, and upbringings trying to create a new one and define a different and exciting future. It’s hard work. Believe me.”
After all this good content and people decide to just walk way from each other. I will never understand relationships.😭😭😭😩😩😩😩#RachelKolisi /#Rachel/Musa/Mofokeng/Divorce/Ballon D’or/clear water mall
