Joe Montana’s Wife Is 65 Years Old and of Caucasian Ancestry
Considering the years Joe Montana spent in the NFL and his remarkable accomplishments thereof, it is inevitable that details of his family background and early life are readily available to the public.
One wouldn’t have to search hard to find that he was born to the family of Joseph Clifford Montana Sr. and Theresa Marie Montana in New Eagle, Pennsylvania. It is also no secret that he was brought up in the coal-mining town of Monongahela and that he started playing football as a kid with a nudge from his father.
All of such pieces of information are not known about his wife, Jennifer Montana. From where she was born to her family background, the kind of upbringing she had, who her parents are, and what have you, almost nothing is known about Jennifer Montana’s background and early life.
We can only confirm that she is a 65 year old citizen of the United States as she was born on the 7th of July 1958. Though she is now known as Jennifer Montana, her birth name was Jennifer Sharon Wallace.
Her husband was a student of Ringgold High School located in Carroll Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, after which he proceeded to the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, where he played college football and graduated with a degree in business administration and marketing. The same can’t be said about Jennifer Montana. She is probably college-educated but we can’t confirm anything about that at the moment.

When she eventually met him, she was glad she would be working with someone as tall as her. Within the two days the commercial was shot, Jennifer grew fond of the NFL player, partly because he was shy.
As they worked closely on set, Joe realized that he liked Jennifer and shouldn’t let his shyness get in the way of asking her out. They had dinner together the first day they met and it marked the beginning of their relationship.
About six months after they began dating, Joe was ready to take the relationship to the next phase. He proposed to Jennifer but didn’t get any answer. She wasn’t ready and had not even considered marriage.
The next time Joe proposed, he had a plane with a message that read “Jen, will you marry me” fly over them while they were out for dinner. She accepted his proposal and on the 24th of February 1985, they tied the knot.
