HOMETOWN VISIT ON VIDEO

Jason’s visit was fully documented in a video he shared on YouTube. The 10-minute film titled “Visited my home state Iowa” featured his friendly gatherings, his dinner dates, and even a trip down memory lane to his old high school. The highlight, of course, was his visit to his grandmother.

“I came home to see my grandma. She’s still got it. She’s still got her spirit. It was awesome seeing her and seeing my whole family on my mom’s side,” he said on the clip.

Jason conclude the clip by saying,

“It’s crazy because you go from Hawaii, where I was raised — but this is where I was raised. These cornfields. This is America, and it feels like home to me. Well, it is home.”

HOME WITH HIS WIFE AND KIDS

Home for Jason today is also where his wife, Lisa Bonet and their children live. He and Lisa have made quite an impression as a couple since they forged a relationship in 2005. They met at a bar, describing it as being at the right place at the right time and it was pretty special for Jason who harbored a crush on Lisa since he was 8 and she was 20.

All’s well in the world of this endearing family man.
