Comedy superstar Tiffany Haddish is the eldest of five, whom she took care of after their mother was in a life-altering accident. The actress's two half-sisters and two half-brothers, of whom only Jasmine and Justin English's names are public, are from her mother's second marriage.

Along with her famous big sister and siblings, Jasmine spent years in the foster care system in Los Angeles. She has risen above her harsh upbringing to occupy a job in a male-dominated industry and also has an interest in sports.

Features Jasmine English Shares with Her Big Sister Tiffany Haddish

On the first season of "Claim to Fame," Jasmine appeared as Kai, on which contestants like Simone Biles' sister, Adria Biles, and the granddaughter of Whoopi Goldberg, Amara Skye Dean, went undercover. In each episode, contestants guessed one person's identity.

Jasmine was not worried about contestants seeing her half-sister in her physical appearance but had some concerns, "I sometimes sound the same as my sister when I speak, and we have some of the same mannerisms."

Tiffany warned her little sister that after the reality show, she would not have the same level of privacy anymore. "My big sis is protective," she explained. "And wanted to make sure I was mentally prepared for what was to come."

Leola English Stays with One of Tiffany Haddish's Sisters

Once a dynamic small business owner and manager of a U.S. post office, their mother, Leola English, went through extreme rehabilitation when she suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car crash.

At nine, Tiffany helped with childcare and teaching her mother the things she had taught her, like tying her shoelaces. The mother of five's personality changed, and the actress was subjected to verbal and physical abuse. Jasmine and the rest of the siblings, however, were spared this treatment from Leola.

Tiffany, her sisters, and brothers were removed from their mother's care when she was 13 years old. They moved between foster homes for a year, eventually landing with their grandmother, who kept them in the system for financial assistance.

According to a 2023 profile of Tiffany Haddish, she provides financial support for her mother, who lives with one of her half-sisters. With Leola on proper medication, she now has a better relationship with her eldest.
