FOR YEARS, Jake Tapper has captured America’s attention while covering presidential debates.
CNN viewers let him into their homes every evening, but they want to know more about the man they trust.

Does Jake Tapper have children?
Tapper and his wife share two children, Alice and Jack Tapper.
Alice is a published author at just 12 years old with a picture book titled Raise Your Hand. The book challenges young girls to use their voices and speak up.
Alice noticed that the girls in her class weren’t participating as much as the boys so she worked together with her Girl Scout troop to invent a patch that girls could earn if they took a pledge to be more confident in school.
In 2019, Tapper published an interview in which he questioned his children about how he was doing as a father.
His son critiqued Tapper, saying, “Your voice is too loud” and “I don’t like your angry eyebrow.”
His daughter commented that he needs to get better at, “Being off your phone [pauses to think] and not worrying about the world around us and just spending some quality time with us.”
She also said that her dad is good at: “Everything. And giving us a lot of attention and making sure that we’re healthy and helping us with our homework and with issues that we have.”
Who is Jake Tapper married to?
Tapper is married to Jennifer Marie Brown, who is not the author of The Hate List, despite what some sites falsely claim.
Jennifer Marie Brown was 29 years old and working as a regional field manager in Washington, D.C. for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America when she married Tapper in 2006.
The pair met at a hotel bar in 2004 while Tapper was in Des Moines covering the Iowa caucuses and have been together ever since.
In addition to taking care of her two children, Brown works with a program called Upstream, which reduces unplanned pregnancies and improves the quality of life for struggling parents and their children.
