Though they shared several sweet father-daughter moments over the years, Jennifer's relationship with both John and her late mother Nancy Dow was strained at times. The Morning Show actress was born to Nancy and John on Feb. 11, 1969, in Sherman Oaks, California, before the family relocated to New York City where she grew up.

Nancy and John divorced when Jennifer was young, and Jennifer later described her childhood home as "destabilized" while speaking to her pal Sandra Bullock for Interview Magazine in 2020. Jennifer revealed that "growing up in a household that was destabilized and felt unsafe" helped her learn to stay afloat when things in her life didn't go as planned.
