Jason Gedrick, whose date of birth is February 7, 1965, was born Jason Michael Gedroic at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. His parents, whose names are not available, are of Polish descent.

However, Jason finally settled down with Dana Lavas in 1989. Their relationship was on everyone’s lips in the industry as their love for each other was so passionate that you could feel it. But as passionate as they were for each other, their marriage could only last eight years before they hit the iceberg. They divorced in 1997, but no one said exactly what went wrong. Jason and Dana had three children together, all boys. The boys were named Garrett, Ty, and Jian. Since his divorce from his wife, it is not known that he was with another girlfriend, partner, or even wife. He divides his time between work and his boys as he tries to ensure that they do not experience his absence as a product of divorced parents, as he himself felt in his early life.
