Short Info

FactWas Playboy Playmate of the Month for the March 2005 issue, the same issue featuring Deborah Gibson's nude layout.

Jillian Grace is a Playboy model, the Playmate of March 2005, who is also famous for being the mother of actor David Spade’s daughter. The couple only dated for a couple of months, but it didn’t prevent them from having a baby who they welcomed in 2008.

Early life and family

Jillian Grace was born on 20 December 1985, in Conway, Arkansas USA – her zodiac sign is Sagittarius, and she holds American nationality. Her mother, Katherine Walter, divorced her husband, Jillian’s father, when Jillian was only a couple of years old. Katherine took her daughter to Washington, Missouri, where Jillian spent her childhood, being raised by her single mother. She matriculated from the local high school in 2004.

Career

Modelling career

Jillian has always been supported by her mother, Katherine. The woman believed in her daughter’s talentsm and sent her photos to Howard Stern, the famous radio jockey, as he held a contest for young women to become the co-host of his radio show. Jillian got a call from Howard’s team, and was invited onto the show on a testing episode. Occasionally, Kevin Kustler, the Senior Photo editor of Playboy Magazine, was also in the studio, and noticed the makings of a model in Jillian. He also invited her for a test photo shoot, which turned out to be a success; again, Jillian’s mother supported her daughter when she decided to accept the job offer from Playboy.

She soon became the Playmate of the Month, in March 2005, as well as appearing in various Playboy calendars, along with other Playmates of the Months, including Courtney Rachel Culkin, Amanda Paige and Amber Campisi. She was also Miss January in Playboy’s 2006 calendar.

Acting career

As soon as Jillian featured as the Playmate of the Month, she started to appear in various TV shows and even movies, enjoying her new role of an actress. Initially, during 2005 she featured in five episodes of the “Howard Stern” TV talk show, and later that year was in several episodes of the TV reality show entitled “The Girls Next Door”. In 2007 she made a cameo appearance in “Hot Babes Doing Stuff Naked”, a popular TV show launched on MTV and Playboy TV.

Jillian Grace and David Spade with their daughter

She landed the role of a pirate wench in “Epic Movie” (2007), and played the girl who looked almost like Maria Sharapova, the legendary Russian tennis player, in the movie entitled “The Comebacks” (2007). She landed another episodic role in the movie entitled “The Antagonist” in 2007, and then had her latest role in “The House Bunny”, playing one of the Playmates, sharing the screen with Anna Farris, Kat Dennings and Emma Stone.

She quit her acting career when she became pregnant, deciding to focus on motherhood – it was quite difficult acting as a Playmate with her growing baby bump.

Personal life, ex-boyfriend David Spade

Jillian met David Spade in 2007, and the couple dated for about two months, but during this short period of time Jillian became pregnant. On 26 August 2008 she gave birth to her daughter Harper, and David was officially confirmed as the father of the child. Jillian later moved to St. Louis, Missouri, with her daughter, but David often sees Harper, spending quality time with her, walking around New York. Paparazzi often caught him walking, playing or shopping with Harper, and they looked quite happy spending time together.

Prior to David, Jillian dated David the Mechanic who is a YouTuber, Pauly Shore – a popular American actor, best known for his appearances in “Star vs. the Forces of Evil”, “Hawaii Five-0” and the “Entourage” series – and another popular American actor, David Gallagher,  who starred in the “7th Heaven” series, “Smallville” and “Criminal Minds”.
