Jim Harbaugh has seven children. They are Jay Harbaugh, James Harbaugh, Grace Harbaugh, Addison Harbaugh, Katherine Harbaugh, Jack Harbaugh, and John Harbaugh. The American football coach shares the first three of his seven children with his first wife Miah Harbaugh and the subsequent four with his current wife Sarah Feuerborn Harbaugh.
Harbough is the head coach of the University of Michigan Wolverines and he has been married twice. His first marriage was to Miah Harbaugh and it lasted ten years from 1996 to 2006 while his second marriage which is to Sarah Feuerborn Harbaugh, happened in 2008. The couple are still together to date.
There is a huge and interesting divide in the ages of Jim Harbough’s children due to the timing of his marriages. The first three from his first marriage are very much older than the younger four from his second marriage. As a result, there is a wealth of information on the older children who are adults and have built their own lives unlike the younger four who are still being shielded from the limelight. The above notwithstanding, Jim Harbough’s adult children are currently thriving in the different career paths they have each chosen and are very successful in their own rights.

Jay Harbaugh as earlier stated is the first amongst Jim Harbough’s children. He was born on June 14, 1989, to Jim and his first wife Miah Harbaugh in San Diego, California. Going by his birth date, it is easy to see that he was born nearly seven years before his parents exchanged marital vows. Apparently, Jim and his first wife were in a long-term relationship that led to the birth of Jay and their eventual marriage,
On the aspect of his educational background and qualification, Jay Harbaugh had his elementary education in his hometown of San Diego. He attended St Augustine High School where he played defensive line having followed in his father’s footsteps. From his excellent play in high school, Jay was well on the path to having a good career run as a football player.
The young star would have gone on to achieve his dreams of being a footballer, but it was cut short by a knee injury he sustained towards the end of his playing days in high school. One can’t help but wonder if he would have been like his father or better if he was able to go further in his football career. He got enrolled at Oregon State University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Sociology.
Despite the injuries that cut short his dreams of being a player, Jay Harbough stayed on the football path and eventually became a coach just like his father. According to sources, he is currently an American football coach and has worked with several teams with good records. He first worked as an undergraduate assistant at Oregon State for four seasons before joining his uncle, John Harbaugh, at the Ravens for three seasons. He was the tight ends coach and assistant special teams coach for the Michigan football team in 2015. He is still a member of the team.

Jim Harbaugh Does Not Have Twin Children
Coach Jim Harbaugh does not have any twin children born to him from any of his marriages. There have been several rumors that Jim has twins but that is not the case as the prominent coach has seven children and each of his children was all born independently by their mothers in different years and none came as twins.
The rumor about Jim having twin children is a spillover from the rumor that he is a twin himself. For years, many fans of the coach have assumed that he is a twin with his brother John Harbough. However, he has debunked said rumor a few times often explaining that John is his older brother rather than his twin. Even though there is just a year’s age difference between them, John and Jom Harbough are not twins.
His children who many often mistake for twins are Jack and John. But unlike the situation with his brother, Jack and John have a 5 years age difference hence there is no mistake that they are not twins. While they also have a resemblance as any siblings would they are neither the same size nor do they have the same facial features. While Jack is 7 years old, John is 7 years old.
