Elton Jantjies’ wife, Iva Rustic Jantjies says the Bok flyhalf has denied cheating on her with team dietician Zeenat Simjee.
In an interview with News24, Iva expressed her complete shock at discovering her husband’s alleged affair on social media.
The wife of the Springbok rugby player says while Jantjies had denied the allegations, she’s not sure about staying in their marriage.
“We have been together for almost a decade. There will always be love for each and we’ll always be a unit. We have three beautiful children who love him unconditionally.
He is very disappointed, I think it’s good for him to distance himself for the Bok squad and process everything. We speak all the time.”
As quoted by Iva Ristic’s interview with News 24
Iva shared that the Bok flyhalf denied cheating on her and said that she had sacrificed a lot to get him to the top.
“We’ve been together since 2014 and had our ups and downs like every other couple. I have always been there to support him through good and bad times and still am.
When we met he was not even part of the Bok squad, we worked really hard for him to achieve his goals and dreams. I sacrificed so many things, including my career and dreams.”
According to the publication, Iva maintains that she will still have love for her husband no matter what happens from here.
The Bok flyhalf says she expects her husband to get back to their home in Japan next week, despite Jantjies and Simjee being sent home from Argentina earlier this week.
