Oscar Pistorius, the former Paralympian convicted of murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013, is reportedly in a new romantic relationship after his release from prison.
According to Netwerk24 and other South African media outlets, Pistorius, now 38, is in a relationship with Rita Greyling, a 33-year-old business management consultant and long-term family friend. The pair reportedly bonded over shared family tragedies, including Greyling’s connection to the unexplained death of her brother’s close friend, Willem Kruger, in 2022.
