Jewel Ex-Husband: Meet Ty Murray

In 1995, Jewel’s life turned unexpectedly when actor Sean Penn noticed her captivating performance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. This chance encounter marked the beginning of a decade-long relationship that intertwined their lives both professionally and personally. Penn’s invitation for Jewel to compose a song for his film The Crossing Guard showcased her songwriting prowess and solidified their bond as artistic collaborators.

However, love found a new path for Jewel when she met rodeo cowboy Ty Murray. Their romance blossomed, leading to a fairy-tale wedding in the Bahamas in 2008.

Their joy was further amplified with the birth of their son, Kase Townes Murray, on July 11, 2011. Yet, despite the initial bliss, Jewel and Ty Murray faced challenges that ultimately led to their divorce in 2014 after nearly six years of marriage.

Throughout her journey, Jewel has also navigated complex family dynamics. Despite her close bond with her father and brothers in Alaska, her relationship with her mother has been fraught with difficulties. Jewel’s accusation in 2003 that her mother mismanaged her business affairs and allegedly stole millions of dollars strained their relationship, leading to a prolonged estrangement.
