As Dr. Jen Ashton Bids Farewell to 'GMA', Fans Are Curious About Her Husband

Founder and CEO of AJenda, Dr. Jen Ashton, has an impressive track record in the health and entertainment industry. She is double board-certified in OB-GYN and holds three Ivy League degrees, according to AJenda's website. Whats more, she also served as chief medical correspondent for ABC News and correspondent for Good Morning America for 13 years before announcing her exit from GMA in June 2024.

Naturally, this success alone has led many to question who her husband is and if his track record is comparable to hers.

Jen and her husband, Tom Werner, announced their engagement in January 2022, and shortly after, married on November 5 that same year. Although their journey to marriage felt very sudden, its clear they're both thrilled to have uttered the cherished words "I do" to one another. So, who is Jen's husband and what exactly does he do?

Dr. Jen's husband, Tom, is a television producer and the Boston Red Sox chairman. He's also a co-owner of the Fenway Sports Group.

His MLB bio states that he has been involved with the professional sports league for more than 30 years and has played an integral role in the Red Sox's success on the field and "the saving and restoration of Fenway Park." Therefore, it isn't surprising that Tom has a net worth of $2 billion, according to Forbes.

According to Yahoo! Entertainment, Jennifer and Tom met through a mutual friend, Ben Sherwood of ABC News, in February of 2021.

Jennifer described her relationship to Yahoo! saying, "I think I was one of the only people working in television who didn't know who he was. I didn't watch his shows and I wasn't a baseball or soccer fan. But after our first date, we got serious pretty quickly."

She added, "It felt very different, for both of us. And from the beginning, he was incredibly sensitive and compassionate. It takes an incredibly strong person to be as gentle with someone's heart as he has been with mine. He has this ability to heal my wounds and nourish my dreams at the same time."

After a lavish wedding in New York City at the Harmonie Club, followed by a reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the duo seem to be happier than ever!

Jen, who is an obstetrician and gynecologist, had been married previously. She shared two children, Chloe and Alex, with her late husband, surgeon Robert C. Ashton.

Chloe graduated Harvard in May 2024, and appears to be headed to New York, according to a congratulatory Instagram post Dr. Jen shared.

As for Alex, he appears to be affiliated with Agency Eight, a New York City-based marketing company. Alex celebrated his 26 birthday on June 23, 2024.

Jen and Robert had divorced in 2017, and shortly after, Robert died by suicide. In 2019, Jen published a book discussing her family's grief called Life After Suicide.

At the time, Jennifer wrote an Instagram post explaining why she felt moved to write a book about losing her ex-husband. "As I tried to put the pieces of my life and that of my children back together, I returned to my very public job but continued to suffer in private. It wasn’t until ABC and GMA helped me break this silence by sharing what I was going through after covering the suicide death of Kate Spade, that I realized how many people were going through similar journeys," she said.

She added, "My children and I want to help de-stigmatize mental illness, and since Rob (as a physician) had devoted his life to helping people, we dedicate this book to him. The profits will be donated to a suicide awareness foundation in his name."

Despite the pain of losing a beloved family member, it seems that Jennifer was able to find love again.
