Okay, so I saw this thing online, people were talking about Dricus Du Plessis and whether he’s gay or not. I got curious, so I started digging around to find out what’s up.
First, I went through a bunch of articles and social media posts. Seems like there was some buzz about this, especially after the Rugby World Cup in 2023. But it wasn’t really clear what was going on. I found one interview where he mentioned something about it on The Shadow Banned Show, but he didn’t really get into it.
- Checked out some articles.
- Looked at social media posts.
- Found an interview on The Shadow Banned Show.
So, then I decided to look into his personal life a bit more. Turns out, this guy’s got a girlfriend. Her name is Vasti Spiller, and they’ve been together for a while. I found out about her from this series called “Still Knocks” during his fight camp for UFC 297. They seem pretty serious, so that kind of throws a wrench in the whole “is he gay?” question.
- Found out he’s dating Vasti Spiller.
- Learned about her from the “Still Knocks” series.
Next, I tried to see if Dricus himself has said anything about the rumors. But as far as I could find, he hasn’t really addressed them publicly. He did mention something about African culture and how greetings can be different, during an interview, but that’s about it. He explained that the action was not a big deal in African culture and it was seen as a greeting. So maybe it’s all just a big misunderstanding?
- Tried to find if Dricus addressed the rumors.
- Found a mention about African culture.
Then, I did a little digging into his background. He was born to Japie and Gerda Du Plessis, who met at Theunissen Hoerskool in South Africa. It seems like his family is pretty supportive of his fighting career.
- Dug into his family background.
- Found out about his parents and their support.
My conclusion?
It looks like Dricus Du Plessis is straight. He’s in a relationship with Vasti Spiller, and there’s nothing solid to suggest otherwise. All the gay rumors seem to be just that – rumors, maybe based on some cultural misunderstandings. He beat Israel Adesanya last month and retained his middleweight crown. So, that’s what I found out. It was an interesting little investigation, but it seems like there’s not much to it in the end.
