While their relationship became public knowledge in 2021, the roots of their love story trace back to 2017. This was a significant step for Buss after her previous relationship with Phil Jackson came to an end in 2016. Since then, Buss and Mohr have remained inseparable, their love growing stronger by the day. Their engagement was announced in December 2022, and the two walked down the aisle just nine months later.
Jeanie Buss has solidified her place as one of the most influential women in sports. Since becoming the controlling owner of the Lakers in 2013 after her father’s passing, she has driven the team to continued success.
Forbes estimates her net worth at around $500 million, and she has expanded her influence by co-owning Women of Wrestling. Which is a venture that now reaches over 200 US markets thanks to a syndication deal she helped secure.
Who is Jeanie Buss’ husband Jay Mohr?
Jay Mohr, on the other hand, has made a name for himself in the world of comedy. With an estimated net worth of roughly $4 million, he has had a successful career marked by his talent for making people laugh.
Additionally, he is also known for his acting skills and brilliant performances. He gained prominence for his portrayal of Professor Rick Payne in ‘Ghost Whisperer‘ and made his mark in Hollywood with his debut in ‘Jerry Maguire’. Mohr’s diverse career includes podcasting and hosting ‘Jay Mohr Sports.’
Before finding love with Buss, Mohr had previously been married twice. His first marriage to Nicole Chamberlain lasted for six years, and they share a son named Jackson. Following this, he tied the knot with Nikki Cox, and the couple welcomed a son named Meredith before their divorce in 2018.
Buss also had her share of previous marriages and relationships. She was previously married to former professional volleyball player Steve Timmons. However, it was her high-profile, long-term relationship with former Los Angeles Lakers coach Jackson that drew significant attention. Despite being engaged for four years, the couple eventually separated in 2016.
