When Jake Lacy received an Emmy nomination for his role in “The White Lotus,” it was regarded as the most significant success of his career yet. However, that will only be the actor’s biggest professional success. He considers his wife, Lauren Deleo, as his biggest success.
Jake Lacy and Lauren Deleo were at the 2022 Emmy Awards, and fans couldn’t help talking about their amazing appearance. The couple looked happy and satisfied. There were inclinations in Lauren Deleo’s dressing that her old creative ways were not behind her.
Read on as we dive deeper into Lauren Deleo’s life and relationship with Jake Lacy.
Who Is Lauren Deleo?
According to publicly available records, Lauren Deleo, originally from New Jersey, was born in 1982. She is not a big star in the entertainment world, so there’s little information about her background.
However, it is known that Deleo attended West Orange High School in Essex County. That shows that she grew up in New Jersey before moving to New York to pursue a career in modeling.
Lauren Deleo is very private and hardly discusses her family, parents, or siblings on social media. She has also not said much about her relationship with Jake Lacy. It was not publicly known that she was married to Lacy until the actor revealed that in a 2016 interview.
Lauren Deleo Career

Deleo has also appeared in various adverts too. She once did an advert for Victoria’s Secret and Calvin Klein. Lauren DeLeo has walked the runway too. She was involved with Donna Karan, Michael Kors, and Prada.
She is not just a pretty face and slim body. Deleo also values education which made her pursue more academic degrees. She later earned a degree in communications from the University of Southern California.
Lauren Deleo and Jake Lacy’s Relationship
Despite being a public figure, Lauren Deleo was silent about her relationship with Jake Lacy. It wouldn’t have become general knowledge that they were married if Lacy had not confirmed his marriage in 2016.
The pair wedded in August 2015, though they dated for a lot longer than that. Several pieces of information about their relationship before marriage remain unknown. For instance, it is unknown when these two met, except it could have been while she pursued her degree in California.
Jake Lacy is a man who understands the importance of making the right marital choice. He is always thankful that he made the right choice in Deleo. He calls her ‘his rock’ and says he trusts her always to have his back.
In an interview with Vulture, Lacy revealed that they have two boys together and a wholesome, happy family where Deleo stands as the key and center to their happiness. However, very little is known about their children or their family.
Jake Lacy Career
Jake Lacy is an American actor born on February 14, 1985, and grew up in Pittsford, Vermont. He attended Otter Valley Union High School, where he graduated in 2004. He later graduated from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) in Winston-Salem, where he obtained a degree in Arts.
His acting career did not pick up immediately, so Lacy depended on several odd jobs in New York following his graduation. He worked as a gym receptionist, a bar-back at a club, and a waiter while spending his daytime attending auditions. Eventually, he got his first cast as Casey in “Better.”
Lacy acted in high school and performed on professional stages in the productions of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” as Demetrius. Lacy played brief roles in a few “Guiding Light” episodes before its cancellation.
In 2010, he had a lead role in the Columbia thesis film “C’est moi.” From 2010 to 2011, Lacy starred as Casey in the ABC sitcom “Better with You.” He starred as Pete Miller, or Plop, in the ninth and last season of “The Office.” His next role was in the independent sports comedy “Balls Out,” where he played the lead Caleb Fuller who heads an intramural football team.
Jake Lacy’s Breakthrough
Lacy takes center stage for the first time with “A Friend of the Family,” Peacock’s limited series based on the childhood of actor Jan Broberg, kidnapped twice in the 1970s by charismatic family friend Robert Berchtold, affectionately known to her as “B.”
Over the last decade, the 37-year-old actor has specialized in being the kind of charming, likable bro whom you want your heroine to end up with, whether it be in “The Office,” “Girls,” “Obvious Child,” or “High Fidelity.” That reputation peaked with an actual ranking of which of his characters was the nicest.
But Lacy is ready to turn the tide by weaponizing that good-natured appeal in new ways. He began that mission on the surprise 2021 smash hit miniseries “The White Lotus,” playing sulking, entitled honeymooner Shane, a role that earned him an Emmy award nomination.
While Lacy will no doubt have more memorable roles, he is content to make memories it Deleo and their kids away from the camera.
