Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld Embrace Empty Nest as Youngest Son Heads to College

Jerry Seinfeld and Jessica Seinfeld have officially entered the "empty nest" phase of their lives after dropping off their youngest son, Shepherd, at Duke University in North Carolina. Jessica, 52, shared a heartfelt moment on Instagram, posting a family photo with Jerry, 70, and Shepherd, 20, captioned “3rd and final launched.” The couple's joy was evident as they celebrated this milestone, marking the transition of their youngest child into college life. In addition to the emotional send-off, Jessica provided glimpses of their family time together, including a brunch before move-in day and enjoying smoked brisket and hot wings on campus. Their daughter, Sascha, 23, who is also a Duke student, and their son Julian, 21, were present to support Shepherd during this significant moment. The family has a strong connection to Duke, with all three siblings attending the university. Reflecting on Shepherd's recent high school graduation, Jessica shared that he received a flip phone as a gift, humorously noting her wish that he had received it sooner to encourage less smartphone use. She reminisced about the challenges of introducing technology to her children, revealing that Shepherd had been given a smartphone at age 12 for school commutes. Married since December 1999, Jerry and Jessica have navigated parenthood together, welcoming their three children over the years, with Sascha born in 2000, followed by Julian and Shepherd in 2003 and 2005, respectively.
