Whether they confirm it or deny it, it is quite clear that Rachel John and Siya Kolisi are indeed in a relationship.
Following some digital detective work, the evidence suggests that the Springbok captain and the Dutch model celebrated her birthday together in Jeffreys Bay.
The most telling clue? His unmistakable reflection in the window as he played photographer during the celebration.
The second clue lies in the wardrobe.
On his Instagram Stories, Kolisi was seen sporting a white t-shirt, light blue jeans, and his unmistakable signature yellow wristwatch.
Sharp-eyed followers quickly connected the dots when the 25-year-old model shared a video featuring a man dancing in the background, wearing that exact same outfit and distinctive timepiece.

The plot thickened when both of them checked into the same lodge at the same time.
While some might call it a coincidence, the details suggest otherwise.
In a video posted to Kolisi's Instagram Stories, he showcased the lodge's breathtaking views; however, sharp-eyed followers noticed that the distinct wood grain on his balcony was a perfect match for the one featured in John’s own updates.
The colour and design of the wood on Siya Kolisi's Instagram Story looks the same as the one on Rachel John's Story.

All the evidence points towards them being in a relationship.
If we rewind a little bit, Kolisi began with subtle hints on social media by leaving comments on John’s posts.
You would definitely think "Agh, it’s just comments, it’s not that deep" but leaving heart emojis? Well side-eye, because in social media terms, that means more than you would think.
The strong rumours of a romance have seemingly turned into reality.
The pair’s relationship timeline began when they were first spotted together at the ATP Finals in Italy last November.
Since then, the Springbok captain has frequently commented on the Dutch model’s social media posts, and now, he joined her to celebrate her birthday."
Additionally, it's been over a year since Kolisi and his wife, Rachel Kolisi have separated.
Since then, the philanthropist has been candid about her path to recovery.
This past December, Rachel introduced her new documentary, "Falling Forward", which explores her personal evolution through themes of identity, loss, motherhood and rediscovery.
