Who is Dricus du Plessis' girlfriend? Everything you should know about Vasti Spiller
Fans have become more curious about Dricus du Plessis' personal life, particularly his relationship and girlfriend, especially after becoming the UFC middleweight champion.
Before 'Stillknocks' rose to prominence in the UFC, little was known about his personal life as he largely kept it away from the media spotlight. However, that changed after he became a top contender and Du Plessis' girlfriend also caught the media attention.
Who is Dricus du Plessis' girlfriend?
Du Plessis was seen accompanied by a woman in 'UFC 297 Embedded: Vlog Series - Episode 3' when he was scheduled to challenge former champion Sean Strickland for the 185-pound title. She was later identified as his new girlfriend, Vasti Spiller. 'Stillknocks' typically keeps details about his personal life, especially romantic relationships, private. However, the couple has shared several pictures together on social media platforms.
Spiller isa fashion model and a social media influencer by profession. Similar to her partner, she is also involved in combat sports and provides boxing coaching at the CIT Gym, where du Plessis has trained for the entirety of his professional MMA career.
Additionally, she serves as an ambassador for the B Loved Foundation, a charitable organization committed to supplying food to those facing food insecurity. Spiller also manages Baruch Photography, a venture specializing in wedding and relationship photography.
The 30-year-old South African and his partner kept their relationship private until recent months. They have occasionally taken to social media to express their love and fondness for each other since then. Spiller frequently shares photos and videos featuring du Plessis.
Dricus du Plessis says his girlfriend's presence should be enough to stop the rumors about his sexual orientation
Dricus du Plessis's gesture of kissing his coach Morne Visser has been ridiculed by many. However, he has been indifferent to the chatter. When Sean Strickland labeled him as gay for kissing his coach during the UFC seasonal press conference in 2024 last month, the comment helped him little to get under the South African fighter's skin.
At the UFC 297 media day in January, 'Stillknocks' responded to questions about the accusations surrounding his sexuality and the images of him kissing his coach:
"There's nothing you can say that has any affect on me, like go crazy. You are talking about me kissing other dudes? I have more photos. I have posted them online. I don't care. Do you think I care? I'm completely comfortable with my sexuality."
He added:
"Have you seen my girl? So I don't care about that. I'm going to keep kissing my coach, kissing my dad, kissing my brothers, so what?"
