Jerry Seinfeld takes rare photo with 3 kids at Duke graduation



It was a Festivus for the rest of them. 

On Sunday, Jerry Seinfeld, 71, and his wife Jessica, 53, posed for a rare photo with all three of their kids to attend 22-year-old son Julian’s graduation from Duke University. 

Julian earned his Bachelor’s degree in sociology and reportedly plans to work in sports management. 

The “Seinfeld” star and author have been married since 1999 and share Sascha, 24, Julian, 22, and Shepherd, 18.

In 2000, Seinfeld bought Billy Joel’s former home in the Hamptons for $32 million. 

“He wasn’t immediately pushing strollers and carrying babies,” Jessica told Parents magazine in 2020, referring to Jerry.

“He jokes that it took him a good 10 years to warm up. He travels often and usually over weekends, so a lot of the early caretaking, sports and activities were left to me,” she added.

“I love having a family and kids and all the madness,” Jerry told Parade in 2010. 

“There is no aspect of it I don’t like. Even when it’s horrible, I love it. I didn’t realize how tired of single life I was and how ready I was for married life.”

As the kids grew up, Jessica  explained that parenting came more naturally to the “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” host.

“I taught my daughter to drive a stick,” Jerry told People in 2016, referring to Sascha. 

She learned on “an old beat-up Land Rover with a stick shift,” he continued. “I was very proud of her. Because I’m a car guy, I want my daughter to drive a stick.”

“Jerry’s strength is now, with our three teenagers,” Jessica told Parents magazine in 2020.  

“He’s patient with them. Where I am weaker, he is stronger, and we complement each other. I wouldn’t change anything.”

Sascha also graduated from Duke, before going on to write on Amy Schumer’s Hulu show “Life & Beth.” Shepherd attends Duke, too. 

Although all three kids attended the same university — that recently got attention for getting into a public tiff with “The White Lotus” star Jason Issacs — their parents aren’t alums. 

Jerry graduated from Queens College while Jessica attended New York University. 

Jerry and Jessica have been active Duke parents, as the showbiz couple has even served as volunteer chairs of the Duke Parents Committee.
