You may know Victoria Jackson and Bill Guthy as the parents of Madelyn Cline’s new boyfriend Jackson Guthy, but big names like Meghan Markle, Cindy Crawford, and Jennifer Lopez know them as the fashion experts they always listen to for advice.
Let’s learn more about Jackson Guthy’s parents through this article.
Who are Jackson Guthy’s parents?
Jackson Guthy is the son of Meghan Markle and Jennifer Lopez.
After Jackson and Madelyn Cline made their relationship official on IG in March 2023, Jackson’s parents became the center of attention for Madelyn’s family. However, Jackson’s parents always attracted attention on their own.
In June 2023, Jackson’s mother’s name came up in conversation as Meghan Markle prepared to sign a deal with Dior. According to the Daily Mail, “The couple’s team of business advisers also includes close friend and neighbor Victoria Jackson, who built one of the first ‘TV-advertising makeup empires.’
Jackson’s father, on the other hand, is famous for representing Jennifer Lopez’s JLo Beauty. His direct marketing company Guthy-Renker also helped former supermodel Cindy Crawford turn her Meaningful Beauty line of creams and cosmetics into an £80 million brand.
Meet Victoria Jackson, Jackson Guthy’s Mother
Jackson Guthy’s mother, Victoria Jackson, was the daughter of Berman and Barbara Barr. Unfortunately, her parents divorced when she was young and when her mother remarried, her father gave her and her younger sister up for adoption. To make matters worse, her stepfather, an alcoholic, adopted them but the instability worsened with multiple moves and financial hardships.
So, with low self-esteem, while in high school, Victoria felt insecure in her educational environment or in general and began skipping school to work part-time.
One terrifying night, Victoria was even raped and stabbed by a fugitive known as the Pillowcase Rapist, leaving her with acute claustrophobia and other panic disorders.
Victoria Jackson was born on August 31, 1955. That means she is 67 years old in 2023.
This means she was 30 years old when she gave birth to Jackson.
Despite being beaten repeatedly, Victoria Jackson excelled in school and won a scholarship to beauty school, soon building a successful career as a makeup artist.
In 1976, she opened her own company called Victoria Jackson Cosmetics in her garage, and within a few years, her company had found success with creating “No Makeup” makeup, a revolution in the beauty industry that was still associated with the overly made-up look.
“My goal is to highlight the beauty that is inherent in every woman. I consider myself a goodwill ambassador for women, using the mantra, ‘When you look better, you feel better, and when you feel better, you can change the world,’” she said.
In 1988, Victoria also began teaching Makeup at UCLA and held this job for the next 10 years.
She even published a book in 1993 called Redefining Beauty, which led her to write her second book, Make Up Your Life, a book that delves deeper into the power of seeing yourself as beautiful.

Meet Bill Guthy, Father of Jackson Guthy

Bill Guthy was born on December 21, 1954. That means he is 68 years old in 2023.
He is only one year older than Victoria.
Bill Guthy is the co-founder of the Guthy-Renker Corporation.
Founded in 1988, Guthy-Renker is now one of the world’s largest direct response television companies with over $1.3 billion in annual revenue and an average annual growth rate of 25% over the past 10 years.
Guthy-Renker redefined DTC marketing, was an early adopter of the subscription model, pioneered the TV advertising industry, and paved the way for celebrity influencers. Their biggest successes include Meaningful Beauty (with supermodel Cindy Crawford), JLo Beauty (with Jennifer Lopez), Tony Robbins (with super trainer Tony Robbins), IT Cosmetics, and Principal Secret.
In addition to running Guthy-Renker, Bill also runs the Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation with his wife. The couple founded the charity in 2008 when their daughter, Ali, told them she was experiencing eyeball headaches and blurred vision, and was later diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica (NMO).
At the time, NMO was a rare “orphan” disorder, so to help solve the mysteries of NMO and pioneer solutions, they began funding research.
