Popular American TV personality and author Philip Calvin McGraw, widely known as Dr. Phil, has two sons named Jay McGraw and Jordan McGraw with his second wife, Robin Jameson.
The boys are all grown and the talk show host has often referred to them as his greatest legacy. Having said that, we believe there is no better time to meet Dr. Phil’s sons, Jay and Jordan McGraw.
Dr. Phil Sons Have The Same Biological Mother
The legendary talk show host, Dr. Phil, has long held a reputation for being a relationship expert and helping distressed families deal with their relationship challenges, however, it is worth noting that even he did not get things right the first time.
Long before he even became well-known as Dr. Phil, the Midwestern State University graduate of Psychology married Debbie Higgins McCall in 1970 when he was only 20 years old.
The marriage was annulled in 1973 following allegations of infidelity and McGraw’s domineering attitude, however, they did not have any children. In the process of the annulment, Dr. Phil met and began dating his current wife, Robin Jo Jameson.
They tied the knot in 1976 and welcomed their first child together three years later. The couple welcomed their second son in 1986, 10 years after their wedding. Dr. Phil’s sons share the same biological mother because the children he had with Robin Jameson are the TV personality’s only two children.
Jay and Jordan McGraw’s parents have been together for more than four decades and both men certainly picked up a thing or two from the couple who gave them life. Without further ado, let’s unravel all there is to know about Dr. Phil McGraw’s sons.

Jay McGraw was born Jay Philip McGraw on September 12, 1979, under the sun sign of Virgo, in Wichita Falls County, Texas. His birth status undoubtedly makes him an American citizen and he belongs to the Caucasian ethnic group.
He is the first son of renowned American author and talk show host, Dr. Phil and his wife, Robin Jo Jameson. Jay McGraw spent his formative years in Texas and attended the famous Greenhill School from his preschool to high school.
Following his graduation from Greenhill, he proceeded to acquire a B.Sc. in Psychology from the University of Texas, Austin, and later a Juris Doctor from South Methodist University.
Jay McGraw Has Followed In His Father’s Footsteps Career-Wise
Given Dr. Phil’s accomplishments on TV, it seemed almost inevitable that one of his two sons would walk the same career path as he did. With a degree in psychology, that mantle seems to have fallen on his first son, Jay McGraw.
Jay is an author, who has written several books, including Life Strategies For Teens (2000) and Daily Life Strategies For Teens (2001), which are designed to help young people, particularly teenagers, to become better versions of themselves as they navigate life’s challenges.
Beyond his responsibilities as an author, Jay McGraw is primarily the president and CEO of Stage 29 Productions. The production company based in Los Angeles, California was one he co-founded with his dad, Dr. Phil.
Jay McGraw has had a hand in producing most of his dad’s shows and he has also worked with a good number of TV productions, including but not limited to Decision House, Face The Truth and Bull, and Doctors, a show which earned him an Emmy Award.
He Is Happily Married
The talented TV producer and author started his own family in 2006 when he exchanged marital vows with former Playboy Magazine model, Erica Dahm. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Avery Elizabeth McGraw, on March 18, 2010, around four years after their wedding.
Just over a year later, precisely on August 31, 2011, the couple welcomed their second child and son, London Philip McGraw. The family of four makes their home in Los Angeles, California.
Meet the Youngest of Dr. Phil Sons, Jordan McGraw
Summary of Jordan McGraw’s Bio
- Date of Birth: October 21, 1986
- Age: 37 years old
- Mother: Robin Jo Jameson
- Occupation: Singer, Songwriter
Jordan McGraw Was Born Almost 7 Years After Jay
Jordan McGraw is the younger of Dr. Phil’s two sons with his wife, Robin. He was born Jordan Stevens McGraw on October 21, 1986, just over 7 years after the birth of his older brother, Jay. Like his brother, Jordan McGraw was also born in Wichita Falls County, Texas albeit under the birth sign of Libra as opposed to his brother’s birth sign of Virgo.
To a very large degree, Dr. Phil’s sons had a very similar upbringing although Jordan attended Elite School before switching to Greenhill School to conclude the early stages of his formal education. Afterward, and just like Jay, he proceeded to the University of Texas, Austin to bag a degree in psychology. Afterward, he stayed back to earn a doctorate in clinical psychology.
Jordan McGraw Is An Accomplished Musician
Following his graduation from the higher institution, one could be forgiven for assuming that Jordan McGraw would seamlessly follow the same career path as his brother and father, after all, his degree in psychology and doctorate in clinical psychology pointed in that direction.
However, the younger McGraw’s passion and love for music were greater than the safer bet of joining the family business. This passion had been nurtured since he was 15 and he was not about to let it go to waste. Thankfully, he had the love and support of his father and the rest of the family.
That love and support have propelled the singer to great achievements and after being a part of several band productions, he eventually released his first solo tune titled Flexible in 2019. Since then, he has worked hard to release other musical productions, including a 3-song, self-titled EP in 2019, and the singles Her and She in April 2021 and July 2022 respectively.
Jordan McGraw’s musical success has attracted tour collaborations with several other popular acts, not the least of which is the Jonas Brothers. Jordan McGraw’s estimated $20 million net worth is a good metric to measure how successful he has been in the music industry.
He Is Married To Morgan Stewart
Dr. Phil’s second son Jordan McGraw and the E! News host/anchor, Morgan Stewart, have been a married couple since December 9, 2020. She was pregnant at the time of their wedding and on February 16, 2021, around 2 months after their wedding, the couple welcomed their first child and daughter, Row Rengli McGraw.
Not long after, the couple announced that they were expecting a second through Jordan’s Instagram page, and on February 17, 2022, just a day over one year after they had their first child, Jordan McGraw and his wife welcomed a son named Grey Oliver McGraw.
The musician and his family live together in Los Angeles, California, in a Beverly Hills mansion he reportedly paid $10 million to acquire in July 2020.
Jay And Jordan McGraw Have A Good Relationship With Their Father
Dr. Phil is a proud father who has loved every bit of grooming his sons into the men they are today. His input in their lives is immeasurable. It is a sentiment that both sons completely agree with and has been echoed by Jay, who says he knows where to go when he needs answers to difficult life questions.
Jordan, on the other hand, has revealed the fact that he would not be where he is today without the love, support, and guidance he has received from his father over the years.
