Josh Radnor, best known for his role as Ted in the beloved series “How I Met Your Mother,” has found his real-life partner in wife Jordana Jacobs. Their love story took a unique turn at a meditation retreat in February 2022, where both experienced a powerful connection fueled by psychedelics. During this transformative experience, Radnor heard a voice guiding him to Jacobs, while she felt a similar cosmic pull, further solidifying their bond.
In 2023, Radnor proposed to Jacobs with another meditation session, and she joyfully accepted. The couple has maintained a relatively private life, apart from announcing their wedding date in January 2024. They wed just two weeks prior, in a magical ceremony set against the snowy backdrop of Cedar Lakes Estate in New York, which Radnor described as an “incredible overwhelming snowy bliss-filled weekend.”
Their journey continued in 2026, when Radnor surprised fans with the news of their first child—a son born a few months earlier. While details about their baby’s name were withheld, Radnor shared heartwarming insights into their new roles as parents, expressing joy in the small moments that come with parenthood, such as their son’s endearing reactions to music and laughter over the word “baba ghanoush.”
Jacobs, a clinical psychologist with a passion for public speaking, has dedicated her career to helping others navigate the complexities of relationships and mortality. With an impressive educational background that includes a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, she also leads retreats and engages in podcasts to address topics surrounding love and awareness of death.
Radnor’s relationship with Jacobs not only reflects a fairytale romance but also a profound partnership grounded in shared values and aspirations. The couple’s journey emphasizes the beauty of love and connection, marked by individualized paths yet converging in heartwarming union. Their story serves as a testament to finding love in unexpected places and building a life filled with joy and significance.
