Who is Steffiana De La Cruz?
Born on 28 August 1974, in New York City, USA, under the earth sign of Virgo, Steffiana De La Cruz is a 44-year-old Filipino-American actress and model. Rather than her roles and accomplishments in the movie industry, she is probably better known for being the wife of famous comedian and actor, Kevin James. However, she first rose to fame during her relationship with the late Chris Penn, who was also renowned in the world of acting, and together, they appeared in films such as “Cement” and “Stealing Harvard”. After meeting James on a blind date, the two subsequently married and started acting together. They collaborated in “Zookeeper” and in two versions of “Paul Blart: Mall Cop”. Even though her romantic involvements allowed her to land several small roles, she refused to become complacent and managed to explore various ventures on her own.
Early Life and Education: Growing Up in New York
Steffiana was born Stephanie Anna Marie Zantua to Filipino parents, who lived in the Philippines for several decades, but moved to New York before she was born – there is no information about their names or vocations. Despite a myriad of inquiries from her fans, Steffiana has refused to reveal anything about her private life. This is a clear sign of professionalism, as she doesn’t want anything interfering with her career or the public’s perception of her character and work. She matriculated from an unspecified high school in 1992. It’s unknown whether she ever decided to prolong her studies by enrolling into college in pursuit of a degree, and thus she is generally believed not to possess an education level higher than secondary school. As a teenager, she harbored an interest for modeling, and decided to pursue this vocation. At first she didn’t have much luck, but was then noticed and started appearing in campaigns and commercials on a national level.
Meeting Chris Penn and Making Her Acting Debut
While working as a model, Steffiana started spending time with celebrities from various industries and niches. In 1993, she met the late Chris Penn, brother of Sean Penn, who is also a famous actor. The two bumped into each other at a party in Manhattan, and clicked almost instantly. After going out on a few dates, entered a relationship and moved in together. Around this time, Steffiana gave acting a chance for the first time, with her first credit being in the German crime drama series entitled “Die Gang” (“The Gang” in English). This wasn’t a high-profile role by any means, as she appeared as a masseuse in just one scene, but it gave her valuable experience and insight about acting as a profession. She then took on the role of Amanda in an episode of “Pacific Blue”, which attracted attention in the US.
Even though she and Chris Penn broke up in 1999, they remained good friends and appeared together in “Cement”, “Redemption” and “Stealing Harvard”. It’s unclear why they split up, but there were rumors that Penn’s supposed substance abuse contributed to this.
Later Roles
In 2002, we saw Steffiana appear in “The King of Queens”, returning to the show for three more episodes from 2004 to 2006. Around this time, she was already married to comedian and actor Kevin James, which resulted in a series of roles alongside her beau, including appearances in “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” and its subsequent sequel, as well as “Zookeeper”, in which she played the role of Robin. She also appeared in two episodes of Kevin James’ comedy show “Kevin Can Wait”.
Even though she was involved with two famous actors, Steffiana never really strived to land lead roles in big movies. A private person, she isn’t fond of the spotlight, and doesn’t consider herself a star or celebrity. Her humbleness and candid approach to the art of acting is precisely why she has a relatively big fanbase.

Personal Life: How Did She Meet Kevin James? Do They Have Any Children?
The story of Steffiana and Kevin’s first date is a funny one. In late 2001, she was single and wasn’t really interested in entering a serious relationship. Her friend, who was Kevin’s personal interior decorator at the time, suggested she go on a blind date. After a bit of contemplation, she decided to go for it and went on to meet the love of her life. Needless to say, sparks were evident from the get-go as the two fell for each other. They became engaged in 2003 and went on to have a beautiful wedding at St. Edward Catholic Church in Dana Point, California on 19 June 2004, with a guestlist of more than 200 people, amongst whom was actor Ray Romano. On 30 September 2005, the couple had their first child, Sienna-Marie, and two years later on 14 June 2007, they welcomed another baby girl to the world – Shea Joelle, born in Los Angeles, California. For their third child, they decided to wait a little longer, and Kannon Valentine, their first son, was born on 24 April 2011.

What is Steffiana De La Cruz’s Net Worth?
Have you ever wondered how affluent Steffiana is? According to several credible sources, her net worth is approximately $5 million, as of mid-2019. Despite not landing any significant roles in her acting career, she has quite a hefty amount to her name. It’s unknown if she’s invested in any additional ventures, but what is certain is that she has more than enough funds to live comfortably for many more years.
Social Media Presence
Thanks to the ever expanding influence that social media has on the way we express ourselves and interact with others, it is in the best interests of most celebrities to keep their fans informed about their activities and thus maintain and potentially increase their ratings and revenue. However, it doesn’t appear as though Steffiana is at all preoccupied with maintaining her involvement in this fad, seeing as her presence on social networks is all but ubiquitous at the moment. No Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts exist in her name.
