After 14 years of marriage, Van Jones and Jana Carter have decided to go their separate ways.
The Emmy winner and his ex-wife share two sons named Mattai and Cabral. However, Van also has two younger children from a later relationship with his longtime friend, Noemi Zamacona.
Noemi, who is based in Los Angeles, is a prison reform activist and criminal defense auditor. She and Van welcomed their first child, a daughter, in February 2022. Following the birth of their daughter, Van expressed his gratitude and joy, stating that they will raise their child as co-parenting partners. The couple later welcomed a second child, a baby boy in May 2024.
Van and Jana finalized their divorce in 2019, after announcing their decision to part ways in 2018. Despite the end of their marriage, they maintain a strong co-parenting relationship and continue to support each other’s growth and businesses.
Van Jones has spoken openly about his experience as a father of four, emphasizing the importance of conscious co-parenting. He hopes that more people will explore this concept and consider it in their own relationships. The CNN commentator is thankful for the blessings in his life and the love and support from those around him.
