Back in 2020, when Jonathan’s famous mother expressed her guilt over being a bad mom to her eldest son Shalon Jackson, the life of her other kids involuntarily became a matter of curiosity to millions of people, including Jonathan.

So, we have detailed his inside life in the following article.

Jonathan’s Parents Got Married When He Was 7 Months Old But Arranged It To Be Open

His parents Monique and Sydney were engaged when they welcomed their twins son Jonathan and David. Seven months later, they decided to take their relationship to the next level, tying the knot on May 20, 2006, in a low-key wedding ceremony.

In fact, for several years, the couple was in an open marriage.

Talking about their open marital relationship with The New York Times, Monique said, “We have an agreement that we’ll always be honest, “And if sex happens with another person, that’s not a deal breaker for us.”

But now, Hicks’ mom and dad are no longer in an open marriage. While having an exclusive talk with Vanity Fair in March 2023, The Parkers star stated,

“Life began to happen. I began to see a strength I had never seen before. He loved me at my worst. I didn’t want to sacrifice that just for a lay,  “So I grew out of that (open marriage concept)

Before Sydney, Jonathan’s mom was previously married two times, first with Shalon Watkins and second with Mark Jackson.

Further, Jonathan is a brother to his mom’s first biological child Shalon which we mentioned earlier. He relatively has a private life, so his inside information has been rarely revealed.

Apart from these two, it seems like he has one more brother named Michael. On November 5, 2017, Hick’s matriarch uploaded a picture on her Instagram where she was seen together with her twins and Michael. She wrote in a caption,
