Childhood and youth
At the end of the second autumn month of 1986, on the 23rd, in the American city of Anderson, where many professional athletes – baseball players, football players and basketball players – come from, the vice president of MUFG Union Bank Don and his wife Judy Stroup had a second child. The family clearly respected the letter D – the eldest son was named Dave, and the youngest daughter – Jessica Lee. By the way, Emilia Clarke, the future star of Game of Thrones, was born on the same day in London .
According to the celebrity, from childhood she grew up surrounded by boys and therefore could stand up for herself, learned to fight to the end and love horror films.

The couple stayed in a relationship for a little less than two years – the paparazzi noticed Jess without a lover at the Breakthrough of the Year awards ceremony in August 2010.
Now the woman prefers to hide the details of her personal life – on her Instagram you can find many photos with family, friends and colleagues, but pictures with a possible chosen one are not published. But on social networks, the star of television series does not hesitate to seem funny, for example, sitting on a tree in a swimsuit and comparing himself to a monkey.
Stroup has repeatedly admitted that she is a big fan of volleyball, loves all sorts of smells, in men she is most attracted to her hair, and in food – salad with quinoa or arugula with chicken or shrimp.
