Jaren Lewison's Siblings: He Has Only One Sister Who Is Now a Lawyer
Jaren Lewison's only sibling, Mikayla Lewison, is a force to be reckoned with. Despite the siblings taking starkly different career paths — him, an actor, and Mikayla, a lawyer — their relationship has been loving and remains strong.
Jaren Lewison joined the entertainment industry at seven years old. His first few appearances were in kids' shows, including "Gymborie Presents: Let’s Get Moving! Trains, Cars, and Planes," "Barney: Let’s Go on Vacation," and "Barney: Let’s Play Outside."
He turned to productions with a more adult tone, with minor roles in 2012's "Men, Women, and Children," "Away and Back," "Beyond The Farthest Star," and the 2015 family film, "A Horse’s Tale."

In 2018, he played 18-year-old Hoagie in the comedy-action flick, "Tag," opposite Jeremy Renner, Jake Johnson, Jon Hamm, and Annabelle Wallis. Two years later, he joined the main cast of Mindy Kaling's hit series, "Never Have I Ever."
Jaren played Ben Gross in the Netflix comedy, and the role catapulted him to worldwide stardom. It also thrust his personal life into the spotlight, and one person the actor isn't afraid to love loudly is his sister, Mikayla Lewison.
Jaren Lewison's Sister, Mikayla Lewison, Is a Juris Doctor Graduate
Mikayla graduated with a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin in 2019. She enrolled at Saint Louis University of Law the following year. Jaren celebrated his sister's achievement, writing:
"MY SISTER GOT INTO LAW SCHOOL OH MY GODDDDD!!!!! SHE DOESNT HAVE A TWITTER BUT IM SO PROUD OF HER AND I AM HER NUMBER ONE FAN!!!! AHHHHH. (sic)"
Mikayla's LinkedIn profile shows she is now a Juris Doctor graduate. Throughout her college years, Mikayla built her resume at several firms. In 2019, she interned at Blackwell-Thurman Criminal Justice Center.
She also served as a Juvenile Case Manager at Justice of the Peace in Travis County Precinct 4, a Mitigations Specialist at Mayer Consulting Solutions, LLC, a Legal Assistant at Scott H. Palmer, PC, and a Summer Intern for Philips Black Inc.
She returned as a Law Clerk at Scott H. Palmer, PC, in May 2022 and remained until August. Mikayla also volunteered consistently during her undergraduate studies. She has an active Facebook page but last shared an update in 2021.
Jaren Congratulated Mikayla When She Graduated from Law School
Jaren celebrated his sister when she got her high school diploma and was there when she received her Doctor of Law in May 2023. Alongside a photo of the siblings smiling wide, with Mikayla donning her graduation attire, he wrote:
"@mikayla_lewison graduated from law school, and I am beyond proud of her!!! If I ever decide to become a jewel thief and get caught, I know who to call!!"
Jaren Lewison Often Showers His Sister with Affection Online
The earliest picture Jaren shared with Mikayla dates back to 2012 on his Instagram account. The actor stood beside his sister, barely reaching her shoulder, as they posed with him wearing a navy graphic hoodie. Mikayla towered over him with a smile, wearing a maroon sweater.
He captioned the photo, "Casa com a devi," which translates to "Home with the devi." The following year in December, the two enjoyed skiing while on vacation. The actor posted a photo of himself and his sister from those fun times, posing in their skiing attire against a snowy background.
