Let’s meet Jim Harbaugh’s children.
Meet Jay, the First of Jim Harbaugh’s Children
Jim’s eldest son Jay Harbaugh was born June 14, 1989, in San Francisco. Jay is a graduate of St. Augustine High School, where he played defensive line and would have had an active and successful football career if a knee injury didn’t end his playing days.
He moved on to earn a degree in sociology at Oregon State University. He is a professional American football coach with many records across various teams. Jay worked as an undergraduate assistant at Oregon State University for four seasons and spent three seasons under his uncle, John Harbaugh, at the Ravens.
In 2015, he moved on to serve as the tight ends coach of the Michigan football team and assistant special team coach for the Wolverines. He is still with the team to date and married with two kids.
What About Jim’s Other Children With His First Wife?
26-year-old James Harbaugh, Jim’s second son, prefers the art world to sports. He was born on September 4, 1996. The young man who identifies as a part of the LGBTQ+ has acquired a BFA in directing from the University of Michigan, where he majored in theater.
In an interview, James talked about his father’s reaction to him coming out. He said his father was very supportive and encouraging, assuring him that everything would be fine. He says his fears went down the drain as he saw such love and support from his father. James Harbaugh loves the outdoors and is often spotted enjoying the beautiful sights of nature.
22-year-old Grace Harbaugh is Jim’s third and last child with his ex-wife Mia. Grace followed her family’s track in sports and found her lane in water polo. She has been playing water polo since she was 14 and has won many medals. Grace played water polo at Coronado High School, where she graduated in 2019. She majored in the History of Art at the University of Michigan.
Jim Harbaugh’s Children With His Second Wife, Sarah
Jim has four children with his current wife, Sarah.
Addison Harbaugh is Jim’s first daughter with his second wife, Sarah. However, much isn’t known about her or her sister Katherine, Jim’s second child and daughter with Sarah. Both girls live their young lives away from the public.
11-year-old Jack Harbaugh, Jim’s first son, and third child with Sarah, seems more eager about sports than his sisters. However, like his sisters, little is known about the young boy. Jack was named after his grandfather, who not only played American football but also went on to become a coach before retiring. While he has yet to follow any career path, Jack is often spotted with his dad and usually attends games.
Jim’s last child is 6-year-old John Harbaugh. He was named after his uncle John William Harbaugh. John Williams is the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL) head coach. He is so busy being a kid and hasn’t shown any interest in sports. However, coming from a line of amazing sportspersons, it won’t be surprising if he chooses a similar career when he is older.
Jim Harbaugh’s History With the Twin Code
There has been quite a lot of speculation that Jim had twin children. However, this idea is false as all Jim’s children are born in different years.
There have also been rumors that Jim is a twin to his brother John. This is also false. Jim was born in 1962, and his younger brother in 1963. It is, however, because of the closeness in their age that people consider them to be twins.
While Jim might not be with his ex-wife anymore, he is still very much involved in the lives of the children they had together. The NFL coach also has a unique and trusting relationship with his children, strengthening their family’s bond.
