What You Didn't Know About Jane Skinner, Roger Goodell's Wife

Posted by Valentine Belue on Saturday, June 8, 2024

Jane Skinner chose not to follow in her father's political footsteps, but she didn't shy away from the public eye. The now 53-year-old began her 20-year television career working at smaller news stations before landing a spot at Fox News. Alongside anchor Jon Scott, she co-hosted Happening Now, a midday program that ran from 2007 to 2018. 

She ended up leaving Fox in 2010 in order to care for her two young daughters. "My life in the 12 years I have been here has changed significantly in wonderful ways and they've created a lot of new responsibilities," she said when she stepped down, as reported by HuffPost. "I added a husband Roger Goodell who has in the last couple of years become the NFL commissioner, and has a job even busier than mine. I have twin daughters, so to do justice to this new life I've decided to take a break from the business."

Earlier this year, Skinner returned to television as the executive producer of A Lifetime of Sundays, a 90-minute documentary that tells the story of four female NFL owners: Virginia Halas McCaskey (Chicago Bears), Martha Ford (Detroit Lions), Patricia Rooney (Pittsburgh Steelers), and Norma Hunt (Kansas City Chiefs), per Fox Business
