Nina Yankovic is best known as the daughter of the award-winning artist Weird Al and his wife, a marketing executive named Suzanne Yankovic. Weird Al has an almost cult following thanks to his works as an artist, but it would seem such a legacy, incredible as it were, was not enough to draw Nina to showbiz.
The gorgeous Yankovic is more grounded and is particular about preserving it. It is one of the remarkable things about her, but there are others you’ll discover if you keep reading.
Who Is Nina Yankovic?
Nina Yankovic is the only daughter of singer and actor Weird Al and his wife, Suzanne Yankovic. The pair welcomed her on February 11, 2003, in Los Angeles, California, USA. Nina was raised with love, as her parents are pretty hands-on about parenting.
Despite how busy their respective careers are, Nina’s parents always make time for her, and they grew up as a close family unit. Rolling Stone revealed that one of their favorite pastimes while Nina was growing up was camping out on their deck, which had the whole of LA spread out in front of them.
According to Nina, the bonding activity even included their family dog.
She said: “All four of us get into the tent. We take out mini marshmallows, put them on sticks, and roast them over a candle. It’s really fun. Sometimes, an owl comes onto a tree, and we look at him with binoculars.”
Some other activities Nina enjoyed while growing up included playing with her pet bird, reading books, and, sometimes, assembling robot arms.
Nina Yankovic Education
Weird Al’s precocious little girl is older and has left the nest searching for knowledge. After high school, Nina Yankovic enrolled in Williams College, a liberal arts college in Williamstown, Massachusetts.
She is expected to complete her course and graduate in 2025. What she studies has yet to be revealed, but we know where her interests lie.
Nina Yankovic Career
At this time, Nina does not have a job. She is currently studying in college, but many suspect she is likely to pursue a career linked to environmental preservation.
As a child, Nina was always interested in all things nature. According to her father, she was always out playing in nature rather than watching TV like he used to at her age.
Nina is also an environmental activist. She has worked with Environment California, a group famous for advocating for animals and the environment. What she’ll do with her life remains to be seen, but all hints point away from showbiz.
Nina Yankovic Age
The younger Yankovic was born on February 11, 2003, which makes her 20 years old as of 2023.
Nina Yankovic’s Net Worth
Weird Al’s daughter is known as an environmental activist. However, these days, she is working hard to excel in college. As such, her net worth is unknown for now.
One thing we’re sure of, however, is that she lives a luxurious life thanks to her parent’s riches. Her father, the Grammy Award-winning artist, is worth around $20 million, while her mom has a net worth of $1 million.
Nina Yankovic’s Parent
Weird Al and his wife Suzanne have one of the longest-standing marriages in Hollywood. The pair were introduced to each other by their mutual friend Bill Mumy, who portrayed Will Robinson on “Lost In Space.”
At first, Suzanne had her doubts. She recalled: “I thought to myself, ‘Oh, I don’t know about this.’ Then I thought, ‘That’s kind of shallow of me to just be looking at a persona. People are often so different than how they appear.’ And we clicked immediately.”
Before they eventually met face to face, the pair had several phone dates, all of which proved to Weird Al that he had found the one.
He said: “I hadn’t even seen her, but I already had a major crush. She was asking me all these questions about my life, and I said, ‘You can just watch my VH1 Behind The Music tomorrow.'”
Speaking about how long it took them to get married, Weird Al revealed that they took their time because neither of them had been married, and neither wanted to do it again.
The talented artist was single even into his 40s. He may even have remained that way since he enjoyed the bachelor life. However, after getting married and welcoming Nina, he realizes how much happier he is. He also knows that there’s no going back for him.
Other famous stars in happy, long-lasting marriages include Michael & Shakira Caine, Samuel L. & LaTanya Richardson Jackson, and Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson.
