  • Friends still in shock at Reeva's death
  • 'All she wanted was to be famous' says one
  • She 'would have married Oscar'

SHE was young, carefree and in love - with a sporting legend, and with life itself.

New photos have emerged showing Reeva Steenkamp living it up with her best friends, who are at a loss to explain the 29-year-old model's death.

Oscar Pistorius, South Africa's 26-year-old double-amputee sprint champion, has been charged with her murder.

A day after Pistorius held a private memorial for his girlfriend, who was shot dead as she sat in the bathroom of the Olympic athlete's Pretoria home in the early hours of Valentine's Day, a clearer picture continues to emerge of the blonde model's whirlwind romance with the man dubbed the Blade Runner.

Pistorius is out on bail awaiting trial.

The prosecution says he shot her in a jealous rage. Pistorius claims he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder. The trial is set down for June.

Reeva's best friend and fellow FHM model Sam Greyvenstein is still at a loss to understand why it happened.

"I can't get my head around it," Greyvenstei told Grazia magazine.

"Reeva was happy with Oscar. Everyone will say the same thing. I know him well – we all travel in the same circles. And nobody suspected that anything was out of order."

Greyvenstein and Gina Myers, who together formed part of Reeva's substitute "family" where she lived in Johannesburg, enjoyed an active social life, posting numerous photos on social media and regularly gathering at Steenkamp's favourite salon and home-from-home, Pulse.

Pulse owner Annie Philippeos said that the irony of her friend's fame is almost too much to take.

"All she wanted was to be famous," she said.

"And her career was just about to explode.

"Now, I turn on the BBC, I turn on Sky News and I see her face. The irony is that now, she's famous all over the world. Her dream was realised overnight – but in a truly unthinkable way."

She said that Steenkamp seemed excited and in love.

"She adored him," Philippeos told Grazia. "He adored her. It's the craziest thing. They were really happy.

"He (Oscar) would come in to say hi, and when he walked out she would tell all the stylists how mad she was about him. She was so happy – it's bizarre."

Pistorius and Steenkamp met in November and their relationship was going so well that marriage appeared a certainty - at least to friends of the duo.

In a statement read out to the court during Pistorius's bail hearing last week, Greyvenstein said that Steenkamp, "would have married Oscar if he'd asked her".

"She said he was intense but she loved him," Greyvenstein said, adding that he treated her "like gold".

It was backed up in another statement, from Pistorius's friend Justin Divaris, whom the athlete called after the shooting.

"I introduced Oscar and Reeva. It was obvious that they were immediately attracted to each other," Divaris said.

"Oscar said Reeva was a fantastic person who really understood him. He told me she could be the one he'd marry."

Meanwhile, Steenkamp's family has been forced to categorically deny that she was pregnant when she died.

The National Enquirer reported that Steenkamp told Pistorius that she was pregnant to placate him after he accused her of cheating on him. The report was then picked up other websites and social media.

Overnight, family spokesman Mike Steenkamp denied the reports were true and said the cover girl's mother June would have known.

"The post mortem would have revealed if Reeva was pregnant and it did not reveal anything like this. Maybe it comes from the other side, to garner and build up some sort of support for Oscar,' Mr Steenkamp told Times Live.

The pregnancy rumour is just one of several outrageous claims that have surfaced since Steenkamp was shot.

Among the more bizarre was the claim from an outspoken South African pastor that Pistorius had been "cursed" for supporting homosexuals. Pistorius was recently dropped from the "It gets better South Africa" campaign against homophobic bullying.
