LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Jeopardy!' host Ken Jennings has shared a lot about himself as a public figure in the past 20 years, ever since he came to the spotlight through the game show. It was not just through the short awkward interviews he shared with then-host Alex Trebek but also through the general curiousness of the many fans he has gathered over the years. 

Through all of that, Ken has managed to keep his family away from the flashes of his newly acquired celebrity status. Very little is known about his wife Mindy and the two children they share. But, here's all you need to know about his son Dylan Jennings. 

Who is Dylan Jennings?

Dylan is Ken's older son whom he shares with his wife Mindy. He was born two years after they got married in 2002. Ken only last year shared the latest picture of his son in which he was attending a baseball game with him. Many found Dylan to resemble the 'Jeopardy!' star very closely.



 

According to the tweet, he was then in his sophomore year in college which probably means that he has moved on to his junior year now. "The last time his team made it to the playoffs, this guy wasn't born yet. He just started his sophomore year of college. Congrats @Mariners!" Ken's tweet from 2022 said. 

'Jeopardy!' and Fatherhood for Ken Jennings

In an interview for 'Jeopardy!', years after he had taken part in the game show, Ken discussed how greatly the show had affected his life. He revealed how his luck with the game show also gave him the luxury to be a good father to his children.

"It's just the time I have now you know," he shared, "The making time for your family is so hard for so many people because of the high-stress world and it's just a luxury most people don't have. And I feel so grateful to the game show that changed my life to this." Ken also has a daughter named Caitlin with Mindy, and who was born in 2004.
