Jermaine Jakes rose to prominence as the second son of Thomas Dexter Jakes, famously known as Bishop T.D. Jakes. Bishop T.D. Jakes is an American non-denominational Christian preacher, author, and film producer. He is the senior pastor of “The Potter’s House,” a non-denominational American megachurch.

In addition, Jermaine’s father is one of America’s most influential pastors. His charisma and powerful wisdom have earned him a vast audience worldwide. However, despite being the son of a renowned pastor, Jermaine Jakes has been in the headlines for the wrong reasons and has been the subject of several homosexuality rumors. Consequently, many are curious to get an insight into the life of the celebrity pastor’s son.

Here’s what we know.

How Old Is Jermaine Jakes?

Jermaine Jakes was born to his parents, T.D. Jakes and Serita Jakes, on January 4, 1980. Hence, he is 43 years old. While his birthplace is unknown, Jermaine was born in the United States of America and is of African-American ethnicity. In addition, the famous pastor’s son grew up with his siblings and parents and had a happy childhood. 

Although he hasn’t revealed much about his upbringing, Jermaine Jakes grew up in Dallas, Texas, where he had his elementary education. Afterward, he enrolled at the Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Magnet Center High School in 1996. After graduating high school in 1999, online reports suggest Jermaine proceeded to the University. However, there are no details regarding his University education. 

What Does Jermaine Jakes Do for a Living?

Jermaine Jakes started working as the Lead Stage Manager in his father’s church in April 2015. However, he holds two positions in “The Potter’s House.” In addition to his role as the Lead Stage Manager, Jermaine also works as a Data Entry Analyst at T.D. Jakes Ministries in Dallas, Texas.

He assumed this role in January 2018 and has worked in it ever since. Aside from his designated roles, Jermaine Jakes also holds other titles in the church, including Production Manager of Staging, Production Director, and Coordinator of Volunteers. 

Who Is Jermaine Jakes’ Mother?

Jermaine’s mother is Serita Jakes. She was born Serita Ann Jamison in Beckley, West Virginia, United States, on August 9, 1955. While Serita’s father was a coal miner who raised her in church, her mom died of Guillan-Barre Syndrome, in which the body’s immune system attacks the nerves. She also had an older brother who got shot. 

Although her mother and brother’s loss affected her and led her into an abusive relationship, she has made a name for herself. Jermaine Jake’s mother has dedicated her entire adult life to serving the church. Serita is an author, speaker, and visionary. She serves alongside her husband as a minister of the 30,000-member Dallas-based church, The Potter’s House.

Like her son, Serita also holds several positions at her church. She is the executive director of women’s and children’s affairs. She oversees a mentoring program for academically astute girls ages 10 and 17 and leads a program dedicated to bettering women who encounter life challenges.

Who Is Jermaine Jakes’ Wife?

Jerman Jakes’ wife does not exist, as he has not publicly stated that he has tied the knot. The famous pastor’s son has been leading a low-profile life and has not revealed any details regarding his past or present romantic relationships. Consequently, it’s safe to say Jermaine Jakes is single.

Bishop TD Jakes Scandal

Famous for his preachings against homosexuality, Bishop T.D. Jakes made headlines when his son’s arrest became public. Jermaine Jakes got arrested for indecent exposure in the presence of undercover Dallas police at Kiest Park on January 3, 2009. 

According to the ensuing reports, Jermaine was at Kiest Park when he accosted an undercover detective with his pants undone. He reportedly performed lewd acts and later jerked off while establishing eye contact with the cop. After his arrest, the authorities rated his offense as a “Class B” misdemeanor, which is punishable by a $2,000 fine and a six-month jail term.

After the turbulence that came with Jermaine’s arrest, Bishop T.D. Jakes made a public statement admitting his son’s indiscretion. Although he insisted that he could not disown his son, it goes without saying that Jermaine’s actions dented the Jakes family name. 

How Many Siblings Does Jermaine Jakes Have?

Jermaine Jakes grew up alongside four siblings, Jamar, Cora, Sarah, and Thomas Jakes. Jamar Jakes is the older brother of Jermaine. Although Jamar and Jermaine celebrate their birthday yearly on January 4, they are not twins.

Jamar is a Manager at “The Potter’s House” and a Business engineer at TDJ Enterprises. Next is Cora Jakes, the immediate younger sister to Jermaine Jakes. Like her siblings, she works as a preacher and associate pastor in their father’s church. 

After Cora comes Sarah Jakes, the youngest girl and the most popular of the Jakes siblings. She is a best-selling author, motivational speaker, media personality, and businesswoman. Lastly is Thomas Dexter Jakes Jr., named after their famous father. He is a media personality and a music producer. 

Like Jermaine Jakes, another celebrity son who has gained media attention is Dakota Alan Norris, actor Chuck Norris’ son.
