‘My heart’: Elton’s ex Iva Ristic praises new partner [photos]
Iva Ristic, the ex-wife of former Springbok Elton Jantjies, is madly in love with her new partner, following her high-profile split.
Iva Ristic, the ex-wife of former Springbok Elton Jantjies, has praised her new partner after her heartbreak and high-profile split a few years ago.
The mother of three lives in Turkey, while her ex stays in Johannesburg. Iva first went Instagram official with her mysterious man in June 2024.
IVA RISTIC SHOWS LOVE TO NEW MAN
In an Instagram post, Iva Ristic gushed over the new man in her life.
“My heart,” she captioned an image of her partner kissing her on the cheek.
The model and influencer has kept the dark-haired man’s identity a secret. She’s also shied away from discussing the details surrounding her divorce from ex-Springbok Elton Jantjies.
Although Iva went Instagram official with her partner a few months ago, it appears they started dating in 2023 after celebrating their “anniversary” in October.
The couple have spent the festive season together, alongside Iva’s three children with Elton, who remains in South Africa.
Iva and Elton split in 2022 after the latter’s alleged affair with Bok dietician Zeenat Simjee. The former couple wed in 2019, just months before Elton’s performance at the Rugby World Cup in Japan.
ELTON HAS MOVED ON TOO
Like Iva Ristic, Elton Jantjies has also moved on from their marriage, albeit much sooner.
In July 2024, the rugby player went Instagram official with his new bae, former Miss SA finalist Loren Jenneker.
However, their romance was short-lived. Just weeks later, they deleted images of each other from their IG feeds.

Like Loren, Elton had a brief yet explosive romance with reality TV star Ashleigh Ogle.
The rollercoaster relationship resulted in Ashleigh being granted a permanent protection order against him and a tell-all with a local publication accusing him of abusing drugs and threatening to kill her.
Elton has denied the allegations.
