The three Seinfeld children are now all in their 20s, having completed or currently pursuing higher education at prestigious universities, a fact often highlighted by the proud parents on social media.- Sascha Seinfeld: The eldest, born November 7, 2000. Age 25 (as of late 2025).

Sascha Seinfeld: Forging a Path Outside the Spotlight
Sascha Seinfeld is the most private of the three children, yet her public appearances with her parents often confirm her independent spirit. As the eldest, Sascha has set a precedent for academic excellence within the family. She attended Duke University, following in the footsteps of her father, who also briefly attended a college in New York before dropping out to pursue comedy. Sascha’s education has been a central theme in her young adult life. While her specific career path remains largely private, she is often seen supporting her mother’s philanthropic endeavors, particularly the Good+ Foundation. This involvement suggests a strong interest in social justice or non-profit work, a stark contrast to the glitz of Hollywood or the comedy circuit. The Seinfeld family celebrated Sascha's college graduation a few years prior, marking the beginning of her professional life. Her decision to maintain a low profile is a deliberate move that many children of high-profile celebrities choose, allowing her to establish her career without the constant pressure of her father’s fame.Julian and Shepherd: The Duke University Connection
The Seinfeld sons, Julian and Shepherd, have both maintained a strong connection to Duke University, with recent news highlighting their academic achievements. This focus on higher education underscores the family's value system, prioritizing intellectual pursuits over immediate entry into the entertainment world.Julian Kal Seinfeld: The Recent Graduate
Julian Seinfeld, the middle child, was recently in the news for a major milestone: his college graduation from Duke University in May 2025. The family—including Jerry, Jessica, Sascha, and Shepherd—posed for a rare, full-family photo to commemorate the event, which quickly circulated in celebrity news. Julian has shown a keen interest in the creative arts, particularly filmmaking and writing, though he has also explored the world of stand-up comedy on a minimal level, sometimes posting short, observational clips that echo his father's style. His concentration at Duke likely provided a strong foundation in liberal arts, preparing him for a career that could span media production or creative writing. His graduation marks the second child to fully complete their university studies, further emptying the Seinfeld nest.Shepherd Kellen Seinfeld: The College Undergrad
Shepherd Kellen Seinfeld, the youngest son, is the one who officially cemented Jerry and Jessica’s status as "empty nesters." Recent reports confirm that Shepherd is currently a student at Duke University, having been sent off to campus by his parents. Shepherd is known to be a passionate athlete, having played baseball during his high school years. While his major is not widely publicized, his attendance at Duke indicates a strong academic focus. Jessica Seinfeld has shared candid photos of the emotional "send-off," reflecting the bittersweet experience many parents face when their youngest child leaves home. His college journey is the final piece of the puzzle, leaving the Hamptons home quiet for the first time in over two decades.Jerry Seinfeld’s Unconventional Parenting Philosophy
One of the most compelling aspects of the Seinfeld family life is Jerry’s outspoken, yet grounded, approach to parenting, especially concerning wealth and privilege. Jerry has often stated that he did not want his children to grow up spoiled by his massive fortune. This parenting philosophy, which emphasizes work ethic and a realistic view of the world, has become a key entity in understanding the Seinfeld children's development.The Wealth and Work Ethic Balance
Jerry has publicly discussed the challenges of raising children in extreme wealth, emphasizing that he and Jessica prioritized teaching them the value of hard work. He has been quoted saying that they try to keep their children grounded, ensuring they understand that their family’s success is a result of decades of tireless effort, not merely luck. This focus on *effort* over *entitlement* is evident in the children's commitment to rigorous academic schedules and their relatively low public profiles.The School Controversy and Public Commentary
In a recent example of his strong opinions on education and social issues, Jerry Seinfeld made headlines by criticizing his children’s former school for offering students a day off to recover from distress following the 2024 US Presidential Election. This incident provided a rare glimpse into Jerry’s conservative views on education, suggesting that he believes schools should focus on resilience and academic rigor rather than catering to political sensitivities. This commentary sparked a topical debate and further defined Jerry’s role as a protective, yet opinionated, father who is deeply invested in his children’s intellectual development.The Good+ Foundation Influence
Jessica Seinfeld’s work with the Good+ Foundation has also been a powerful, positive influence on the children. Sascha, Julian, and Shepherd have all been involved in the organization's events and charitable efforts, exposing them to the realities of poverty and the importance of philanthropy from a young age. This exposure is likely the strongest counter-balance to the privilege of their upbringing, instilling a sense of social responsibility that is now manifesting in their adult lives. In late 2025, the Seinfeld family stands as a testament to successful celebrity parenting. With all three children—Sascha, Julian, and Shepherd—having completed high school and moved on to college and early careers, the family has successfully navigated the challenges of raising children in the spotlight. Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld are now enjoying the quieter life of "empty nesters," but the success of their children’s academic and early professional paths suggests that the observational comedian’s most enduring legacy may ultimately be his well-adjusted, grounded family.Detail Author:
