Engagement Ring, Married 

She is married to Jeopardy! Host, Alex Trebek. The duo first met at a party in 1988.

It was like love at first sight as they both got attracted to each other and decided to get together. 

The love-struck couple dated for two years before getting engaged in 1989. 

Alex proposed Jean on her 26th birthday as he handed her black velvet pants and a matching bolero jacket along with a beautiful engagement ring.  

It was a 16-carat sapphire ring surrounded by diamonds. The young and gorgeous lady said yes to his proposal and ran out crying.

On April 30, 1990, they exchanged wedding vows in Los Angeles’ Regency Club with 150 attendees.

 The couple was blessed with their first child, Matthew just three weeks after they got hitched. Alex said, 

“We wanted to have children, but we didn’t think it would happen that quickly – three weeks after we got married!”

They were blessed with their second child, a daughter named Emily, in 1993. As of now the family of four is living happily in Studio City.

It is known that Jean is not the first wife of Alex. He was previously married to a businesswoman named Elaine Callie from 1974 to 1981. They had no children together.
