Early Life & Education

Jeremy Allen White was born on February 17, 1991, in Brooklyn, New York, where he grew up in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood. As a child, he was deeply involved in performing arts, starting with dance lessons in ballet, jazz, and tap throughout elementary school.

At age 13, upon entering a middle school dance program, he shifted his focus to acting, which marked the beginning of his professional pursuit in the field. White is of mixed European ancestry, including Ukrainian (through his paternal grandmother), English, German, Scottish, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, and distant Dutch descent.

Some sources also note possible distant Melungeon heritage, which typically involves a blend of European, African, and Native American roots. Multiple reports confirm he is not Jewish, despite occasional speculation due to his roles or appearance.

His parents are Eloise Zeigler and Richard White, both former actors who met in New York City when his father attended a play featuring his mother. Eloise is originally from North Carolina, and their acting backgrounds inspired White’s early interest in the performing arts. He has one younger sister named Annabelle White.

He attended the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, a specialized institution that supported his transition into acting. White did not pursue higher education, opting instead to focus on his acting career after high school.

Career

Jeremy Allen White launched his acting career in 2006 with the film Beautiful Ohio, followed by roles in television series such as Conviction and Law & Order.

His breakthrough arrived in 2011 when, at just 20 years old, he was cast as Phillip “Lip” Gallagher in Showtime’s Shameless. Over 11 seasons, he brought depth and grit to the role of the brilliant yet troubled eldest Gallagher sibling, a performance that cemented his reputation as a rising star.

In 2022, White reached new heights of acclaim as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto in FX’s The Bear, a fast-paced dramedy about a chef navigating the chaos of running his family’s Chicago restaurant.

His raw and layered portrayal earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Series (Musical or Comedy) in 2023, back-to-back Primetime Emmy Awards in 2023 and 2024, and multiple additional honors. The show’s critical success, including a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating, solidified his place as one of television’s most compelling leads.

Beyond television, White has demonstrated his range with film roles in Afterschool (2008), The Rental (2020), and Fingernails (2023). His transformation into wrestler Kerry Von Erich in The Iron Claw (2023) highlighted his dedication to both physical and emotional authenticity, earning him further praise.

He continues to expand his repertoire with projects like Deliver Me from Nowhere (2026), where he portrays Bruce Springsteen, and the upcoming fourth season of The Bear, set for 2025. Known for his intensity, vulnerability, and physical expressiveness rooted in his dance background, Jeremy Allen White has established himself as one of the most versatile and compelling actors of his generation.

Jeremy Allen White, born on February 17, 1991, is 34 years old.

He stands at 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) tall.

White was married once, to actress Addison Timlin, whom he met at age 14 in high school; their friendship turned romantic around 2013, leading to their wedding on October 18, 2019, at the Beverly Hills courthouse.

Timlin filed for divorce in May 2023, citing irreconcilable differences, and the couple finalized joint physical and legal custody of their children in October 2023, with stipulations including White’s sobriety testing during visitation.

They share two daughters: Ezer Billie White, born on October 20, 2018, and Dolores Wild White, born on December 12, 2020, both of whom have actress Dakota Johnson as their godmother.

White‘s dating history includes a relationship with his Shameless co-star Emma Greenwell from around 2011 to 2016, during which they kept things low-key and out of the public eye.

Following his split from Timlin, he was briefly linked to model Ashley Moore in August 2023 after they were spotted kissing in Los Angeles, though sources described it as casual and unlabeled.

By October 2023, White began dating Spanish singer Rosalía, with the pair frequently seen together on outings and displaying affection until their breakup around September 2024.

Shortly after, in September 2024, he was photographed kissing his The Bear co-star Molly Gordon during a casual outing in Los Angeles; they have since been spotted on dates in New York City, appearing affectionate and continuing to spend time together as of mid-2025 reports.

White generally keeps his personal life private, focusing publicly on his career and co-parenting.
