Amor Vittone: A Life Well-Lived

Amor Vittone’s life has been full of love, loss, and resilience. The South African singer and actress have captured the hearts of many over the years with her stunning voice and captivating performances. However, her recent relationship with hunky plastic surgeon Charles Serrurier has returned her to the public eye. Fans and followers alike have been fascinated by the couple’s blossoming romance.

A Life in the Limelight

Highs and lows have marked Amor Vittone’s life. She burst onto the scene as a WAG (wife and girlfriend) of Joost van der Westhuizen, a former South African rugby player widely regarded as one of the greatest scrum halves ever. The couple’s love story was the stuff of fairy tales, with Joost proposing to Amor on a hot air balloon ride over the Magaliesberg Mountains. They went on to have two children together, but their marriage was challenging.

In 2009, Joost was diagnosed with motor neuron disease, a degenerative disorder that eventually led to his death in 2017. Amor was by his side throughout his illness, and her unwavering support and dedication earned her the admiration and respect of many.

A New Beginning

After Joost’s death, Amor struggled to accept her loss. But as the saying goes, life continues, and Amor eventually finds herself ready to start a new chapter. She met Charles Serrurier on a blind date in a Greek restaurant in Johannesburg, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Despite the challenges they have both faced, Amor and Charles have found happiness in each other’s company. Their relationship has been praised by many, who have encouraged Amor to move on from the loss of Joost and embrace the present.
