10 Behind-The-Scenes Joe Rogan Experience Facts
3. Joe Keeps His Family Life Private
For someone so loquacious and open about his own past and experiences, it seems somewhat strange that very little has slipped out regarding Joe Rogan’s home life.
In short, Joe has been married to Jessica Rogan (née Ditzel) since 2009, with the comedian adopting Kayja Rose, the daughter of Jessica and her previous husband Kevin Conner. Conner was a foundering member of ‘90s R&B vocal group H-Town who passed away as result of a car crash in 2003.
The couple have two children together, Rosy aged 10 and Lola 12. During JRE #1390 with Tim Dillon, Joe noted that he may not have taken the job as Fear Factor host, if he did not have two young daughters to feed at the time. Rogan expands that the pressure he felt to accumulate money and provide for the girls led to him taking a role he was not initially sold on.
In an unexpected moment from JRE #1372 with Kevin Smith, Joe confirmed he was cousins with emo ringleader Gerard Way and My Chemical Romance bandmate Mikey Way.
