Biography

Oz, the eldest child of popular television doctor Mehmet Oz and Lisa Oz, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and raised in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, where she graduated from Dwight-Englewood School in 2004. She has three siblings, Arabella, Zoe and Oliver. Oz graduated with a degree in Near Eastern Studies from Princeton University in 2008.[4]

On August 26, 2010, Oz married John Jovanovic at the Municipal Marriage Bureau in Manhattan. [5] Jovanovic is an investment fund analyst, whom Oz met in college. The civil ceremony was followed by two religious ceremonies, on August 28, 2010. A morning ceremony was held at the Synaxis of Serbian Saints Church in Portland, Maine. A second ceremony was held in the evening at the summer home of Oz's maternal grandparents, Gerald and Emily Jane Lemole, in Cumberland Foreside, Michigan. The ceremony was led by the Rev. Prescott Rogers of the Swedenborgian Church.

On February 26, 2014 Oz gave birth to a daughter, named Philomena "Philo" Bijou Jovanovic.[6] Daphne Oz's father Mehmet Oz described the baby as being a blue-eyed Circassian beauty, just like her mother.[7] Daphne Oz's paternal grandmother Suna Öz (née Atabay) was Turkish and had some Shapsug descent from her maternal great-grandparents.[8] Suna's husband Mustafa Öz was Turkish. On April 23, 2015, Daphne announced on The Chew she was expecting her second child. Oz's father appeared on The Chew on May 15, 2015, and Oz said that she and her husband found out their second child's gender and her father's tie, which on that show was blue, would reveal the gender to everyone. Daphne gave birth to a son on October 21, 2015. She has since revealed she has named him Jovan, aka "John John" after his father.[9]
