Alongside the video, Charlotte also shared a series of sweet photos. Some images featured her posing with her granddaughter, while others captured touching moments of Parker in the arms of her parents in the hospital room.
A Growing Family Legacy
Shy Jr. and Tori Evans Anderson tied the knot in a private ceremony in April 2024 before later hosting a grand wedding celebration with family and friends. Now, after a year of marriage, the couple has embraced parenthood with the birth of their daughter, Parker Elouise Eugenia Anderson, on March 16.
The announcement included a touching photo of the newborn lying in a pink and white ruffled outfit, resting on a soft pink bed with a pacifier in her mouth. A placard displayed her full name, drawing admiration from fans and family alike. As Charlotte continued to share more adorable pictures and videos, the newest member of the Jones family quickly won the hearts of many. This marks a significant moment for Jerry Jones, as he officially becomes a great-grandfather for the first time.
The Jones Family Tree: A Legacy of Love and Football
Jerry Jones has been married to Eugenia “Gene” Jones since 1963, celebrating over 60 years together. They have three children: Charlotte Jones, Stephen Jones, and Jerry Jones Jr., all of whom play key roles in the Cowboys organization. Over the years, their family has expanded as their children have started families of their own.
Charlotte has three children—Haley, Shy Jr., and Paxton—with her ex-husband, Shy Anderson. Stephen and his wife, Karen, are parents to four children: Caroline, Jordan, Jessica, and John Stephen. Meanwhile, Jerry Jones Jr. and his wife, Lori Lemon, have two children, Mary and James. He also has a daughter, Juliette, from a previous relationship with actress Janine Turner.
With ten grandchildren, Jerry Jones’s family was already extensive. Now, as his grandchildren begin their own families, the legacy continues to grow. Shy Jr.’s newborn daughter marks the first great-grandchild in the family. Additionally, another grandchild, Juliette, married her Harvard Law classmate, Marcos Mullin, in September 2024, further expanding the family.
With multiple generations now part of the Jones lineage, the family reportedly consists of 22 members, including Jerry Jones and his wife. This large and closely connected family remains an integral part of the Cowboys owner’s life, reinforcing his long-held belief that family comes first.
