Joe Rogan's Family: Life with His Wife and 3 Daughters
Joe Rogan has an impressive resumé: he is a UFC color commentator, a podcaster, a comedian, an actor, and a former television presenter, but the role he is most proud of playing is that of father and husband.
Joe Rogan is a family man through and through; an adoring husband to his wife, Jessica Ditzel Rogan, and a dedicated dad to their three girls, Rosy, Lola, and Kayja Rose.

Nevertheless, when you swipe through Joe Rogan's social media accounts, you will not see a single photo of his wife or daughters. He married former model Jessica Ditzel in 2009, and they have been together ever since.
Joe was born on August 11, 1967, in Newark, New Jersey, and his father left when he was seven years old. Joe's passion was divided between comedy and martial arts; at 19, he won the US Open Tae Kwon Do Championship.
One member of the Rogan family doesn't mind publicity, and that is Marshal Mae Rogan. In fact, Marshall is a bit of a publicity hound.
On his site, Joe describes himself as a "stand-up comic, mixed martial arts fanatic, psychedelic adventurer, host of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast," he talks about his film and acting credits. Still, he leaves out Joe Rogan, the family man.
Jessica Ditzel Rogan Is a Former Model
Joe's wife, Jessica's Instagram account is private, and her
is "anonymity is underrated." The former model and cocktail waitress was born on July 18, 1975, in Sugar Land, Texas, and is eight years Joe's junior.
She attended California State University-Long Beach and had a previous relationship with R&B singer Keven "Dino" Conner, a frontman for H-Town. Jessica met Joe in 2001, and the couple dated for eight years before marrying.
Joe, who has always advocated against marriage, tells his fans that he is happily married and reveals his secret:
“She lets me do whatever I do. That’s how we get along well.”
Joe Rogan Raised His Wife's First Daughter
When Joe met Jessica, she was
of a little girl, Kayja Nichole Connor. Kayja Rose was born on August 23, 1996, and is the daughter of Jessica's former boyfriend, Dino Conner.
Conner was killed in 2003 in a car accident, and Joe reportedly adopted Kayja Rose when he married Jessica, even though she doesn't use the Rogan surname.
Kayja Rose is the only one active on social media to promote her singing career. She is a talented R&B singer and determined to follow in her biological father's footsteps. She released her first album, "Tipsy," in 2017.
They Also Have Children in Common
Kayja Rose is not the Rogans' only child. Jessica and Joe's first child together, Rosy, was born in 2008, a year before they were married. They welcomed their second daughter—Lola, in 2010.
Little else is known about Rosy and Lola since their parents keep them out of the spotlight to allow them as normal a childhood and adolescence as possible.
Another Member of the Family
One member of the Rogan family doesn't mind publicity, and that is Marshal Mae Rogan. In fact, Marshall is a bit of a publicity hound and will do anything for a belly rub from a celebrity.
Marshall is Joe's beloved Golden Retriever. He has his own Instagram account and can boast over 750,000 followers --nothing to sniff at. Every one of Marshall's posts garners tens of thousands of likes.
Marshall represents the whole family and is always ready with a smile and a tail wag. Joe features in many of Marshall's posts, and it is easy to see that the two are the best of friends.
