Reports Say Oscar Pistorius Is 'Besotted' With New Partner as June Steenkamp Struggles After Stroke

Fresh reports detail his post-release relationship alongside claims that June Steenkamp is struggling to speak after a life-changing stroke.

Overview

  • GB News, citing the Daily Mail and unnamed sources, reports Pistorius is in a relationship with a management consultant named Rita and is described as 'besotted'.
  • Insiders quoted in the coverage say he wants to settle down and have children, a claim presented as his aspiration rather than a confirmed plan.
  • A family friend says June Steenkamp is barely able to speak following a serious stroke this year, with fears she may not remember her daughter Reeva.
  • The reports add that June had hoped to move to the UK after her husband Barry’s death in 2023 but is now recovering in South Africa.
  • Since his January 2024 parole release, Pistorius has kept a low profile, with GB News noting church volunteering near his uncle’s Pretoria home, strict parole conditions, and a triathlon appearance in Durban earlier this year.
