Take a peek into the life of Dr. Phil’s son, as we’ve compiled everything there is to know about him.
Early life and family
Jay Phillip McGraw was born on September 12, 1979 and will be 41 later this year (2020). Jay’s hometown is in Wichita County, Texas, USA, and he is the eldest of two boys born to Phillip and his wife Robin. Jay’s younger brother, Jordan, pursued a career in music, while Jay followed in his father’s footsteps. Jay had spent most of his life in Texas, including college.
With his father’s success, one would expect him to have had a lavish and rich upbringing, but a generally uneventful childhood.
Schooling
Jay graduated from Greenhill High School in Addison, Texas and received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. Jay continued his education at Southern Methodist University, Plano, Texas, where he earned a Juris Doctor degree in law.
Career
Jay’s career took off when he published his first books; these are all titles aimed at improving the lives of children and adolescents. He established himself as an author with titles such as “The Ultimate Weight Solution For Teens: The Seven Keys To Weight Freedom”, “Life Strategies for Teens”, and “Closing The Gap: A Strategy For Bringing Parents and Teens Together”.
Jay co-founded the production house Stage 29 Productions with the help of his father, Dr. Phil, and also helped out with a few Dr. Phil Show productions.
His career as a producer had many highlights and won him a few awards; these productions include “Decision House” in 2007, “The Doctors” in 2008, and in 2016 he was the producer of “Taurus”.
Jay was also the host of the hit reality TV series “Renovate My Family”, dedicated to renovating the homes and lives of ordinary American citizens who needed help. It was on the show’s set that Jay met his future wife Erica, who is part of a group of triplets.
Apart from that, Jay is also a popular personality and motivational speaker, having appeared on such shows as ‘The Early Show’, ‘Good Morning America’, ‘Entertainment Tonight’ and ‘Today and Extra’.
Jay was also a columnist, with articles for “Cosmo Girl” and “Seventeen” magazine. In recent times, Jay has continued his career as president and co-founder of “Doctor on Demand” with Adam Jackson. He also owns “RumorFixed,” a website that has been criticized for being too similar to “Gossip Cop.”
Hobbies, favorite things and interesting facts
Jay is certainly a talented man. Not only did he complete two very difficult degrees in college, but he is also a capable athlete.
He is good at golf and loves to play the sport, but keeps active by practicing taekwondo and was even awarded a black belt in his chosen martial art. In addition to this, there is both a licensed airman and a scuba diver. With all those brains and brawn behind it, he was sure to have a successful life.
Relationships
Jay has only had one romantic involvement that has caught the public eye, and it just so happens to be with his soul mate and partner, Erica Dahm.
