Convicted murderer Oscar Pistorius is said to have found new love with a stunning blonde just months after being released from a harsh prison on parole.
Disgraced Pistorius, 38, served nine years behind bars for horrifically killing his lover Reeva Steenkamp in their South African home.
The double amputee nicknamed ‘Blade Runner’ because of the prosthetics he used to compete in the Olympic and Paralympic Games murdered her in his bathroom.
The former Golden Boy of athletics claimed he woke up early thinking a thief was breaking in, not knowing his girlfriend Reeva was in the bathroom.
He repeatedly shot through the door and killed her instantly with special ‘dum dum’ bullets, but Reeva’s family has always claimed 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 freed amid a media storm when he was granted parole on January 5, 2024, still insisting he mistakenly killed law graduate and model Reeva, 29.
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 that he is dating Rita Greyling, 33, a business management consultant from Wakkerstroom in Mpumulanga and a long-time 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, in late 2022, her brother Ghini was involved in a devastating incident at Henbase Lodge, Morgenzon.
That November Willem Kruger, 29, drowned during a party and police in December 2023 said his death had been upgraded from an accidental investigation to a murder investigation.
Friends said the tragedies surrounding the Pistorius and Greyling families brought them together and their reported romance marks a new beginning for both.
The attractive Rita has a successful career as a business management consultant and Pistorius is trying to rebuild his life after being placed in the care of his rich uncle.
A source close to Pistorius said: “He is trying to rebuild his life in a discreet way and avoids bars and restaurants and the general public and remains unnoticed.”

Pistorius’ new romance with Rita (pictured) comes more than ten years after the horrific Valentine’s Day shooting.
Pistorius was granted parole and released on January 5, 2024. Pictured in 2012 with Reeva.
“Little by little he is trying to reintegrate into society, but he is doing that through families that his family has been close to for decades and little by little.
“The word on the street for three months is that he’s coming out again,” he said.
Pistorius lives in a cottage in the grounds of his billionaire uncle Arnold’s secure mansion and is doing volunteer work at a nearby Dutch Reformed church.
His sentence ends in 2029 and, like parole, he is subject to Department of Corrections checks at any time of day to check his residency testing for alcohol and drugs.
He is not allowed to leave the immediate area without informing local police and is not allowed to carry a firearm or have any contact with Reeva Steenkamp’s mother or sister.
Pistorius is said to have difficulty finding work, as his friends say employers view him as “toxic”, so church volunteers used by his family cleaned and swept.
