Banned Springbok rugby player Elton Jantjies is having luck off the pitch, with his love life getting its groove back.
Jantjies has made his new relationship with model Loren Jenneker, Instagram official, with both of them posting images of their outing on their respective Instagram accounts.
Jenneker was the first to post on July 8 when they went to Loftus Versfeld Stadium to watch the much-anticipated test match between the Springboks v Ireland. Jantjies reposted the image on his timeline.
On July 11, the 33-year-old posted a picture of himself and Jenneker on a romantic date together, warmly embracing each other. In his caption, he wrote “ It's been a while to appreciate moments. Where God is in the center (sic) of it.”
Jenneker is a former Miss South Africa finalist, in 2019 she placed in the top 10.
She is based in Centurion and studied at the University of Johannesburg and is signed to top modelling agency Boss Models.
The new couple is said to have been going steady for about a month and by the looks of their Instagram pictures, they are boo’ed up.
Since his divorce from Iva Ristic, following cheating allegations with Zeenat Simjee, the Springbok dietitian, Jantjies has been linked to influencer and model Ashleigh Ogle, their relationship ended on a sour note.
Ogle released a statement on X announcing that she and Jantjies had split, without going into much detail about the relationship, Ogle revealed the former Springbok prodigy had tried to get violent with her.
This year a permanent protection order was granted in favour of Ogle against Jantjies by the Randburg Magistrate's Court. Through the protection order, the court ordered Jantjies to not contact Ogle directly or indirectly and not abuse or harass her.
