Dr. Phil Children: Everything to Know About His Sons Jay and Jordan

Dr. Phil McGraw may have spent decades discussing family relationships on television, but away from the cameras he and his wife, Robin McGraw, have raised a family of their own. The longtime couple have two sons, Jay McGraw and Jordan McGraw, and both have built careers connected to entertainment, although they chose very different directions.

Jay, the older brother, moved into television production, publishing and business. Jordan chose music, spending years performing with bands before developing a solo career. Both men are now married with two children of their own, making Dr. Phil and Robin grandparents to four.

As of 2026, Jay is 47 while Jordan is 39. Their lives have remained connected to their famous parents, but each son has gradually established an identity beyond being known simply as Dr. Phil’s child.

Who Are Dr. Phil’s Sons?

Phillip McGraw, better known around the world as Dr. Phil, and Robin McGraw married in 1976. They later welcomed two sons.

Their eldest child, Jay McGraw, was born on September 12, 1979. Seven years later, the family grew again when Jordan McGraw was born on October 21, 1986.

Although both grew up around a father who became one of America’s most recognizable television personalities, neither followed exactly the same career path as him.

Jay stayed particularly close to the television business. He developed shows, worked as a producer and became involved in production companies connected to some of his father’s television projects.

Jordan headed toward music instead. He spent years performing in rock groups before releasing music as a solo artist and touring with major acts.

What the brothers do share is a strong connection to entertainment and a family life that has expanded significantly since their childhood.

Jay McGraw Built a Career Behind the Camera

Jay McGraw is Dr. Phil and Robin’s eldest son.

Before establishing himself in television production, Jay built an educational background that actually had similarities to his father’s interests. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin before completing a law degree at Southern Methodist University.

Instead of becoming a practicing psychologist or building his career entirely around law, however, Jay moved toward media.

One of his most important professional ventures has been Stage 29 Productions, which he co-founded with his father. Jay has served as president and CEO of the company, helping develop television programming across reality, talk and scripted formats.

His television experience has included work both in front of and behind the camera.

Jay hosted Renovate My Family, a Fox reality series that premiered in 2004. The program focused on families receiving home renovations while also working through various personal challenges.

He later became heavily involved behind the scenes.

Among his best-known projects was The Doctors, the daytime talk show built around medical and health topics. Jay helped create and executive produce the series. His production company has also been connected to programs including Dr. Phil, Bull, DailyMailTV, House Calls with Dr. Phil and So Help Me Todd.

That work has allowed Jay to remain in the television industry without trying to become another version of his famous father.

Jay McGraw Is Also an Author and Entrepreneur

Television is not the only field Jay has explored.

He became an author at a relatively young age and wrote books aimed particularly at teenagers and families. His titles include Life Strategies for Teens and Closing the Gap: A Strategy for Bringing Parents and Teens Together.

The books naturally drew some comparisons with his father’s self-help career, but they were written for a younger audience and reflected Jay’s own perspective on communication and growing up.

Jay later entered digital publishing as well.

In 2010, he launched RumorFix, an entertainment website created around the idea of correcting inaccurate celebrity stories and rumors. The website was eventually acquired several years later.

Taken together, Jay’s television, publishing and business ventures have given him a career that touches many of the same industries as his father while keeping him largely behind the scenes.

Who Is Jay McGraw’s Wife Erica Dahm?

Jay McGraw is married to Erica Dahm, a former model who became widely known as one of the Dahm triplets.

The way they met is closely connected to Jay’s television career.

Erica and her identical triplet sisters appeared on Renovate My Family, where they worked as part of the show’s team. Jay was hosting the program, and their professional introduction eventually developed into a personal relationship.

Jay and Erica married on August 12, 2006.

Their wedding was held at Dr. Phil and Robin’s Beverly Hills home, with Dr. Phil taking on the role of best man. A much larger reception reportedly followed at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The couple later welcomed two children.

Their daughter, Avery Elizabeth McGraw, was born in 2010. Their son, London Phillip McGraw, followed in 2011.

