One of her sons, Greyson Valor, suffers from speech abnormality and is unable to speak even after turning 2. JWoww revealed her son’s condition via a long social-media post and stated that she had to take him to for therapy thrice a week.
In a recent interview, she stated that she felt guilty about treating her mother badly, as she had been suffering from mental issues.
JWoww was born Jennifer Lynn Farley, on February 27, 1986, in Franklin Square, New York City. She went through a difficult childhood, and most of her younger years had been spent without a mother.
Her mother had some deep mental issues. Jennifer was mostly raised by her father, Terry Farley, as her parents were separated. Jennifer once told her father that she would be fine if he divorced her mother. Her parents divorced soon after.
Jennifer grew up at a time when computers had started to become an essential part of everyday lives. She was fascinated by the thought of working in the domain of computers. Soon, she developed an interest in graphic designing.
She finished her high-school education from ‘Columbia High School’ in New York and then enrolled at the ‘New York Institute of Technology.’ While in college, she had to work as a nanny to support herself financially.
By the time she was in her final year of college, she had lost her interest in graphic designing. However, to be on the safer side, she opened her own graphic designing firm, which remained her main source of income.
During her final year in college, in 2009, she bagged the chance to appear on the popular MTV reality show ‘Jersey Shore.’ As she had lost interest in graphic designing by then, she accepted the offer.
The show was being launched in America and Jennifer appeared in its first season, as one of its eight contestants. During the course of the show, she became one of the most-loved contestants. She was too confident and always protested against injustice.
The show’s format had eight contestants spending time together at a house in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. Her popularity rose when she continued to appear in the subsequent seasons of the show. The show moved from New Jersey to Florida and then to Italy in the following seasons.
Over time, the show became one of the most popular reality shows on American TV. Jennifer’s popularity soared and several more reality-show producers started approaching her. By then, she had become the ultimate diva of reality TV. During the first season of the show, she was named “JWoww,” as the male contestants stated that whenever she walked into the room, they could not help but exclaim “J wow.”
Her second reality-show appearance was on ‘Snooki & Jwoww,’ another MTV reality show. The show was a spin-off to ‘Jersey Shore’ and co-starred Snooki, her housemate from the ‘Jersey Shore’ days. The show’s format had been inspired by the format of ‘Laverne & Shirley.’ The show became one of the most successful MTV reality shows of the year.
