Joe Rogan's Wife Jessica Ditzel Is a Private Woman — Here's What We Know
Joe Rogan rarely mentions his wife, Jessica Ditzel, to the public. However, there are a few known facts about the model, including her love story with Rogan that ended in marriage because of their child.
Jessica Ditzel is known for being Joe Rogan's wife, but there is a lot more to this beauty rarely hardly mentioned to the public.
Ditzel is the mother of Rogan's two biological children and one adopted child, whom she had from a previous relationship. Although the podcast host discusses several topics in his show, Rogan refrains from talking about his wife and family, making fans all the more curious.

WHO IS JESSICA DITZEL, JOE ROGAN'S WIFE?
Ditzel is a very private person. Although she has nearly 600 posts on Instagram, Ditzel keeps her social media private, with less than 200 followers only. "Anonymity is underrated," her bio read.
Born on July 18, 1975, in Sugar Land, Texas, Ditzel often gets confused with "The Simpsons" producer Jessica Schimmel because of their similar names. Ditzel was born to Jeff Conrad Ditzel, a musician and Ditch Pickles band member.
Ditzel took her education in Doherty High School Colorado Springs and attended California State University - Long Beach. After graduating, she became a model and signed with M Model Management and the Korean brand Wholesome.
She simultaneously worked other jobs, such as being a waitress at different bars, a management assistant at a car rental company, and an accountant at Robert Half Technology.
Apart from her career, Ditzel is a doting mom to three children. She welcomed her eldest daughter, Kayja Rose, during a previous relationship and has two more kids, Lola and Rosy, with Rogan. When the couple tied the knot, Rogan legally adopted his step-daughter.
JESSICA DITZEL WAS ENGAGED TO KEVIN 'DINO' CONNER
Before her relationship with Rogan, Ditzel was engaged to H-Town's lead singer, Kevin 'Dino' Conner, the father of her firstborn. The engagement was later called off, and Conner found love with his fiancee Teshya Rae Weisant.
Sadly, Conner and Weisant never got to walk down the aisle. In 2003, the pair and their unborn child died in a horrific car crash after an SUV that ran a red light ran into their car. Houston police reported that the artist came from a recording studio when his 22-year-old fiance picked him up.
JESSICA DITZEL MADE JOE ROGAN CHANGE HIS MIND ABOUT MARRIAGE
Ditzel reportedly met her husband in 2001 while working as a cocktail waitress, and he was on "Fear Factor." Romance sparked soon after, but the pair have kept their relationship away from the public eye.
After seven years of dating, the couple tied the knot in 2009 following the birth of their eldest daughter, Lola. Admittedly, Rogan did not believe in marriage then and only had to marry because of their daughter. "She made a baby," he previously said. "[It's] like, 'God, alright, I'll sign a silly legal contract.'"

He didn't think marriage was in his path, but Ditzel did more than just make him sign a piece of paper. "What she did was way more of a commitment," Rogan said. In 2015, Rogan shared the secret to their working marriage:
"Marriage is dumb. She lets me do whatever I do. That's how we get along well."
Rogan also ensured his security before marrying Ditzel by getting her to sign a prenup. "A prenup? Of course. I'm ridiculous and dumb, but I'm not stupid," he said.
JESSICA DITZEL IS A MOTHER OF THREE DAUGHTERS
Ditzel's eldest daughter, Kayja, is following in her late father's footsteps as an aspiring singer. In 2013, she shared short videos of herself singing and continued to do so until she released her R&B EP, "Tipsy," in 2017.
Her other singles, including "Selfish," "Submission," "Mental," and "Reborn," are posted on her Soundcloud. She also showcases her talents on Instagram, having thousands of followers on the platform.
Ditzel's other girls with Rogan are Lola and Rosy, born a year apart. She and her husband are firm in securing their daughters' privacy and do not share information about them on social media. However, Rogan did mention that he is more affectionate towards them when he is high.
In 2018, he also showed what their family is like behind closed doors. "We communicate a lot. We love talking. I don't want them to be like me. I want them to be themselves. I don't want them to mirror my resilience. I want them to be vulnerable if they want to be vulnerable," he said.
JESSICA DITZEL LIVES IN A GORGEOUS AUSTIN HOME
Ditzel and her husband are raising their children in an Austin, Texas, home they bought for $14.4 million in an off-market deal. The 10,890 square-foot residence boasts eight bedrooms and ten bathrooms overlooking Lake Austin.
The interior is mainly furnished with neutral colors and ample lighting from the sun through their glass-filled windows and doors. Parts of their home have dark blue accents and antique-like decorations.
The home includes a gorgeous pool by the lake, a vast garden, a patio by the lake, and a living area filled with books and vases.
JESSICA DITZEL AND JOE ROGAN'S DOG, MARSHALL, IS AN INSTAGRAM STAR
Aside from raising their kids, the couple also takes care of their adorable golden retriever, Marshall, an Instagram star with over 700,000 followers. Marshall's photos are often with his fur dad since the podcast host rarely appears alongside his kids.
Marshall is also often featured on Rogan's Instagram posts. "He's the happiest dog I've ever seen. He's so happy. He's my buddy. He's so affectionate," Rogan said.
HOW DID JESSICA DITZEL'S HUSBAND BECOME FAMOUS?
Before Rogan's fame as a podcast host, he was a stand-up comedian in Los Angeles for over two decades. In fact, his humor is documented in "Joe Rogan: Strange Times," "Joe Rogan: Triggered," and "Joe Rogan: Rocky Mountain High."
In 2002, he became a commentator for the UFC on Fox, Pay Per View, and Spike Television. He later became the host of "Fear Factor" and appeared in some films, such as "Here Comes the Boom" and "Zookeeper."
In 2009, he hosted "The Joe Rogan Experience," which became the number one podcast on Spotify. His success as a podcast host came as a surprise but continues to impress many until today. He often has discussions and arguments with his guests over controversial topics.
Personally, Joe Rogan also has preferences and beliefs that do not match the majority, including his disagreement with the need for COVID vaccines. When he previously tested positive for the virus, Rogan revealed that he had a headache and did not feel well.
However, he was able to recover well after tending to himself and taking the necessary medications for his symptoms. Rogan continues to air his sentiments to the public regarding pressing issues, and although many disagree, his word allows him to make a living.
