Healing and moving forward can be a difficult process, particularly when the issue concerns an alleged affair that made national headlines. South African rugby player Elton Jantjies and his wife, Iva Ristic, have been on a journey of reconciliation, healing, and growth since the scandal involving Jantjies and team dietician Zeenat Simjee in late 2020.

Iva Ristic’s Initial Plan to Divorce

Towards the end of 2021, Iva Ristic announced her intention to divorce Jantjies. However, recent social media posts featuring the couple and their family have raised questions about whether they are reconciling. Meanwhile, Jantjies faces the risk of being left out of the Springboks Rugby World Cup squad, while Simjee, who denied the affair allegations, has been selected for the month-long event.

Couple’s Appearance on Social Media

While it remains uncertain whether Jantjies and Ristic are back together or just co-parenting, the couple has been seen together in several Instagram posts. These posts showcase their family of five, as well as moments shared between the two of them. Married in 2019 and blessed with three sons, Jantjies and Ristic have shared glimpses of their travels together. Currently, Ristic, a model and DJ, resides in Alanya, Turkey, while Jantjies lives in France, where he plays for team Agen.

Iva Ristic’s Perspective on Divorce

In December, Ristic told The South African that the couple planned to finalize their divorce after the festive season. Despite their marital struggles being public knowledge, Ristic stated that she and Jantjies remained on “great terms” as friends and co-parents. She added that she was proud of them for managing to keep their friendship going.

Prioritizing Family’s Well-being

Throughout this uncertain period, Jantjies and Ristic have prioritized their family’s well-being. As time passed, their bond appears to have strengthened, showing resilience, understanding, and growth.

The alleged affair between Jantjies and Simjee undoubtedly left a mark on the couple, but their united front on social media and commitment to co-parenting demonstrate their determination to move forward. As Jantjies and Ristic continue on their journey of healing, it is important to remember that everyone’s healing process is unique and personal.
