Does Will Trent actor Jake McLaughlin have a wife? How many kids do they have?

What is his off-screen life like?

McLaughlin was born in 1982. Both of his parents are of Irish descent. Through his mother, he also has Cheyenne heritage.
In 2002, he joined the United States Army. His history as an Iraq War veteran would later motivate him to audition for In The Valley of Elah, and he landed the role.

Which ‘Will Trent’ character does Jake McLaughlin portray?
Michael Ormewood is the fictional partner of Erika Chirstensen’s Will Trent character, Angie Polaski.
Jake McLaughlin portrays Ormewood as an aggressive contrast to Trent’s thoughtful, methodical vibes.
As a result, the characters frequently clash. A sometimes antagonist to the lead is not an easy role for an actor to assume, but McLaughlin makes it work.
Is Jake McLaughlin married? Does he have any children?
In 2004, McLaughlin married his wife, Stephanie. Will Trent Season 2 premiered the same year as the couple’s 20-year anniversary.
Together, the two have four children. Three daughters: Rowan, Reagan, and Freya. And one son, Logan.
The McLaughlins are clearly excellent at naming kids. And, in February of 2024, he revealed that they weren’t done yet.
Jake McLaughlin shared that he was expecting Baby #5!
At age 41, McLaughlin shared the happy news in February of 2024 while promoting the then-upcoming second season of Will Trent.
“I guess I could announce it now that we’re…I have a son coming in a few more weeks, so yeah,” he shared in early February.
“That’ll be number five for all of you that are like, shaking your head at me for having five kids,” McLaughlin added. “But we’re really happy and excited.”

Will Jake McLaughlin return for ‘Will Trent’ Season 3?
As of the start of spring in 2024, ABC has not officially announced the renewal of Will Trent for a third season.
However, given the popularity of the show, there are widespread expectations in a third season.
If (or when) the network announces the Season 3 renewal, industry insiders and fans alike expect the cast to remain largely the same. That would include Jake McLaughlin’s return.
