Her birthplace is recorded as Thembisa, a large town situated to the north of Kempton Park on the East Rand, Gauteng, South Africa. However, she didn’t grow up in her birthplace.

The name of her father is Jet Strijbos but she has not disclosed her mother’s name. Strijbos is said to have died many years ago.

How Did Titus Welliver and Jose Stemkens Meet?

Titus Welliver and Jose Stemkens got married on 12th April 2014. Information about how and when exactly they met for the first time is not public knowledge. However, several reports show that they dated for a couple of years before they decided to seal their love with marriage. This means that they kept their relationship away from the media until they tied the knot.

Their wedding ceremony was held at Saddle Peak Lodge in Calabasas, California, United States of America. It was a public ceremony graced by celebrities and high-profile people, especially from the entertainment and fashion industry. The bride, Jose, who was the center of attraction, was adorned in a beautiful gown made by Herve Leger, looking ravishing and stunning.

The wedding was overall planned by Tiana Scharf from The Exotic Green Garden. She also took care of the flowers while the guest was properly entertained by Trash Honey. It was a beautiful and joyous occasion, especially for the couple who almost immediately after took to their individual social media pages to celebrate their union.

“A most glorious and magical day! We are blessed!,” the movie star announced to her fans on Twitter that he had tied the knot for the fifth time. At this time, Titus Welliver is already a well-established name in Hollywood. Meanwhile, some were of the opinion that Jose and Titus have a huge age gap, while many others were simply of the view that age is just a number.

A graduate of New York University with a degree in Drama, Titus Welliver had his debut acting roles in 1990 with the movie Navy Seals and the TV series Matlock. Welliver has since acted his best roles in the movies Sons of Anarchy, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Lost, The Doors, Bosch, Deadwood, and Once in the Life, among others.

They Got Divorced After Just Seven years

Jose Stemkens and Titus Welliver’s marriage officially lasted for seven years. According to court documents, Titus filed for divorce on 3rd April 2019, but the proceedings lingered for over a year and were eventually finalized in January 2021 when they were officially declared divorced by the court.

Titus Welliver was ordered by the presiding judge to pay the sum of $27,000 to Jose on a monthly basis. The judge also proceeded to apportion a fair share of their joint assets. While Jose got the family’s six horses and a 2017 Range Rover, Titus was allowed to keep some of his properties, including his bank accounts, residuals, and a Mini Cooper, and a 2014 Harley-Davidsin, among other things.

Notably, Jose Stemkens is not the first wife of Titus Welliver but the fifth. The Lost actor had been through four marriages before he met and married Jose.

His daughter Cora was a product of his fourth marriage with Elizabeth W. Alexander, while he had his two sons, Eamonn and Quinn, with Joanna Heimbold. There is little or no information about them in the media, and given that Jose is no longer married to their father, they seemingly no longer have any relationship.

Thanks to her hard work and dedication throughout working with the firm, Jose started getting open doors, which introduced her to wider opportunities and new experiences. She got promoted to the rank of Assistant Manager, where she worked at the company’s sales post point. Not long after, she was promoted to Store Manager.

At the age of 21, Jose had already mastered the skills of wholesale fashion, which helped her to earn a high-profile position at a wholesale fashion store in Dusseldorf. Shortly, she landed another plum position as the firm’s sales manager. With this position, she got benefits like a bi-monthly tour to Asia, which no doubt widened her experience and exposure to the fashion world.

In 1995, Jose Stemkens started working with Espirit, an international brand in the fashion industry. Espirit is popularly known for making and selling casual outfits that are marketed across several parts of the world. During her time at the clothing line, Jose served as the senior project manager and was opportune to manage the Hong Kong branch of the company.

The brand was also extended to other locations, including Los Angeles and New York, during the time she worked with them. She worked with Espirit for 10 years and built great work relationships with people and other businesses, as well as an impressive portfolio for herself. Following her departure, she proceeded to work with The Great China Wall, another high-profile clothing firm that specializes in making and marketing casual clothing.

Their apparel can be found in luxury boutiques globally. Stemkens worked with The Great China Wall as an international account manager. She left the company in 2009 and moved to a Dutch clothing business where she worked at Dept & JC RAGS as the president. She oversaw the company’s exponential growth in the US.

Jose Stemkens Launched Her Own Firm in 2014

The South African-born fashion designer Jose Stemkens is currently the founder and CEO of Sunrise Fashion Consulting. She launched the company in 2014. Having gathered a wide range of experience in the world of fashion, working as a paid employee, Jose Stemkens saw some gaps that needed to be covered, and that inspired her to establish her own fashion firm.

Sunrise Fashion Consulting offers her clients diverse consulting services as well as the needs of international brands who desire to make an entry into the US fashion industry. Besides helping companies establish connections in the United States, Joses’s fashion consulting firm also helps companies get some necessary help with financial support, public relations, and marketing.

The firm currently works and partners with A-list fashion brands such as Freddy, Superfine, Lui Jo, and Cocurata, among others. Thanks to her high taste in fashion, Jose is doing incredibly well with his fashion firm, and this has established her name in the American fashion world. She made the news in 2017 after she collaborated with fellow fashion icon Jane Munro-Altinok.

The two fashion stars worked together to create a fashion brand known as Eywasouls Malibu. The company has a website that states that it took its inspiration from the blue ocean waves and the golden sands of beaches, including the Malibu lifestyle. To say the least, Jose Stemkens had already carved a niche for herself long before she met and married Titus Welliver.

The style expert has also maintained the name she made for herself in the fashion industry after she got divorced from the actor. Her collaborations with international brands and American movie stars propelled her career to incredible heights. From what is obvious, she still has greater heights to attain, considering her great work ethic.

Where Is Jose Stemkens Now?

Titus Welliver’s wife, Jose Stemkens, currently resides in Los Angeles, California, where her fashion company is based. After her divorce from the actor, she withdrew herself from the glamour of being a celebrity wife, making it difficult to get some personal information about her.

As a matter of fact, although she had been doing well for herself even before she came into the limelight following her marriage to Welliver, Stemkens has never been one to be involved in public fame. So, apart from her burgeoning fashion career, which is an open book, keeping a tab on her love life seems difficult.

However, some reports show she has remained single to date. It is only known that she remains the CEO of Sunrise Fashion Consulting and the co-owner of Eywasouls Malibu. Meanwhile, the case is not the same on the flip side. Jose’s ex-husband, Titus Welliver, has since moved on not only with his professional career but also with his love life.

He is currently dating Samantha Edge, a South Australian Singer, Songwriter, Pianist, and seasoned Busker. Moreover, news recently broke that they got engaged in May 2022 and are planning to get married. If the news is anything to go by, then Titus Welliver is heading for his sixth wedding.
