Ashley Jade Stern Is the Only One of Howard Stern's 3 Daughters Who Appeared Frequently in Public with Him

Having led an illustrious career, radio and television host Howard Stern credits Ashley Jade Stern and her older sisters for his motivation. Born from her dad's first marriage of over twenty years, Ashley is the only one in her family who chose not to affiliate with Hollywood.

With all that's known about Ashley Jade Stern, the youngest daughter of the Stern family is quite close with her dad, Howard. The pair have often been spotted together enjoying basketball games, high-profile movie premieres, concerts, and parties.

Howard has always spoken fondly of Ashley, with the showbiz veteran revealing insight about his youngest daughter's life over the years. Ashley may not have seen a future in entertainment like her older sisters initially did. Instead, she geared her career toward health service.

Ashley Faced Her Parents' Divorce at an Early Age

Ashley Jade Stern drew her first breath in Long Island, New York, on January 24, 1993. She was born to Howard and actress Alison Stern, who tied the knot on June 4, 1978, and welcomed their last child in their 15th year together.

Ashley saw the end of her parents' union when she was 6. According to her dad's IMDb, he and Alison separated in October 1999 after 21 years of marriage. The former couple finalized their divorce two years later when Ashley was 8.

After his union with Alison ended, Howard proclaimed that the word "marriage" had left his vocabulary for good. Despite having found new love with Beth Ostrosky, the former "America's Got Talent" judge stated that he only saw himself living with his daughters from then onward.

Ashley Jade Stern Has Chosen a Life Away from the Spotlight

Ashley Jade Stern is a New York City-based nurse practitioner, an accomplishment her father couldn't be more proud of. She studied at the MGH Institute of Health Professions and graduated with an Np Master's, specializing in adult care. Ashely Jade currently works at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital.

A few days after her 29th birthday in January this year, Howard Stern gushed about how much his daughter had grown, admitting that he "couldn't believe it." He recounted a story where she was so small she had to get on her tippy toes to reach his hand as they walked in the streets of Manhattan.

Ashley Is on Good Terms with Her Father's New Wife

Although Ashley's father implied he wouldn't marry after divorcing his wife of 23 years, his mind evidently changed in 2008 when he married his beau, actress Beth Ostrosky. Ashley's mother, Alison Stern, also moved on and remarried a man named David Scott Simon in 2001.

Since Beth joined the family, she has been a part of Howard and Ashley's outings over the years. During their frequent appearances in public, the three always seem to be having a good time. Therefore, Ashley and Beth have likely developed a good relationship and remained on good terms.

Ashley Jade Stern's Sisters

Emily Stern is Ashley's eldest sister. She was born in Long Island, New York, on May 7, 1983. According to Hollywood Life, Emily earned a Theatre degree at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and pursued a professional acting career.

Unfortunately, she was involved in a scandal in 2005 when she was cast in a controversial stage production titled "Kabbalah." After it fizzled out, Emily geared her focus toward the Jewish faith and became a Torah Scholar at the Drisha Institute. However, she didn't completely abandon her artistic inclinations.

According to The New York Post, Emily continued working as a writer, actress, musician, and photographer. Still, she struggled with her dad's fame growing up and now guards her personal life. Her younger sister, Deborah Stern, also had a short stint with Hollywood.

Deborah drew her first breath on May 9, 1986. The former actress appeared in the sitcom "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" and a few films before becoming an avid scholar and alumna at the University of Pennsylvania.

Deborah holds two PhDs; one in humanitarian services as an Independent Education Consultant and one in Reading, Writing, and Literacy. In 2016, she married the Hapa Inapa Designs founder, Colin Christy. Since the couple lives privately, it's unknown whether they have children.

Howard Stern released his book "Howard Stern Comes Again" in 2019. The author and radio host mentions Ashley, Deborah, and Emily in his book, crediting his daughters as his main motivation. He also expressed his "over-the-top" pride for them and hoped they were proud of the work he had accomplished too.

Earlier this year, Howard revealed that Ashley was engaged. However, he didn't divulge any more details about that announcement. So nothing is known about Ashley's future husband, as she has no social media pages. All the information available about Ashley has been from her dad's words.
