Former Olympian and convicted killer Oscar Pistorius ‘finds love again’ with stunning blonde – just months after his release from jail for the murder of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp
Convicted murderer Oscar Pistorius is said to have found new love with a beautiful blonde, just months after being paroled from a tough prison.
Disgraced Paralympian Pistorius, 38, spent nine years behind bars for brutally shooting dead his lover Reeva Steenkamp at his home in South Africa.
The double amputee dubbed ‘Blade Runner’ for the prosthetics he used to compete in the Olympic and Paralympic Games murdered her in his bathroom.
The former Athletics Golden Boy claimed he woke up in the early hours thinking a burglar was breaking in, without knowing his girlfriend Reeva was in the toilet.
He fired repeatedly through the door, killing her instantly with special ‘dum dum’ bullets, but Reeva’s family has always maintained it was intentional.
The horrific shooting on Valentine’s Day 2013 shocked the world and led to him being jailed for manslaughter, which was later upgraded to murder.
Pistorius was released in a media storm when he was released on parole on January 5, 2024, still insisting he accidentally killed 29-year-old law student and model Reeva.
The respected South African newspaper Netwerk24 now reports that Pistorius – who lives with his uncle in a fortified mansion in Pretoria – is in love again.

They have revealed he is dating Rita Greyling, 33, a business management consultant from Wakkerstroom in Mpumulanga – and a long-term family friend.
Sources close to the couple have confirmed to Netwerk24 that Pistorius and Greyling are in a romantic relationship, although details are being kept strictly private.
New love Rita’s family also made headlines when her brother Ghini was involved in a devastating incident at Henbase Lodge, Morgenzon in late 2022.
In November, Willem Kruger, 29, drowned during a party and police in December 2023 said his death had been shifted from an accident to a murder investigation.
Friends said the tragedies surrounding both the Pistorius and Greyling families brought them together and their reported romance marks a new start for both.
The attractive Rita has a successful career as a business management consultant and Pistorius tries to rebuild his life after being released into the care of his wealthy uncle.
A source close to Pistorius said: ‘He is trying to rebuild his life quietly, avoiding bars, restaurants and the general public and flying under the radar.

‘He is slowly trying to reintegrate into society, but that is done through families that his family has had a close relationship with for decades, and that is going slowly.
“The word that has been on the street for three months now is that he is dating again,” she said.
Pistorius lives in a cottage on the grounds of his multimillionaire uncle Arnold’s gated mansion and volunteers at a nearby Dutch Reformed church.
His sentence ends in 2029 and, while on parole, he is subject to checks by the Department of Corrections at any time of the day to monitor his residence test for alcohol and drugs.
He is not allowed to leave the immediate area without informing the local police and is not allowed to take a firearm or make any contact with Reeva Steenkamp’s mother or sister.
Pistorius is said to be struggling to find work with friends saying employers view him as ‘toxic’, so volunteers at the church are used by his family to clean and sweep.
