How Old is Thomas Jakes Jr?
Thomas Jakes Jr.‘s current age is 39 as the celebrity kid’s date of birth reads August 14, 1994. Born in Texas in the United States, Thomas Dexter Jakes Jr., as his given name says, is a citizen of America, but his ethnicity is obviously African-American.
The Young Afro-American spent his formative years in Texas, where he also accomplished his academic journey. Though the particular academic institutions he favored are not known, there is a throwback tweet with his father that proves he went to college in Chicago.
Who is Thomas Jake’s Dad?
Bishop Thomas Dexter Jakes Sr., aka T.D. Jakes is a father of five children, including Thomas Jakes. In fact, the young man was actually named after the popular bishop, as the two resemble each other a great deal.
The Afro-American bishop was born Thomas Dexter Jakes on the 9th of June 1957 in South Charleston, West Virgin. The son of Ernest and Odith Jakes spent his growing-up years in Vandalia, West Virginia.
TD Jakes is a man of many hats; he is a preacher, author, movie maker, actor, and businessman. As an actor, he can boast seven onscreen appearances on the sets of Jumping the Broom, Not Easily Broken, Refreshing Times Conference, and others.
In his movie production career, Thomas Jakes’s dad takes the credit for producing 17 projects.
He is an author with several books under his belt. The bishop’s best-known publications include such books as Woman Thou Art Loosed, Not Easily Broken, The Crushing Is Not the End Study, Anointing Fall on Me, and many more.
The Texas-based non-denominational megachurch known as The Potter’s House has him as its founder, and he is associated with the Greater Emanuel Temple of Faith (this is a church facade shop).
With several books to his name, it was wise for the bishop to launch his own publishing house. For a while now, the publishing company TDJ Enterprises has been responsible for publishing all his publications, including the production of his movies.
Thomas Jake’s Mother is Serita Jakes
Serita Jakes is the mother of Thomas Jakes, and she is listed as a motivational speaker, visionary, actress, author, and more. The mother of two has appeared in a handful of productions and has written a few books, The Princess Within: Restoring the Soul of a Woman inclusive.
The Bishop and Serita were already married for 13 years before they welcomed Thomas into the family. The couple’s union has exceeded 40 years and still waxing strong.
Thomas’ Relationship with His Parents
As the baby of the family, it goes without saying that Thomas is the apple of his parent’s eyes. The youngster is very close to both Serita and the bishop, but his connection with his look-alike dad is always on display.
Thomas once tweeted his photo, which elicited feedback from his dad. In his reaction, the bishop tweeted, “That’s my boy!!” “Almost as much swag as the ole man! LOL,” and in his response, Thomas said, “My dad think he cool lol.”
Thomas Jakes Shared Childhood Memories with Four Siblings
Obviously not the only child born to his parents, Thomas Jakes grew up alongside four siblings – two brothers and two sisters – all older than him.
Jamar Jakes is the Oldest of the Jakes Brood
The 45-year-old Jamar Jakes is Thomas’ oldest brother. Jamar works with their dad in both The Potter’s House in his capacity as a manager and as a business engineer/ developer at TDJ Enterprises.
Jermaine Jakes Came a Year After Jamar
Jermaine Jakes is the bishop’s second son, born one year after Jamar on January 4th, 1980. From what is perceivable, Jermaine seems to be the black sheep of the Jakes’ brood as he once engaged in obscene activities in front of undercover vice cops; this was a dent in the Jakes’ name as the story went viral in no time.
Cora Jakes is Thomas’ Oldest Sister
Cora is the wife of Richard Brandon Coleman, with whom she shares two kids
Sarah Jakes is Bishop T. D. Jakes’ Last Daughter
Born on July 17th, Sarah Jakes is Thomas Jakes’ immediate older sister. Among the Jakes’ children, she appears to be the most popular, working as a motivational speaker, best-selling author, businesswoman, and media personality.
Sarah’s book, Lost and Found: Finding Hope in the Detours, is a favorite among her fans, and she has also created a niche for herself on TV appearing in such programs as The Associated Press, including the popular Christian show, The 700 Club.
What Does Thomas Jakes Jr. Do For a Living?
Thomas Jakes is one son of the popular bishop that has a penchant for keeping his private life under lock and key. As a result, very little is known about his professional life. However, he is simply listed as a media personality, though his work engagements are not known.
Thomas is also said to be a music producer with original work released via his ImJustDex SoundCloud account. The last child of the popular bishop is also into social media with an account on Twitter which he joined in 2009. So far, he has 7,720 followers with 7174 tweets.
With all these said, we must acknowledge that Thomas Jakes only emerged into the limelight as a celebrity kid. Thus, he was never a mainstream celeb.
Thomas is Married to Larissa Piao
Unlike his big brother Jamar, Thomas Jakes is visibly married. He wedded his spouse, Larissa Piao, at the Dallas, Texas-based church, The Porter’s House. The couple exchanged marriage vows three days before the onset of the lockdown orchestrated by the COVID-19 pandemic in America.
Their wedding was a fancy affair with Thomas’s dad as the officiating priest. Currently, the couple is enjoying marital bliss in their home in Dallas. Though their union has lasted for a couple of years, there is no sign of any offspring yet.
