Amor Vittone has bravely opened up about her life after the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Springboks legend Joost van der Westhuizen, as she steps into a new chapter with businessman Marius van Biljon. Fans and followers are rallying around her, celebrating her journey of resilience and the remembrance of Joost's remarkable legacy.

The dedicated singer and TV personality, who shared 15 years of marriage with Joost, took to social media to reflect on her life in the aftermath of tragedy. She has kept Joost’s spirit alive in her heart and through the conversations that unfold within her follower community. As she confirmed her new relationship, supporters flooded her comments with love and nostalgia, highlighting Joost's irreplaceable impact both on and off the rugby field.

Honoring a Rugby Icon

Joost van der Westhuizen, who tragically passed away in 2017 after battling motor-neurone disease, remains a colossal figure in South African sports history. Considered among the finest scrum-halves the game has seen, his incredible skills and unmatched leadership have earned him legendary status. One moving message Amor liked spoke volumes:

“No one will take the place of Joost, but you deserve happiness.”

Another comment poignantly reflected on his life:

“Joost was a legend, so sad he died early. But life goes on.”

Embracing Life After Loss

Amor and Joost are parents to Jordan and Kylie, who continue to shine as individuals in their own right. Jordan celebrated his 21st birthday in January 2025, and Kylie recently turned 19 in March 2025, often appearing in her mother’s heartfelt social media posts, showcasing a close-knit family dynamic.

Despite being separated at the time of Joost's death, Amor emphasized that they never divorced. The years after Joost’s passing have been fraught with legal disputes over his estate, adding layers of complexity to her journey. While Amor contests the rulings related to Joost’s trust and their previous agreements, she remains focused on celebrating their family legacy.

In December 2025, she shared delightful festive moments spent with her children, and just recently posted cheerful memories from a cricket outing, saying:

"Having fun at the SA20 Supersport Park."

As Amor honors Joost’s memory, she welcomes this new phase of her life with Marius van Biljon, emphasizing the shared understanding stemming from their personal experiences of loss. Social media commentators show unwavering support for her happiness as she preserves the memory of the sports icon she once cherished.

Joost’s enduring legacy on the rugby field serves as a powerful reminder of his significant contributions to South African sport. Amor’s journey reflects both the commitment to honoring his memory and the courage to embrace love anew.
