Dricus Du Plessis’ Fiancee Vasti Spiller & Her Unknown Contribution in the South African’s Success

Dricus du Plessis is perhaps up for the biggest challenge of his career this weekend at UFC 319. The South African star will put his title on the line for a third time against the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev, and guess what? Du Plessis has admitted that there is a lot of pressure on him. However, that’s exactly the way he wants things to be because it brings out the best in him every time he steps inside the Octagon.

The chit-chat around his fighting career will never cease to exist, but the unorthodox striker’s personal life isn’t something that’s talked about often. On that note, the focus of this article is on his love life, especially his partner, Vasti Spiller. Here’s what we know.

Meet Dricus Du Plessis’ partner, Vasti Spiller

Dricus Du Plessis often refrains from sharing too many details about his personal life, and his romantic affairs are at the top of his list. Nevertheless, many fans know that the South African fighter is not married yet. Rumors were swirling about him possibly dating someone after he shared a picture with a woman on social media and wished people a happy Valentine’s Day a few years ago.

Thanks to the UFC Embedded series, we came to know about his current partner’s name. Now, while Du Plessis does not post about his love life, Vasti Spiller occasionally posts romantic pictures with the fighter. Spiller has uploaded a few amazing photos of them together, which makes it obvious that they are in a relationship.

On 14th January last year, it was du Plessis’ birthday, and Vasti Spiller shared a reel of their best moments. “Happy 30th birthday my Dric! It’s the greatest privilege to love your heart,” she wrote (Translated by Google). She also loves the farm and animals, as she is regularly seen posting about them. 

There’s very little known about Vasti Spiller’s͏ parents.͏ Her mother is Ester Spiller Coetzee,͏ and her stepfather is Chris C͏oetzee. It was in 2009 when her mother introduced her to her stepfather. However, it must be noted that Vasti Spiller’s biological father is Oades Spiller; however, very little is known about him. Meanwhile, Spiller’s parents are devout Christians and spend most of their time together.

Vasti͏ Spiller has a number of siblings, with two brothers, Brandon Oades Spiller͏ and Jonathan Dwayne Spiller, and͏ a sister, Carla Spiller, along with her step-siblings, Stian ͏Coetzee and͏͏ Minet͏ Coetzee. But now, she’s looking to create a family of her own after Dricus du Plessis finally asked her the most important question in their relationship. Let’s take a look at that front.

Dricus Du Plessis proposes to Vasti Spiller

2025 marked a new beginning in the relationship of Dricus du Plessis and Vasti Spiller as the UFC champion decided to propose to her when he celebrated his 31st birthday on January 14 last month. When he got down on one knee, she was understandably pleasantly surprised and hugged ‘Stillknocks’ immediately, accepting the du Plessis’s proposal.

“No longer two, but one,” Vasti Spiller wrote on Instagram, announcing the big news to her followers. The 26-year-old had been following her fiancé everywhere he went when he won and defended the middleweight championship, so it’s safe to say that the fans will feel her presence at the United Center when Dricus du Plessis defends his title once again this weekend. Now that we know about Spiller, let’s have a look at her occupation.

Spiller also published a book titled ‘The Art of Loving’ when she was 24. All funds collected from the book’s sales went to the B Loved Regain Program, which works to secure the well-being of vulnerable people. The book has been designed to help young children overcome trauma and the unimaginable atrocities they have been through. As reported by ‘Just A Mama’, the book has been penned from Vasti’s own life experiences and the values her mother taught her. 

Now, let’s look at the other people in her family,  and by that, we mean to see if Spiller has any children with Dricus du Plessis. Let’s take a look at that front.

Do Dricus du Plessis and Vasti Spiller have kids together?
