‘Upgrade’: Elton Jantjies’s ex Iva Ristic praised for moving on.

Former Springbok WAG Iva Ristic has been praised for moving on from her messy marriage to Elton Jantjies, who confessed to having an affair.

Elton Jantjies’s ex, Iva Ristic, has received praise from the public for moving on from their marriage. The former Springbok WAG recently went public with a new romance with a mystery man.

This comes almost two years after Elton’s alleged affair with team dietician Zeenat Simjee made headlines.

Months after confessing to infidelity, the rugby player has been spotted with several women. This includes a rollercoaster romance with TV personality Ashleigh Ogle, who has since been granted a permanent protection order against him.

Elton and Iva wed in 2019, just months before the Rugby World Cup in Japan. They have three children together.

ELTON JANTJIES’S EX MOVES ON

Last week, Iva Ristic debuted her hunky new boyfriend on her Instagram account.

In the pic, the mystery man is seen kissing her on her cheek. Eagled-eyed followers were also quick to spot a ring on his wedding ring finger.

Many praised the brunette bombshell for finding happiness, given her marriage to Elton Jantjies, who confessed to having an affair with Springbok dietician.

A few comments under her post read:

“You deserve to be loved like that.”

Happiness looks good on you. Cute couple!”

“Lekker. Glad you left Elton.”

Iva – who has removed all traces of Elton Jantjies from her Instagram account – has also reverted to her maiden name.

WHO IS IVA RISTIC?

Iva Ristic was born in South Africa but is of Greek heritage. According to her Instagram account, she is a fashion model, influencer, and DJ.

She’s also well-travelled, having lived in various countries like Turkey, Japan, and Italy.

Iva regularly updates her followers on her mom life, adventures around the world, and her flair for fashion.

The model has several tattoos – a sleeve on her left arm, one on the back of her neck, another on her lower back, and one on her right thigh.

With her honey-brown hair, striking blue eyes, and plumply pout, Iva has all her followers swooning.

In various media interviews, Iva Ristic revealed she met Elton Jantjies online in 2011 – but only came face-to-face three years later in 2014. Iva claims it was “love at first sight.”

The couple announced their engagement in 2019 following a romantic dinner.

The couple shared pictures of the occasion on their social media accounts. “Getting hitched to my soul mate and best friend,” Elton captioned his post, while Iva shared, “Always & Forever.”

Just six days later, they were married in a low-key affair. The wedding ceremony reportedly took place before the Springboks’ World Cup win in Japan.

In 2022, Elton confessed to having an affair with Springbok dietician Zeenat Simjee, who denied the allegations.

The alleged affair saw the end of Iva and Elton’s marriage. Iva and her three children have since relocated to Turkey, where they are now based.
