Springbok fly-half Elton Jantjies admitted to cheating on his wife Iva Ristic, with the team’s dietician Zeenat Simjee.

The Springbok star and Simjee — the team’s official dietician — were sent home from Argentina after the couple was caught in a hotel tryst in September. The woman he wined and dined with candle-lit dinners and Moët & Chandon Champagne was sadly not his wife and the mother of his children, Iva. So, what do we know about his wife?

WHO IS ELTON JANTJIES’S WIFE IVA?

Here are five facts about Elton’s wife — who has since made her Instagram page private in the wake of her husband’s affair.

.1 IVA AND ELTON MET ONLINE

According to Huisgenoot, Elton Jantjies first met his wife online in 2011. Three years later, they would meet in person.

The couple announced their engagement in 2019, and 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.

2. SHE’S A MODEL

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

3. IVA IS A BOY MOM

The model and Elton share three sons: Elton Junior, Noah and Leandro Lee.

4. ELTON AND FAMILY LIVED IN OSAKA, JAPAN BEFORE CYPRUS MOVE

In 2022, Elton began his stint at the Japanese club NTT DoCoMo Red Hurricanes. So, his family called Japan home and settled in their adoptive country. However, after teasing her followers about a move from Japan, Iva landed in Cyprus. Elton is believed to be joining his wife in Cyprus in the next few days to focus on their kids.

5 . SHE IS A PART OF THE SPRINGBOK WAGS CLUB

Apart from always having her hubby Elton Jantjies’s back when it comes to his rugby career, Iva is also pals with fellow Springbok rugby WAGS, including Rachel Kolisi and Layla Kolbe, who are married to Siya Kolisi and Cheslin Kolbe respectively.
