Jeff Gordon Biography (Age)

Gordon was born Jeffery Michael Gordon to Carol Ann Bickford (née Houston) and William Grinnell Gordon on August 4, 1971 in Vallejo, California. However, he was raised by his mother and stepfather, John Bickford, whom she married sometime in the ’70s after he divorced Gordon’s birth father when he was six months old.

Jeff is of Scottish and Irish descent. As a child he was fascinated by bicycles. His stepfather bought him one when he was four and his interest in horseback riding grew from there. About a year later, Gordon began racing for midgets in the quarterfinals and was judged a very brilliant racer.

By the time he was six years old, he had already set records and won almost every event he entered. It is reported that at the age of 12, Gordon became bored due to his continued success in the sport and decided to try another sport. However, he later returned, although he progressed to sprint car racing where he continued to show his brilliance. At 16, Gordon became the youngest person ever to receive a United States Auto Club license.

His cars and his fortune

The 2018 Motorsports Hall of Fame of America and 2019 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee is reported to have a net worth of approximately $200 million. The four-time Sprint Cup Series Champion has found such wealth from the deals he has secured with his team, Hendrick Motorsports, as well as the cash prizes he has won from racing and sponsorship deals with companies such as Gillette, Pepsi and Sunoco .

Jeff Gordon also has capital in his team and co-owns another of his team’s cars, driven alongside his #24 Chevrolet SS by six-time Sprint Cup winner Jimmie Johnson.

Jeff’s wife and family

Jeff Gordon is in his second marriage. He is married to Belgian model Ingrid Vandebosch, best known as a model for Christian Dior, appearing in women’s, lifestyle and fashion magazines such as Vogue, Marie Claire and Glamour. The couple first met at a mutual friend’s dinner party in The Hamptons in 2002, but didn’t see each other exclusively until 2004. After two years of dating, Gordon revealed that he had proposed to Vandebosch and they married almost immediately.

The couple traded on November 7, 2006 for a small ceremony in Mexico in front of close family and friends. Gordon and Vandebosch have two children together; Daughter Ella Sofia Gordon born June 20, 2007 and son Leo Benjamin Gordon born August 9, 2010.

Jeff Gordon was previously married to former beauty pageant winner Jennifer Brooke Sealey. Gordon and Sealey were married from 1994 to 2003 when their divorce was finalized.

Is he gay?

Jeff Gordon is not gay. As you can see above, he is happily married. The legendary NASCAR driver was falsely linked as homosexual to openly gay racer Stephen Rhodes by a fake news website in 2014.
