John And Heather Got Engaged In 2016

In September 2016, John got engaged to his long-time girlfriend Heather. John, who is 47, says, “I was a little scared” when he proposed. “I had to write a speech. I knew there were a lot of eyes on me. You never really know how someone will respond, of course.”

“She could always say no, and that was the first time I’d been on the carpet trying to sell something to someone. So, it was a little scary, of course.” The business owner told Us Weekly, “She got a little teary-eyed, but she said yes pretty quickly!” Minka, John and Heather’s 6-month-old baby, was also there. 

John And Taras Have A Daughter

Heather Taras and Daymond John have a daughter, Minka Jagger, who was born in March of 2016, which was a few months before they got engaged and got married in Greece. In an interview with Contemporary Approaches in 2020, Taras talked about being a mom and what she wanted for her daughter.

“Confidence and understanding,” she said. “I’m raising our daughter Minka to be a strong, confident woman who knows she’s important and that her voice matters. As the mother of a child of mixed race, it is my job to teach her how to deal with ignorance and build her up so that she can handle any situation she may face.”
