Early Life

Jenaye Noah was born on October 23, 1997, in the United States. Her zodiac sign is Scorpio. She was raised across two continents, navigating a childhood shaped by the high-profile careers of both her parents and the cultural blend of French, Cameroonian, and British heritage that defined her upbringing.

Jenaye is of mixed ethnicity. Her father, Yannick Noah, was born in Sedan, France, and is biracial, with a Cameroonian father and a French mother. Her mother, Heather Stewart-Whyte, is a British model born in East Sussex, England. This layered background gives Jenaye roots spanning Central Africa, Western Europe, and the United Kingdom. Her religion has not been publicly disclosed.

Yannick Noah is one of the most celebrated figures in French sports history, having won the French Open in 1983 and reached a career-high singles ranking of world No. 3. Beyond tennis, he built a second career as a popular music performer.

Heather Stewart-Whyte, for her part, was a prominent figure on the international modelling circuit in the late 1980s and early 1990s, performing runway shows for Versace, Armani, Saint-Laurent, and Lagerfeld, and modelling for Victoria’s Secret, Gucci, Christian Dior, and Maybelline.

She also appeared on the covers of Vogue Paris in 1991 and 1992, as well as the British and Italian editions of Elle and Marie Claire. Yannick and Heather married in 1995 and divorced in 1999. Following the split, Yannick Noah was awarded custody of their daughters through adjudication in the British courts, and Jenaye grew up residing primarily with her father in France.

On her father’s side, Jenaye’s paternal grandfather, Zacharie Noah, was a former professional Cameroonian footballer who won the French Cup with Sedan in 1961, while her paternal grandmother, Marie-Claire, was a teacher and a former captain of France’s basketball team.

On her mother’s side, her maternal grandfather, Doug Stewart-Whyte, was a Conservative Party election agent, and her maternal grandmother, Hilary Stewart-Whyte, raised Heather and her sisters largely on her own following her parents’ separation.

Jenaye has four siblings. Her full sister is Elijah Noah, born in 1996, also a daughter of Yannick and Heather. From her father’s first marriage to Cécilia Rodhe, the 1978 Miss Sweden, she has two older half-siblings: Joakim Noah, born in 1985, who enjoyed a 13-year NBA career, and Yelena Noah, born in 1986, a model and jewellery creator.

From her father’s third marriage to French TV producer Isabelle Camus, she has a younger half-brother, Joalukas Noah, born in 2004. Yannick Noah also fathered a sixth child, a girl named Keelaani, born on October 22, 2024, with a partner named Malika.

Jenaye Noah’s formal education has not been publicly documented. She grew up primarily in France following her parents’ divorce before later establishing a presence in the United States, where her modelling career took shape. No confirmed details about the schools or universities she attended have been made available.

Career

Jenaye Noah officially stepped into modelling in 2017, following an entry into the industry that was as accidental as it was serendipitous. She was scouted as a model while attending a Snoop Dogg concert, a chance encounter that would redirect the course of her life entirely.

The discovery proved fortuitous almost immediately. That same year, she landed the cover of Elle magazine and the cover of Madame Figaro, both in 2017. Her Madame Figaro cover shoot, photographed in Paris in May 2017 by acclaimed lensman Jean-Baptiste Mondino, featured her in pieces from Miu Miu, Karl Lagerfeld, and OUD, an instant signal that she had arrived at the highest level of the industry.

She went on to establish herself across both the editorial and runway circuits. Jenaye models swimwear and high fashion, covering a broad commercial and artistic range. On the runway, she walked for Milly during the Fall/Winter 2018/2019 season at New York Fashion Week, appeared for Naeem Khan in the Spring/Summer 2019 collection, and closed out her confirmed New York Fashion Week credits with Staud for Spring/Summer 2020.

She is represented by Elite Model Management, with a listed standing height of 5’11½” (181 cm), and is also on the books at Storm Management in London, reflecting an international modelling presence anchored between Paris and New York.

Beyond the runway and editorial work, Jenaye has built a parallel identity as a social media personality and content creator. She makes vlogs and comedy videos on her TikTok page under the handle @justjenaye, regularly incorporating lip-syncs and special effects filters, a creative outlet that broadened her reach beyond the traditional fashion audience. Her Instagram, also under the handle @justjenaye, has grown to over 43,000 followers.

Her profile received additional mainstream visibility through her personal life, particularly her widely reported relationship with American rapper G-Eazy. The two began dating in January 2023, with Jenaye appearing alongside him at several high-profile events, drawing attention to her work from audiences outside the fashion world.

The relationship placed her name in entertainment press across multiple continents and further consolidated her standing as a recognizable public figure in her own right, separate from the considerable legacy of her family name.

Personal Life

Jenaye Noah was born on October 23, 1997, making her 28 years old. She stands at 1.81 m (5 feet 11½ inches) tall, a height that has served her well across both high-fashion editorial work and the runway.

Jenaye has never been married and has no publicly known children.

She was in a confirmed relationship with French handball player Luc Abalo. The relationship was officially acknowledged in July 2017, when Abalo confirmed in an interview with Paris Match that the two had been together for four months.

He described their connection as almost immediate, saying they quickly discovered a great deal in common, with art being one notable shared interest. At the time, Abalo was a 32-year-old professional handball player at Paris Saint-Germain, playing alongside the Karabatic brothers, while Jenaye was 19 and newly signed to Elite Paris and Storm London.

The couple made their first public appearance together during a family holiday in Palma de Majorca, joining Yannick Noah and her half-brother Joalukas on the trip. The relationship did not last, and the two eventually parted ways, with no specific timeline for the split made public.

In early 2023, Jenaye went public with American rapper G-Eazy, officially confirming the relationship through social media. The pairing attracted significant attention across the entertainment and fashion press. The two were seen together at several high-profile events throughout the year, including festivals and public appearances in New York and Europe.

However, their last known public photographs together date to 2023, and activity on Jenaye’s social media towards the end of that year led to speculation that the relationship had run its course, with some observers noting the deletion of certain shared posts. Neither party has publicly addressed the status of the relationship since.

As of the time of writing, Jenaye Noah has no confirmed husband, no record of any marriage, and no known children.

Net Worth

Jenaye Noah has an estimated net worth of $700,000. The bulk of her wealth stems from her modelling career, which has seen her work with internationally recognised fashion houses, walk major runways at New York Fashion Week, and land magazine covers in both France and the United States.

Her contracts with Elite Model Management in Paris and Storm Management in London have kept her active across two of the world’s most commercially significant fashion markets, and the steady volume of editorial and runway work those affiliations bring has been the primary engine of her earnings.

Beyond modelling, her presence as a content creator on TikTok and Instagram contributes to her income through brand visibility and influencer engagements, a revenue stream that has become increasingly standard for models operating at her level. Her relationship with high-profile figures in the entertainment industry has also expanded her public reach, indirectly enhancing her commercial appeal to brands.

For a model still in the early-to-mid stretch of her career, $700,000 reflects a solid foundation, one built more on consistent professional output than on viral moments, and likely to grow as her profile continues to develop on both sides of the Atlantic.
