Who is Stevanna Jackson?

Stevanna was born in Los Angeles, California, USA on 17 June 1990 – her zodiac sign is Gemini, and she holds American nationality. She’s an actress with just three credits to her name, while she’s probably known best for being the daughter of American singer-songwriter and dancer Randy Jackson.

Stevanna is also known for resembling Janet Jackson, a famous American singer-songwriter, dancer and actress.

Early life and education

Stevanna was raised in California as an only child, by her father and her mother Eliza Shaffy, a non-celebrity American woman who focused on being a housewife and raising Stevanna, rather than on pursuing a career; Stevanna has two paternal half-siblings, Genevieve Jackson and Steven Randall Jackson Jr., whose mother is Alejandra Oaziaza.

She grew up being interested in two things: dancing and acting. Stevanna became interested in acting at the age of six, after having begun watching movies and TV series with her parents on a daily basis. She was nine when she started taking dancing lesson, and was a member of her elementary school’s drama club, appearing in numerous plays during her six years there, as well as during the two years she attended middle school.

She was physically highly active while attending a local high school in Los Angeles, as she played soccer and volleyball, and also enjoyed running track.

Upon matriculating in 2008, Stevanna enrolled at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from which she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 2012.

Career as an actress

Stevanna launched her career in 2003, when she portrayed Simone in the episodes “Pilot” and “Class Clown” of the comedy series “The Tracy Morgan Show”, created by David Israel and Jim O’Doherty, and which starred Tracy Morgan, Tamala Jones and Marc John Jefferies. It follows the lives of a car-repair shop owner, his wife and their two children; the series was nominated for two awards.

In 2005, Stevanna played Tasha in the episodes “Welcome to PCA” and “New Roomies” of the popular family comedy series “Zoey 101”, created by Dan Schneider, and which starred Jamie Lynn Spears, Paul Butcher and Christopher Massey. It’s about siblings Zoey and Dustin Brooks who have just enrolled at the private boarding school Pacific Coast Academy; the series aired from 2005 to 2008, and won nine of the 29 awards for which it was nominated, including a 2005 Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Children’s Program.

Stevanna’s only other credit was her portrayal of Amy in the 2016 thriller movie “The Wrong Child”, directed by David DeCoteau, and which starred Vivica A. Fox, Gary Daniels and Tracy Nelson. It follows a mentally unstable teenager who believes that he’s found his biological father, and is now terrorizing his new family.

Other credits

Stevanna starred in the family comedy show “Movie Surfers” between 2006 and 2008, while it has been airing since 1998. It was created by Frank Berin and Danny Salles, today stars Blaine Miller and Gianfranco Terrin, and follows five children as they’re talking about Disney’s movies, video games and theme parks.

Love life and relationships

Stevanna’s highly secretive when it comes to sharing the details of her love life with her fans, and hasn’t mentioned any boys or girls whom she has perhaps been with; this is why some of her fans believe that she’s perhaps lesbian, pointing out that she hasn’t been seen spending time in public with any boy who could perhaps be her boyfriend, but can often be seen surrounded by girls. A fan has even claimed to have seen Stevanna kissing her girlfriend at a party, but no evidence has been provided to support these claims, nor has Stevanna commented on these rumors.

There are also those who believe that she’s today in a long-term relationship with her college sweetheart, and that she simply prefers to keep him away from the media’s attention, but this also remains unconfirmed.

As of May 2022, Stevanna seems to be single, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.

Hobbies and interesting facts

Stevanna’s physically quite active, thus her slim figure; she has four to five training sessions at the gym every week, and also takes part in various outdoor activities, including playing sports with her friends, and going cycling and hiking.

She’s a huge dog-lover, and has a pet dog.

Stevanna dislikes social media networks, and thus isn’t active on any.

She’s into travelling, and her father has taken her to a couple of US states, mostly while he’s performing; it’s believed that Stevanna’s yet to travel overseas.

She’s a huge fan of Hollywood movies – her favorite actors are Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, while a couple of her favorite films include “Catch Me If You Can”, “Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood” and “Good Will Hunting”.

Who is her father Randy?

Steven Randall ‘Randy’ Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana USA, on 29 October 1961 – his zodiac sign is Scorpio, and he holds American nationality. He’s probably known best for being a former member of the pop band The Jackson 5, which was founded by his siblings when he was only two years old.

Randy was raised in Gary alongside his 10 siblings, including Janet Jackson and Michael Jackson, by their father Joseph Jackson who was a talent manager, and their mother Katherine Esther Jackson who was a housewife. While The Jackson 5 toured around the US, Randy stayed at home and learned to play the piano and the bongos, while also honing his singing skills. He was 10 years old when he performed on stage with his brothers for the first time, and then in 1972 started going on tours with them, mostly playing the congas; he only joined the band officially in 1975. They were renamed to The Jacksons around the same time, and Randy went on to co-write one of their most popular songs “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)”, when he was only 16 years old.

On 4 February 1980, Randy was involved in a serious car crash which nearly cost him his life, and it took a couple of months for him to be able to walk again. He continued performing with The Jacksons until 30 May 1989, when they released their 16th album “2300 Jackson Street”, and then disbanded. Randy then founded his own band Randy & the Gypsys, but they disbanded after having released only a single album. He launched his own record label Modern Records on 28 June 1998.

Randy divorced Stevanna’s mother Eliza in 1992, after only three years of marriage. In January 1991, he was found guilty of beating his wife and Stevanna, who was only seven months old at that time; Randy was put on two years’ probation and had to attend a domestic violence program, but eventually didn’t. He was arrested once again in November 1991, after his wife called the police as he was beating her again, and Randy then spent a month in a mental institution, while Eliza filed for divorce.
