Jay and Sharon tied the knot in April 1967 in a large ceremony at the University of Chicago’s Rockefeller Chapel. Sharon was just 22 when she married Jay, but the young bride understood the political world she was entering.

Sharon’s dad, Charles H. Percy, was a senator from Illinois for 18 years. At the reception, a crowd of almost 1,500 teenagers stood outside in the rain to cheer on the French entertainer Maurice Chevalier, who performed, per a New York Times report of the wedding.

While Jay was governor of West Virginia, Sharon helped to promote the Public Broadcasting Service. She went on to serve as the president of the WETA, the flagship public media station, and was a member of the board of directors of PBS for 19 years.

Outside of their work, Jay and Sharon were dedicated parents. The two had four children who you can learn about below.

Born in 1969, John Davison “Jamie” Rockefeller V has lived a private life. He married socialite Emily Rockefeller, the daughter of former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue, in 1996. The couple went on to have two daughters, Laura and Sophia, and a son, John. After John was born, Jay and Sharon released a statement: “This is such an exciting time for our family, and we’re thrilled to have another grandchild and our very first grandson. We feel very fortunate to be celebrating the birth of another healthy grandchild and are grateful for all of the support and best wishes we’ve received.”

Two years after they welcomed Jamie, Sharon and Jay had Valerie. She followed in her dad’s footsteps and works as an environmentalist and philanthropist. In 2000, Valerie wed another ancestor of a tycoon, James Douglas Carnegie. But, the couple divorced two years later.

In 2004, Valerie married Steven William Wayne. The couple went on to have three children – Percy, Lucy, and Davis.

Sharon and Jay welcomed their third child, son Charles P. Rockefeller in 1973. He has gone on to become an entrepreneur in health and a trustee of Historic Hudson Valley, Asia Society and member of the president’s council of the University of Tokyo.

In 2016, Charles founded CuraPatient, “an AI-powered platform which can significantly reduce the level of chaos which currently pervades our medical payment system,” per his LinkedIn.

Jay and Sharon’s youngest child, Justin Aldrich Rockefeller, was born in 1979. He is an investor who works with the Rockefeller family offices to measure social impact. In 2006, Justin married Indrė Vengris, a fashion executive who was once the Editor-in-Chief at Vogue. The couple has two daughters who they raise in New York City.
