Kimmi Chex’s Husband and Children

In 2020, Kimmi Chex had moved from New York to Los Angeles when her best friend proclaimed he had found the man who would be the NFL personality’s future husband. Content in the early pandemic lull, Chex was not keen on dressing up and pursuing a romance. But after looking up Jason White online (the one who got her best friend’s seal of approval), she was intrigued.

Jason White was running an online mentorship program for POC entrepreneurs at the start of the pandemic. And that’s where Chex’s friend saw him. The Connecticut native graduated from Georgetown. He most recently served as the CMO of MTV Entertainment.

Chex connected with White (20 years her senior) online. They initially communicated on Zoom and eventually through calls and texts.

In July 2020, White proposed to Chex. They tied the knot on December 31, 2021, in a low-key ceremony with 130 vaccinated guests in attendance.
