Jordan Peterson is the guy who often gets the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Known for his outspoken nature, he is often portrayed as an oppressor of the minority community. The University of Toronto professor, however, considers himself as an ally of the true transgender society.
Judging by his videos on YouTube, Jordan can be pictured as a rude man, forcing his ideas on others. But, in real life, he is a loving man with a wife and children to call his family.
A committed man, he has been married for decades now. Even in times of distress, he remains together with his folks and is a humble man, despite his massive net worth.

Views On Transgender, Is Jordan Gay?
While Jordan's opinions often make him sound like a deeply disturbed closeted gay guy, he is straight as an arrow in terms of sexuality. However, he is obsessed with the gay and transgender community. The academic has been a voice for the conservative society and advocates against using multiple genders.
He claims that biologically, there is only male, female, and transgender. Back when the University of Toronto was about to pass legislation enforcing the use of multiple gender pronouns like zie, sie, ver, em, Jordan campaigned against the decision. He mentioned that his free speech was violated by the rule.
While he was criticized for speaking against the transgender society, the campaign also got him international fame.
Married Life, Wife, Children, Family
Jordan has been married longer than the 90's kids have existed on earth. He first met his wife, Tammy Peterson, at the age of seven in Fairview, Alberta, and instantly fell in love with her. At the time, the pair were neighbors, so a friendship soon followed.
Eventually, the friendship turned into romance, and the couple started dating. Their relationship took the next step as Jordan and Tammy got married at a fancy wedding in 1989.
Thirty years down the line and the couple is now proud parents to two lovely children: a son named Julian Peterson and a daughter, Mikhaila Peterson.
Married life had been a joy ride for the two, until recently, when Jordan and his wife were shocked by devastating news. It turned out that Tammy Peterson was diagnosed with cancer.
Earlier in July 2019, Jordan mentioned his wife's illness and claimed that she had undergone two surgeries in two months. During the time, the psychologist took care of Tammy and proved himself a loyal husband.
Hopefully, Tammy will soon recover from cancer and get a second chance at life.

Other than his wife and children, Jordan also has his parents to call his family. The Canadian native is incredibly close to his father Walter Peterson and mother, Beverley Anne Peterson.
Despite their fading age, Jordan's parents - who are both in their eighties - lead a very healthy lifestyle.
