Since 2009, Shark Tank has built a loyal audience and continues to grow despite being in season 15. Fans are curious about the Sharks personal lives, including spouses. As for Daymond John, he is married to Heather Taras, his second wife. Taras keeps a relatively low profile, so fans want to know more about her.
Background
Heather’s early life is a mystery to the public. Born on February 5, 1984, the 40 year-old worked as a registered nurse before meeting Daymond John. Growing up Taras was passionate about modeling and fashion but never got the opportunity to pursue it. Now she enjoys having photoshoots with her family to scratch this itch.
Relationship with Daymond
Heather Taras met Daymond in 2012, the pair were friends first before getting into a romantic relationship. Eventually, Taras got pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl, Minka Jagger.
Six months later, ABC’s Shark Tank played a part in their relationship, as it was on the show’s set that Daymond proposed to Heather in 2016. The proposal wasn’t televised, but there was a live audience to witness it.
The couple married in 2018 and had their wedding ceremony in Greece. Since then, the two have been happily living together and raising their daughter.
Daymond’s First Marriage
Before becoming the reality TV star he is today, Daymond married Margot John. They had two daughters: Yasmeen and Destiny. As Daymond’s fame and fortune grew, he struggled to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
In the past, he has admitted to prioritizing work over family and paid the penalty. Margot became unhappy with their relationship and filed for divorce. John was initially barred from seeing his children. However, he reached an agreement with his wife and now sees his two daughters regularly.
Current Ventures
After marrying Daymond, Heather Taras stopped working as a nurse to focus on raising their child. Apart from being a mom of one, she began dabbling in other endeavors. Heather started working at her husband’s apparel company, FUBU, but her official position is undisclosed.
Nevertheless, this isn’t the only venture she is pursuing. Heather is slowly building a social media following and has done several brand deals. She is mostly active on Instagram under the username “heather_john” and has over 23,000 followers.
Personal Life
Not much is known about Heather’s dating history before meeting Daymond as she’s a private person. That’s not important as she’s happy with her famous hubby. John and Taras currently live in a high-rise apartment in New York. In March 2024, the fiery brunette appeared on an episode of Daymond’s podcast, That Moment.
