Oscar Pistorius Spotted with New Girlfriend Resembling Reeva Steenkamp

Oscar Pistorius has been seen with his new girlfriend, Rita Greyling, whose remarkable resemblance to his deceased ex-partner, Reeva Steenkamp, has drawn attention. The former Paralympian, who was convicted of killing Steenkamp on February 14, 2013, was spotted enjoying lunch with Greyling at a popular café in Johannesburg, signalling a new chapter in his life since his release from prison on parole in January 2024.

Pistorius, now 36, has reportedly developed a close bond with Greyling, who is 33 years old. Both women share similar physical features, including blonde hair and comparable facial characteristics. Greyling, a management consultant and former model, has been linked to Pistorius since he began to reintegrate into society following his nine-year sentence for Steenkamp’s murder.

Witnesses at the trendy Goddess Cafe noted that the couple appeared affectionate, holding hands and sharing tender moments. A source described their interaction, stating, “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.” This sighting comes as Pistorius attempts to distance himself from his criminal past and focus on building a family.

Following his parole, Pistorius has moved into his uncle’s home in Pretoria, valued at approximately £2 million. He has been making efforts to lead a low-profile life, avoiding public places and focusing on rebuilding his life through family connections. Reports indicate that he has even participated in an Ironman triathlon in June 2024, suggesting a desire to revive his sporting career.

While he seeks to move forward, Pistorius remains under certain legal conditions, including mandatory therapy sessions, until the conclusion of his sentence in 2029. Sources close to him have revealed that he has also volunteered at a local Dutch Reform Church, as he has faced challenges in finding stable employment due to his criminal record.

In a related development, June Steenkamp, Reeva’s mother, is currently in critical condition following a stroke. Friends of the family have expressed concern over her health, noting that she struggles to communicate and may not recognize her own daughter’s name. A family friend shared, “She is barely able to speak. It’s impossible to follow what she is saying or have a conversation.”

As Pistorius navigates this new phase of his life, the shadows of his past continue to loom large, particularly as the Steenkamp family deals with ongoing grief and health challenges.
