Jerry Seinfeld is a household name in the world of comedy, known for his iconic sitcom that aired for nine seasons in the 90s.
While many fans around the globe continue to enjoy Seinfeld’s humor, there is a growing curiosity about his family life.
The comedian shares three children with his wife, Jessica. Their eldest, Sascha Betty, was born on November 7, 2000, and recently graduated from Duke University in 2023.
Following in her father’s footsteps, Sascha has tried her hand at script writing and even contributed to an episode on season five of Inside Amy Schumer.
Jerry and Jessica’s first son, Julian Kal, was born on March 1, 2003. In 2021, Julian also enrolled in Duke University as a sociology major. He currently works as an intern for Thirty Five Ventures and as a creative consultant for LIFT Sports Management.
Their youngest, Shepherd Kellen, was born on August 22, 2005, and unlike his siblings, he prefers to stay out of the limelight and has no social media presence.
Jerry Seinfeld has been happily married to his wife, Jessica, since December 25, 1999. The couple met at a New York City gym the year prior to tying the knot. Jessica, a University of Vermont alum, founded the Good+ Foundation in 2001.
The foundation aims to empower fathers and families in marginalized communities by providing them with the education and training they need for a better life.
In an interview with Parents magazine, Jessica mentioned that Jerry took a while to step into the role of a father when they had their first child. However, as their kids grew older, Jerry became more hands-on and patient with their three teenagers.
Jessica praised her husband’s parenting skills, stating that they complement each other well.
Jerry Seinfeld’s parents, Betty and Kalman Seinfeld, played significant roles in shaping his sense of humor. Kalman, a World War II veteran, used humor to preserve sanity among soldiers by storing jokes in a “joke box.”
After the war, he opened a shop called Signfeld Signs in New York City. Sadly, both Kalman and Betty have since passed away, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire their son’s comedic career.