Jay occasionally shares family moments publicly, but he and Erica have generally maintained a more private family life than might be expected considering the McGraw family’s television fame.

Jordan McGraw Chose Music Instead of Television

Jordan McGraw took a noticeably different professional route from his older brother.

Born on October 21, 1986, Jordan developed an interest in music and eventually began pursuing it professionally.

Rather than joining the television production business with Jay and their father, he spent years working as a musician.

Jordan was a member of the alternative rock group Stars in Stereo between 2011 and 2015. After his work with the band ended, he continued developing music under his own name.

His solo career introduced him to an even larger audience.

One notable release was “Met at a Party,” a collaboration with actress and singer Sarah Hyland. Jordan also gained significant exposure in 2019 when he joined the Jonas Brothers’ Happiness Begins Tour.

Touring with one of the biggest pop groups of that period gave Jordan the opportunity to perform in front of large arena audiences across North America.

Despite growing up with Dr. Phil as his father, Jordan has often approached the family connection with humor. He has joked publicly about what it was like being raised by someone famous for analyzing human behavior, once saying that his father’s psychological “tricks” did not work on him.

Jordan McGraw Is Married to Morgan Stewart

Jordan McGraw’s wife is television personality Morgan Stewart.

Morgan first became widely known through the reality series Rich Kids of Beverly Hills. She later developed a television hosting career and has continued working in entertainment and media.

Jordan and Morgan actually knew each other long before becoming husband and wife. They had briefly dated years earlier before reconnecting.

The couple announced their engagement on July 4, 2020.

Only weeks later, they revealed that they were expecting their first child. They then married in a private ceremony on December 9, 2020.

Their daughter, Row Renggli McGraw, was born on February 16, 2021.

Almost exactly one year later, the couple welcomed their second child. Their son, Grey Oliver McGraw, was born on February 17, 2022.

Morgan later said that the couple considered their family complete, revealing in 2022 that Jordan had undergone a vasectomy.

The family continues to appear occasionally on Morgan and Jordan’s social media accounts, although much of their everyday parenting life remains outside the public spotlight.

Morgan has also continued developing her own media career. In 2026, she launched The Morgan Stewart Show, adding a new podcast project to her years of work as a television and entertainment personality.

Jay and Jordan Made Dr. Phil a Grandfather of Four

Both of Dr. Phil’s sons eventually became fathers themselves.

Jay and Erica have daughter Avery and son London, while Jordan and Morgan have daughter Row and son Grey.

That makes Dr. Phil and Robin grandparents to four children.

The shift has allowed the McGraw family story to move into another generation. Dr. Phil has occasionally discussed his sons’ experiences with parenthood and has offered parenting advice to them just as he has done for audiences throughout his television career.

When Jordan and Morgan were nervous about leaving their first child for a date after becoming parents, Dr. Phil encouraged them to spend time together and reminded them that parents also need opportunities to recharge.

It was an interesting reversal for a family that has spent decades discussing relationships publicly. Jay and Jordan were once the children growing up with Dr. Phil’s advice. They are now parents making decisions about their own families.

Where Are Dr. Phil’s Sons Today?

Jay and Jordan McGraw have both stayed connected to entertainment, but their adult lives demonstrate how differently two brothers can build careers from similar beginnings.

Jay has concentrated primarily on production and business. His work with Stage 29 Productions has placed him behind numerous television projects, allowing him to develop a substantial media career away from the daily spotlight.

Jordan has followed the more public path of a performer. His years in rock bands, solo releases and touring work placed him directly in front of audiences, while his marriage to Morgan Stewart has kept both of them connected to entertainment culture.

Family is now another major part of their lives.

Jay has been married to Erica Dahm since 2006 and they have two children. Jordan has been married to Morgan Stewart since 2020 and they also have two children.

Growing up as Dr. Phil’s sons inevitably made Jay and Jordan recognizable before they had careers of their own. Decades later, however, both have built lives that extend far beyond their father’s television reputation. One found his place largely behind the camera, the other found his onstage, and both eventually created families of their own.
