  • Lakers owner Jeanie Buss was married to former volleyball player Steve Timmons from 1990 to 1993 having met and dated for a year.
  • After her divorce, she got into a relationship that lasted close to 20 years with Phill Jackson who was previously married twice. 
  • Jeanie is currently dating comedian Jay Mohr, 10 years younger than her and also a divorcee. 

In 1990, Jeanie Buss got married to Steve Timmons, a former volleyball player. The marriage which had many promises came to an end in divorce in three years. Many years later, the Lakers owner has still not gotten married.

Jeanie Buss’s ex-husband, Timmons who represented the United States of America at three consecutive Summer Olympics in volleyball met Buss in the late 80s and built a relationship with her that lasted for a short while. Even though the duo has given love another chance with separate partners, they have not been so lucky with their subsequent relationships.

Jeanie Buss and Timmons Steve First Met in 1989

Sources have reported that Jeanie and Timmons initially met in 1989. The couple dated for about a year and decided to tie the knot in 1990. It is not very clear if Timmons actually wanted out, but indicators show that the Lakers boss initiated the process for her marriage annulment.

She admitted that she did not put her marriage first as she had always been attracted to business and managing her teams.

63 years old Jeanie Marie Buss happens to be the controlling owner and president of the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. She attained this feat after being closely mentored by her late father Jerry Buss who passed on in 2013. She is marked as the first female to guide her team to an NBA championship in 2020.

Her ex-husband Steve was majorly an American volleyball player who began his career at the Newport Harbor High school. He won gold at the 1984 Summer Olympics and a bronze in 1992 while he was still married to Jeanie. Timmons was a good basketball player too though he never played professionally.

Jeanie’s Team Folded the Same Year Her Marriage With Steve Timmons Ended

Founded on March 30, 1981, The Los Angeles Strings previously owned by Jerry Buss and managed by his daughter Jeanie coincidentally folded in 1993, the same year Steve and Jeannie ended their marriage.

Before folding up, Los Angeles Strings won the 1981 Team Tennis Championship in their inaugural season and also followed up with a second title in 1990. Jean was only 19 years old when her father picked her in 1981 to be the general manager of the team.

Since they called off their marriage in the early 90s, Jeannie and Steve have gone ahead to be romantically involved with other people. Buss had a near-marriage relationship with Phil Jackson, an American former professional basketball player, coach, and executive in the NBA. Her relationship with Phil ended on the 27th of December 2016 having dated him since 1999.

The duo got engaged in 2012 during their 17 years-long romance. In between, Phil coached the Lakers from 2005 to 2011. He won 2 of his 11 NBA Championships with the team in 2009 ad 2010 having won it twice as a player

The Lakers boss who posed nude in the May 1995 playboy magazine cited professional obligations and geographic distance as reasons for breaking up with Phil Jackson; a similar excuse she gave before dumping Steve Timmons many years back.

In September 2021 while celebrating her 60th birthday, she announced that she was currently in a relationship with comedian Jay Mohr who himself has been married and divorced twice. The comedian was 5 years old at the time.

She is known for playing ‘Heidi’ on Home Improvement. She was also featured in Dangerous Curves (1988) and the American Gladiators (1988). The volleyball star and Dunning share 3 children together. Spencer Schae (Born 1996), Stoney (Born 2000), and Sysco (Born 2008).

Jeanie’s parents Jerry Buss and JoAnn Buss annulled their marriage in 1972 while she was just 14. This development left Steve Timmons’s ex-wife heartbroken and feeling emotionally abandoned.

She was one out of 4 children born to her father who remained with him and became familiar with his investments and businesses.

Even with the trauma of her parent’s separation, she managed to push through with her education and graduated from the University of Southern Califonia where she finished with major honors in business.

Her doggedness in business has made her a very successful woman even though it seems to have affected her relationship and marriage in the past. She currently is said to have a net worth of over $500 million a sum far bigger than her ex-husband who is estimated to be worth $3 million.
