(DeGeneres and de Rossi, who have long been active in real estate investing, had paid $18.6 million for the mansion in 2017.)"

Hardworking, "Christian" & a member of the "Church of Oprah-BreneBrown" Montecito Mom & Wife

2 beautiful children (Wonder & Wilder ) via an east coast surrogate

Jamie's back story:

"I found out I was adopted by surprise in my late twenties, I went on this five-year journey of trying to find my birth mom. And I had very little info on the paperwork, and I didn’t even know if it was actually factual or not. But I called thousands and thousands of women over a five-year period and I would just get hung up on because everyone kind of thought it was a telemarketer. I had a really mixed, blended family growing up.

And eventually, I worked a lot of jobs, worked pushing grocery carts in the Safeway parking lot, and waitressed at Denny’s, all kinds of stuff to pay my way through school. Eventually, I was the first person in my family to go to school and got a job in journalism. I was working in what I thought was my dream job anchoring the news. I was moving up markets. 

On my honeymoon flight to South Africa, my husband and I wrote the business plan for IT Cosmetics. We got back, quit our jobs, and went all in. We had very little money, very little savings, but we poured it all into making our first product."

"I’ll never forget when in my 30s I met my birth mom and her family for the first time. I was a little worried how it would go but my mom Nina welcomed them into our lives with open arms saying to them “the more people who love Jamie the better.”

2018 & 2020: Paulo and I been going through a very private and difficult journey filled with multiple miscarriages. The moments of hugging each other sobbing were excruciating. If you or someone you love has gone through this, you can understand how painful it can be. So when we learned, that in partnership with our surrogate (the same real life angel who brought our daughter Wonder into the world) that we’re pregnant we were so overjoyed but also so scared.

FYI: I've never watched an episode of Big Brother. Both Jamie & MMarkle held briefcases. Jamie survived the very 1st season in the Big Brother House. Here's a 60 sec clip of Jamie's intro:

Des Moines beauty queen banished from `Big Brother' Sep 28, 2000 Mark Rahner Seattle Times

This was one pageant Seattle-area beauty queen Jamie Kern didn't win. Kern, the image-obsessed 23-year-old Miss Washington USA from Des Moines, was the final contestant to be "banished" from TV's "Big Brother" household last night. Characterizing Kern's stay in the camera-riddled house as relatively uninvolved, the show's official Web site said of her, "She stayed completely focused on one thing and one thing only: her image."

Kern lost a phone-in viewer poll to three male finalists known on the show only by their first names: Curtis, Eddie and Josh. Kern is the last of the 10 original house guests to be excised with no prize money. One will leave during tomorrow night's finale with the $500,000 grand prize. That choice, too, will be made by a phone poll.

Kern's instincts as a beauty-pageant contestant apparently kicked in when the news was announced last night on live TV. She registered no emotion as she congratulated the other three. CBS' "Big Brother" is one of a spate of recent "reality shows" in which a group of average people is gradually pared down to one big cash winner. "Big Brother's" contestants live in a house completely wired with video cameras, allowing no privacy and no interaction with the outside, save for occasional banners flown by pranksters overhead. Kern's family flew to Los Angeles to be at the "Big Brother" set when the banishment results were announced on live television.

"We're going to give her a big hug," her stepfather, Dennis Kern, said before departing. She was just being herself on the show, said her mother, Nina Kern. "She's not trying to put on any kind of an act or anything like that. She's a thinker. She thinks before she speaks most of the time. . . . Some people have said she's too quiet, but that's the way she is." Nina Kern said she doesn't know what her daughter's post-show plans are. An acceptance to Yale University for an MBA program has expired, but not one to Columbia. And she will promote her Miss Washington USA title, her mother said. But pageant official David Nold fumed, "Jamie has had less involvement as Miss Washington USA than any titlist I've ever known. Jamie focuses on promoting only Jamie, not Washington, not the pageant, only Jamie."

Nold is vice president and general legal counsel for Northwest Pageants, which runs the Miss Washington and Miss Oregon USA pageants. Angered when Kern's talent representatives issued a statement last week claiming she represented the state well on the CBS show, Nold said, "She hasn't done anything to represent Washington state." Dennis Kern responded that the family had had a "very, very uncomfortable association" with the pageant, and claimed that it was, in fact, Nold who wouldn't return his stepdaughter's calls. Nina Kern called "Big Brother" a once-in-a-lifetime chance for her daughter. But hearing the assorted slams on her - including less-than-flattering remarks from the show's analyst, Dr. Drew Pinsky - was never easy.
