CONVICTED murderer Oscar Pistorius is reportedly making plans to marry and raise kids – 12 years after killing ex-girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The former Paralympic athlete is said to be in a relationship with family friend Rita Greyling, whom he met after being released from prison on parole.

Pistorius served nine years behind bars for gunning down his model girlfriend.
He killed Steenkamp, 29, when he fired four bullets through the locked door of their bathroom in the early hours of Valentine’s Day 2013, in Pretoria, South Africa.
The double amputee, dubbed “Blade Runner” for the prosthetics he used to compete in the Paralympics, was sentenced to 13 years and five months for murder.
Now, Pistorius and Rita are deeply in love – with the ex-Paralympian “besotted” with his new partner, the DailyMail reports.
One source said: “[Pistorius] has said he wants to settle down and have kids. He sees it as the next step for them.”
Greyling, a business management consultant from Wakkerstroom, in eastern South Africa, has reportedly kept her romance with Pistorius quiet.
His reported new fling’s family also made headlines in 2022 when someone died at her brother Ghini’s bachelor party.
Sources close to the reported couple said the disgraced Olympian is attempting to revamp his life.
One said: “He is trying to rebuild his life in a low-key way and avoids bars and restaurants and the general public and is flying under the radar.
“He is slowly trying to reintegrate into society but that is being done through families that his family have been close to for decades and is slowly slowly.”
Pistorius moved into his wealthy uncle’s £2 million Pretoria home, and relies on him for protection.
His tycoon uncle Arnold, who made his millions from property and tourism, hired armed guards with attack dogs, while his nephew lives in a cottage on his grounds.
Part of his rebuilding has reportedly included volunteer work at a nearby Dutch Reform Church, as he has reportedly found it difficult to find work with his record.
Pistorius’ sentence ends in 2029 and he is subject to certain conditions for life outside jail.
These include attending therapy for anger and “gender-based violence issues”.
The Steenkamp family previously said Pistorius should not expect forgiveness and issued a stark warning to him.

They said: “Oscar will get the shock of his life when he is back out in the real world.
“It’s a very different world where gender-based violence is now taken far more seriously.
“I don’t know if he will be able to cope with no longer being the centre of attention and the superstar everybody wanted to be around. He will always be looking over his shoulder.”
The former Golden Boy of athletics claimed he woke in the early hours thinking a burglar was breaking in unaware his girlfriend Reeva was in the bathroom, on Valentine’s Day 2013.
He fired repeated shots through the door, killing her instantly with special “dum-dum” bullets.
But Reeva’s family have always claimed it was intentional.
The horrific shooting and his trial caught the world’s attention as he was initially jailed for culpable homicide, which was later upgraded to murder.
Warped Oscar Pistorius fans troll Reeva Steenkamp’s stricken mum
SICK fans of convicted murderer Oscar Pistorius have trolled the bereaved mother of his victim.
An online hate campaign was launched towards Reeva Steenkamp’s mother, saying she was “milking” the death of her daughter.
June Steenkamp was rushed to hospital for an urgent brain scan last week before it was revealed the 78-year-old had suffered a life changing stroke.
After an online campaign was launched to help pay for the intensive and private rehabilitation treatment June will need, cruel online trolls started flooding the comments.
Venomous fans of Pistorius left intense comments saying June’s stroke was “payback” and “karma” for making the life of the man who murdered her daughter “hell” and accusing her of “milking” Reeva’s death.
The mother-of-three was found collapsed at her South African farm last Monday and has been left unable to speak and remains unaware of her surroundings as doctors carry out extensive tests.
The extent of the damage to June’s brain remains unknown.
The appalling comments have rocked June’s family and friends, as the still-grieving widow remains in hospital.
