Jennifer Lynn Farley (born February 27, 1986), known as JWoww, is an American television personality. She became famous as one of the main cast members on the MTV reality show Jersey Shore. She also stars in its spin-off shows, Snooki & Jwoww and Jersey Shore: Family Vacation. JWoww has appeared on other TV shows too, like TNA Impact! and Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars. Since 2015, she has been in the web series Snooki & JWoww: Moms with Attitude.

Early Life and Background

Jennifer Farley was born in East Greenbush, New York. She went to Columbia High School there. Later, she studied at the New York Institute of Technology. Before becoming a TV star, she worked as a nanny, taking care of young children.

In 2019, JWoww took a DNA test to learn more about her family background. The test showed she has mostly Northwestern European roots, with some Irish and French/German heritage. It also showed she has a small amount of Italian and Iberian (Spanish) ancestry. This was a surprise to her, as she had thought she was not Italian, unlike some of her Jersey Shore co-stars.

JWoww's Career on TV

Before Jersey Shore, Jennifer Farley had her own graphic design business. In December 2009, when she was 23, JWoww started appearing on Jersey Shore. On the show, she and seven other people spent a summer living together in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. Later seasons of the show were filmed in Miami, Florida, Florence, Italy, and then back in Seaside Heights.

In 2010, JWoww launched her own clothing line called "Filthy Couture". However, she had to stop selling the line after a few months. In April 2011, MTV announced that JWoww and her Jersey Shore co-star Nicole Polizzi would get their own spin-off show.

JWoww also wrote a book in 2010 called The Rules According to JWOWW.

Snooki & JWoww

In 2012, JWoww and Nicole Polizzi began starring in their own show, Snooki & JWoww. The first season showed them moving in together in a former firehouse in Jersey City, New Jersey. The show was described as being like a modern-day Laverne & Shirley, which was a popular TV show about two friends living together.

JWoww also hosted MTV's Club New Year's Eve 2013 with Snooki. The show Snooki & JWoww was very popular and continued for several seasons.

Other Appearances

In 2015, JWoww competed on and won the seventh season of Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition. She also made her first movie appearance in an independent film called The Mint. In this movie, she played the girlfriend of a music executive.

Since late 2015, she has starred in the web series Snooki & JWoww: Moms with Attitude. In 2018, JWoww returned to the Jersey Shore family by starring in Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
