Jane Stoddard Williams Short Bio

Unfortunately, Jane Stoddard Williams hasn’t shared any information about her birthday, presumably in the early 1960s, thus we don’t know her exact age or her zodiac sign, but we do know that she is American by birth.

Stoddard is best known as the wife of Brian Williams and mother of his two children. Just like her husband, Jane is a journalist and a broadcaster. Reportedly, her net worth is estimated at over $2 million, as of mid- 2024, while her husband has a salary of $13 million and his estimated net worth is close to $40 million.

She is the daughter of Hudson Gillan Stoddard, who was a vice president of Channel 13, and Patricia Stoddard – the director of Champion International Corporation. Jane was a student of Duke University, graduating with a BA degree in political sciences. Her work includes being Panorama’s freelance producer, and the host of Bloomberg EDU, a weekly radio program that focuses on education, a subject Stoddard is very passionate about. Jane isn’t active on any social media platforms, which makes it harder for her supporters to keep in touch with her.

Relationship Status

As mentioned, Jane keeps a low-profile about some details, which includes her dating history – she hasn’t revealed the identity of any of her prior partners. She married Brian on 7 June 1986 at the First Presbyterian Church in New Canaan, Connecticut, where the couple resides today. They have two children together, a daughter named Allison and a son named Doug. Their daughter has followed their footsteps into the entertainment world, and their son is also in the field of journalism, working for New York sports channel Geico SportsNite.

Another interesting fact about their family is that Brian was named “Father of the Year” in 1996.

Husband Brian Williams Wiki

Born on 5 May 1959 under the Taurus sign, in Ridgewood, New Jersey USA, Brian Douglas Williams is best known as a journalist who works for NBC News. He’s also recognized as the chief anchor on MSNBC, and the host of “The 11th Hour with Brian Williams”. He was raised in a Roman Catholic environment, as his family is of Irish ancestry. Brian is the son on Gordon Lewis and Dorothy May Williams, and has four older siblings.

His family relocated a few times during his childhood, thus Brian attended schools in Elmira, New York and Middletown Township in New Jersey, where he matriculated from Mater Dei High School. Throughout his high school years, Brian became interested in firefighting, and volunteered for his town’s Fire Department. In addition, he served as an editorial editor for his school’s newspaper, and was invested in sports, through which he sadly suffered a nose injury, which left it crooked.

College and Career

Even though he was engaged in numerous activities in high school, his first professional job was being a busboy at Perkins Pancake House.
