The former couple share son Jordan and daughter Kylie. Jordan turned 21 in January 2025 and is increasingly in the spotlight, not only as Jooste’s son but as an individual carving his own path. Kylie, who turned 19 in March 2025, has also featured frequently in her mother’s social media posts.

Joost and Amor were married in 2002, welcoming Jordan first, followed by Kylie. They later separated before Jooste’s death in 2017, after his long battle with motor neurone disease.

Jordan van der Westhuizen’s rising profile

Jordan has made headlines for his sporting and modelling pursuits. Unlike his father, who was a rugby legend, Jordan chose football, previously training with youth academies such as Valencia and Reading in the UK.

In 2025, Jordan paid tribute to his late father during a Bulls vs Sharks match by wearing a jersey referencing Jooste’s iconic No. 9 shirt. Alongside sports, he has also pursued modelling, signing with Ice Model Management.

Joost's ex-wife questioned over new look.

Briefly News earlier reported that Amor Vittone, the ex-wife of Joost van der Westhuizen, was questioned over her new look after sharing new pictures on social media.

Fans and followers were left surprised as they wondered whether the noticeable youthful appearance was a result of filters or possible cosmetic enhancements.
