We all know that Joost van der Westhuzien hasn’t exactly been innocent in the past. Remember the Joostgate saga?
Basically, the former Springbok captain became embroiled in a sex tape scandal featuring a dancer and some suspicious looking white powder.
"I can tell you it was definitely not me (in the video) and I've never done something like that," he said at the time. Then, the dancer in the video, Marlize van Emmenis, came forward and said that it was Joost in the video.
Eventually, Joost confessed it was him. The story became huge, and his marriage crumbled.
Not long after that, Joost announced he had been diagnosed with motor neuron disease.
After a very public divorce battle it seems that the couple are putting the past behind them.
Amor Vittone revealed, in an exclusive with heat magazine, that her estranged husband will move back in with her permanently as they prepare for his last battle with the incurable disease.
It’s quite sad really, but it seems like the family are trying their best to make good of a bad situation.
“I’m busy transforming the kids’ playroom into a bedroom for him. Joost can’t get up the stairs anymore, so we want to make it as easy for him as possible. Doctors have told us that he will soon need to go on pipes to get oxygen, which means that he won’t move around as often,” Amor told heat.
Joost seems to realise that he needs to take care of his family now more than ever – he paid off their bond in full and even took them on an overseas holiday.
Apparently the couple are closer than ever. “He’s such an awesome guy. He really wants the best for me and our children,” Amor says.
Now we know that Joost still loves Amor, and that the pair seem to be making up, but could it be because of feelings of guilt about his disease? Or has Amor really forgiven him?
