OSCAR Pistorius has reportedly found a new wife just months after being released on parole 11 years after murdering Reeva Steenkamp.
The disgraced former Paralympian, 38, served nine years behind bars for murdering his model girlfriend, but has apparently found time to find a new girlfriend since being released.

A double amputee dubbed the “Blade Runner” because of the prosthetics he used to compete in the Olympic and Paralympic Games has been sentenced to 13 years and five months for murder.
Pistorius killed Steenkamp, 29, when he fired four bullets through their locked bathroom door in the early hours of Valentine’s Day 2013 in Pretoria, South Africa.
Pistorius reportedly found a new partner after he was released from prison and granted parole on January 5.
According to South African newspaper Netwerk24, the convicted murderer is reportedly dating his family friend Rita Greyling, 33.

Greyling, a business management consultant from Wakkerstroom, in eastern South Africa, has reportedly kept quiet about her romance with Pistorius.
His new love’s family also made headlines in 2022 when someone died at her brother Ghini’s bachelor party.
Sources close to the reported couple said the disgraced Olympian is trying to turn his life around.
A source said: “He is trying to rebuild his life in a low-key way and avoids bars and restaurants and the general public and goes under the radar.
“He is slowly trying to reintegrate into society, but it is done through families with whom his family has been close for decades and slowly slowly.
“For three months now, word on the street is that he is dating again.”

Pistorius has moved into his wealthy uncle’s £2m house in Pretoria and relies on his protection.
His tycoon uncle Arnold, who has made millions in real estate and tourism, has hired armed guards with attack dogs, and his nephew lives in a cottage on his property.
Part of his rehabilitation reportedly included volunteer work at a nearby Dutch Reformed church, as he reportedly found it difficult to find work with his record.
Pistorius’ sentence expires in 2029 and he is subject to certain conditions for life outside prison.

“I don’t know if he’ll be able to handle not being in the limelight anymore and the superstar that everyone wanted to be. He will always be looking over his shoulder.”
The former athletics Golden Boy claimed he woke up in the early hours thinking a burglar was breaking in, unaware his girlfriend Reeva was in the bathroom, on Valentine’s Day 2013.
He fired repeated shots through the door, killing her instantly with special “dum dum” bullets, but Reeva’s family always claimed it was intentional.
The gruesome shooting and his trial drew world attention as he was initially jailed for culpable homicide which was later changed to murder.
