Talking about their split and how he didn’t get to see his father after the split, Joe Rogan said, “All I remember of my dad are these brief, violent flashes of domestic violence … But I don’t want to complain about my childhood. Nothing bad ever really happened to me … I don’t hate the guy.” 

When he was seven years old, his family moved to San Francisco, California. When he was 11, his family left for Gainesville, Florida. They lived on the outskirts of Boston in Newton Upper Falls, Massachusetts. He was sent to Newton South High School, and in 1985, he completed his schooling.

As a teenager, he took great interest in Baseball and Martial arts. He even participated in Little League Baseball. Talking about his interest in sports, he said, “It gave me not just confidence, but also a different perspective of myself and what I was capable of. I knew that I could do something I was terrified of, and that was difficult, and that I could excel at it. It was a big deal for me”.

Personal life:

In 2009, Joe Rogan tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend Jessica Ditzel who had been a cocktail waitress by profession. Talking about his marriage to Jessica, Joe asserted, “I had to! Not really had to, but you know, she made a baby. (It’s) like, ‘God, all right, I’ll sign a silly legal contract.’ What she did was way more of a commitment.”

 In 2008 and then in 2010, they became parents to two daughters. Jessica Ditzel also had a daughter from her previous relationship. Her daughter was adopted by Joe Rogan after their marriage. The family of five initially resided in Boulder, Colorado, after which they moved to Bell Canyon, California. In 2020, the family shifted to their residence worth $14 million in Lake Austin, Texas. Before moving to Texas, Joe had expressed his desire to move to Texas with his family, on his podcast. He said, “I just want to go somewhere in the center of the country.

Human beings still have the same genes they had 10,000 years ago. Our bodies are designed to have a certain amount of physical stress and violence in them. We’re designed to run from jaguars and fight to defend our territory.”
