Jim Harbaugh is an American football coach currently serving as the head coach of the University of Michigan’s Wolverines team. A former quarterback who played in the NFL for 14 seasons, Harbaugh comes from a family of football enthusiasts. His father Jack was a coach and so is his older brother John, the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
Harbaugh will be looking to pass down the football genes to his kids; he has seven children from two marriages. He was first married to Miah Harbaugh from 1996 to 2006. The marriage produced three children; Jay, James, and Grace before coming to an end. In 2008, Jim married Sarah Feuerborn and the union has so far produced four children; Addison, Kathrine, Jack, and John.

Jay, however, appears not to be Jim’s biological son as he was born before his mom met and began dating the football player. Regardless, Jim adopted him and he has become very much a part of the family.

Jay was born in San Diego in 1989. He played football at Oregon State University as a defensive lineman but a knee injury ended his career. He has since launched a career as a coach, currently serving as an assistant (special teams coordinator and safeties coach) to his father at the University of Michigan.

Jim and Miah Divorced in 2006
Jim Harbaugh’s devotion to football is believed to have been the reason his first marriage collapsed. He did not have time for his family and so he and his wife began to drift apart. They would eventually get divorced in 2006. Miah and the kids subsequently moved to Coronado, California where she lived a private life away from the media that her husband’s career attracted.
