Convicted murderer and former Paralympian Oscar Pistorius has been seen publicly with his new girlfriend, sparking attention due to her striking resemblance to Reeva Steenkamp, the woman he fatally shot on Valentine’s Day in 2013, RadarOnline.com reports.
Pistorius, released on parole in January 2024 after serving nine years for Steenkamp’s murder, was photographed at a stylish pink-themed café in one of South Africa’s most affluent suburbs. The 37-year-old athlete was holding hands and enjoying lunch with his new partner, 33-year-old Rita Greyling.
Greyling, a management consultant and former model, shares notable physical similarities with Steenkamp, including blonde hair and facial features. Their relationship became public several months after Pistorius’s release and his move into his wealthy uncle’s $2.6 million home in Pretoria.
Witnesses at the trendy Goddess Café near Johannesburg described the couple as affectionate and visibly close. One source said, “You can’t imagine a less likely place to see Oscar Pistorius, but he and Rita hold hands and look lovingly across the table at each other. He is besotted with her. You can see they are deeply in love.”
Pistorius reportedly confided to a friend that he wishes to leave his criminal past behind, start a family, and focus on living quietly following his release. Greyling, originally from Wakkerstroom, is believed to be a long-time family friend. The couple has kept their relationship relatively low profile.
Since his release, Pistorius appears to be attempting a slow reintegration into society. In June, he participated in an Ironman triathlon, indicating a possible effort to restart his sporting career.
A source close to him previously told media, “He is trying to rebuild his life in a low-key way and avoids bars and restaurants and the general public. He is flying under the radar. He is slowly trying to reintegrate into society but through families his own family have been close to for decades. The word on the street for three months now is that he is dating again.”
Pistorius’s parole conditions include mandatory therapy sessions. Reports also indicate that he has been volunteering at a Dutch Reform Church. However, finding employment has proven difficult given his past. His sentence officially ends in 2029.
Meanwhile, Reeva Steenkamp’s mother, June, 78, has been hospitalized after suffering a severe stroke. Friends fear her condition has worsened to the point where she may not remember her late daughter. A family friend shared, “She is barely able to speak. It’s impossible to follow what she is saying or have a conversation. She doesn’t know her own name and doesn’t recognize people.”
