Kolisi, divorced from his now estranged wife Rachel, has two children together: son Nicholas Siyamthanda (born 2014) and daughter Keziah (born 2017).
The children mostly stay with their mother, who is the primary caregiver, but Kolisi often spends quality time with them, embodying being a present father regardless of no longer being together with their mother.
Rachel took to her social media account, sharing a candid glimpse into the challenges of co-parenting and highlighting an emotional moment as their children travelled alone to visit their father, on her TikTok account, on 9 July 2025.
She revealed that it was the first time the kids would be flying alone to see their dad without her, which was "hard" for her.
"Never going to feel normal packing for my kids to leave."
