“What She Did Was Way More…” – Wife Jessica Ditzel’s ‘Commitment’ Forced Joe Rogan to Tie Knots With the Mother of His Daughter in 2009

Joe Rogan, a name that many of the readers here would recognize, is known for many things. He is a polymath – UFC Commentator, TV Show Host, Podcaster at the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), and a stand-up comedian. Yet, very little about his wife and family is made known to the public. We unfurl this mystery with trails of his past admittances.

Joe met his wife, Jessica Ditzel, in 2001 when she was working as a cocktail waitress, but had worked as a model, an account executive, and a product analyst in the past. They began dating shortly after and finally ended up getting married in 2009. They have two daughters together namely, Rosy ( 14) and Lola (12). This happy family had the most implausible start, as so one would expect from the recently titled ‘man of controversy‘ by the New York Times.

Joe Rogan ‘had to‘ pop the question for one reason

Rogan and his wife have been married for 13 years. This is a prodigious accomplishment for one who claims to be against marriage. However, he explained it’s not the marriage itself but the fact that it is merely a legal agreement according to him.

So how did they decide to get married? “I had to [tie the knot]. Not really had to, but you know, she made a baby. [It’s] like ‘God alright, I’ll sign a silly legal contract.’ What she did was way more of a commitment,” he mentioned in an interview in 2009. He even repeated his loathing of marriage in 2015 when he said, “marriage is dumb, f***ing dumb.”

Joe Rogan’s key to having a successful marriage

Joe and Jessica’s relationship is no Hollywood 72-hour commitment. They have been together for the past 13 years strong.

According to Joe, the secret of their marriage is giving each other freedom. “She lets me do whatever I do. That’s how we get along well. She doesn’t f*** with me,” he said.

Just as much as he lauds her commitment to their marriage, Rogan acknowledges his financial responsibilities. Both of them engaged in a pre-nuptial agreement before getting married. When asked about it, he confided, “A prenup? Of course. I’m ridiculous and dumb, but I’m not stupid.”
