J. Brandon Rodriguez: Meet Michael Michele’s Son With Jimmy

J. Brandon Rodriguez (born December 21, 2004) is the son of Michael Michele Williams, the popular actress and fashion designer, and Jimmy Rodriguez, the Puerto Rican-born restauranteur and culinary expert.  J. Brandon Rodriguez is an 19-year-old American celebrity kid who keeps a low profile. Nevertheless, fans can get an insight into his life from his mom’s social media accounts. 

How Old is J Brandon Rodriguez Now?

J Brandon Rodriguez is currently 19 years old. He was born on December 21, 2004, in New York City, the United States, to his parents, Michael Michele Williams and Jimmy Rodriguez.

Brandon’s mother, Michelle Williams, is an American actress and television personality. At the same time, his father, Jimmy, is a Puerto Rican chef who migrated to America in the early years of his life. This means that Brandon has a mixed ethnicity from both his parents. Although he is the only child his parents have together, he has two stepsisters, Jewel and Jaleene, his father’s daughters from his previous marriage.

Although Brandon is the son of two very wealthy celebrities, much of his personal life and details have been protected from the public. His parents have chosen to retain personal information like the schools he has attended and also not to open any social media accounts for him, as is the norm for most celebrity parents.

Who Are J Brandon’s Parents?

J Brandon Rodriguez is the son of Michael Michele Williams and her ex-lover, Jimmy Rodriguez. Michael Michele Williams is a popular American actress and television personality popularly known for her roles in movies like Gossip Girl, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Minutes, and The Hunt for the BTK Killer.

On the other hand, Jimmy Rodriguez is a Puerto Rican native who migrated to America. He is best known as a restaurateur and cuisine expert with a chain of restaurants like Jimmy’s Downtown, Jimmy’s City Island, and Jimmy’s Bronx Café to his name.

Although J Brandon is the only child that the couple has together, Jimmy Rodriguez has two other children from his marriage to his ex-wife, Elaine Rodriguez. The names of his daughters are Jaleene Rodriguez and Jewel Rodriguez.

Are J Brandon’s Parents Still Together?

J Brandon’s parents are no longer together. Although the celebrity parents were once the Hollywood ideal couple, they were unable to keep the love and romance steady in their relationship and had to go their separate ways shortly after their son was born.

Michael Michele and Jimmy Rodriguez started dating in 2003. A year into their relationship, they welcomed their son, J Brandon, on December 21, 2004. Sadly unlike is the case with most relationships, the birth of their son did not help strengthen their bond, and they had to call it quits a year later in 2005. After the couple broke up, their son Brandon who was a year old at the time, moved in with his mother.

Although the couple did not reveal the reason for their break-up, Jimmy has a history of being violent in relationships, as was seen in the case of his marriage to his ex-wife, Elaine. Even after ending their relationship, the couple has remained friends over the years and have been spotted together at different events.

Following the end of his parent’s relationship, J Brandon had to move in with his mom in New York City, where he spent the bulk of his childhood. The mother and son have a close relationship which is evidenced in the various cute pictures Michael Michele shares of them on her Instagram handle.

When she had her son, Michael Michele described the experience as the best thing to ever happen to her and has since then dedicated all her effort towards grooming her son into the young gentleman he is currently. And from the picture of him constantly seen on her Instagram page, it is very obvious that she is one super proud single mum.

What Does J Brandon Do for a Living?

At his current age, J Brandon is yet to choose a career path. Therefore, he relies on both of his parents for all of his financial needs. However, seeing how successful his parents are in their chosen careers and knowing that it is not uncommon for celebrity kids to take after their parent’s professions, it will not be surprising to see Brandon pursuing an acting career.

Though J Brandon does not have a verified net worth, the celebrity kid is living in luxury, all thanks to his parent’s successful careers. His mother, Jimmy Rodriguez, who is a popular television personality and actress, has an estimated net worth of $1.7 million. In contrast, his father, Michael Michele Williams, has a net worth of $4 million.
