The Truth About Jazz Jennings' Parents

According to Heavy, Jennings isn't actually the family's last name. It was changed when they decided to go on reality TV, in order to protect their privacy. Likewise, the location of their home has not been revealed; all fans know is it's located somewhere in south Florida. Jazz's parents founded the TransKids Purple Rainbow Foundation, which is focused on bringing awareness to trans rights and to improving the lives of trans children and teenagers. They work with a licensed mental health counselor, also.

Jeanette is super active on social media, starting the #JazzHands movement back in 2017 in order to increase awareness of and education about trans rights. TLC donated $1 to the foundation for every photo posted with the hashtag. Fans of I Am Jazz will know the Jennings were very supportive of their daughter throughout her transition, putting her on hormone therapy to stall male puberty right at the beginning of her journey, and standing by her every subsequent step of the way.
