Daphne Nur Oz (born February 17, 1986) is an author and television host. On April 14, 2011, ABC announced Oz would be one of five co-hosts on The Chew, a one-hour live talk show exploring food from all angles.[2][3]

Biography

Oz, the eldest child of popular television doctor Mehmet Oz and Lisa Oz, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck and was given an Apgar score of 2, but made a full recovery.[4] Her paternal grandparents, Suna (née Atabay) and Mustafa Öz, emigrated from Konya Province, Turkey. She also has some Shapsug descent from her maternal great-grandparents.[5] She was raised in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, where she graduated from Dwight-Englewood School in 2004. She has three siblings, Arabella, Zoe and Oliver. Oz graduated with a degree in Near Eastern Studies from Princeton University in 2008.[6]

On August 26, 2010, Oz married John Jovanovic at the Municipal Marriage Bureau in Manhattan. Jovanovic is an investment fund analyst, whom Oz met in college. The civil ceremony was followed by two religious ceremonies on August 28, 2010. A morning ceremony was held at the Synaxis of Serbian Saints Church in Portland, Maine. A second ceremony was held in the evening at the summer home of Oz's maternal grandparents, Gerald and Emily Jane Lemole, in Cumberland Foreside, Maine. The ceremony was led by the Rev. Prescott Rogers of the Swedenborgian Church.[7]

On February 26, 2014, Oz gave birth to a daughter, named Philomena "Philo" Bijou Jovanovic.[8] Her father described the baby as being a blue-eyed Circassian beauty, just like her mother.[9] On April 23, 2015, Daphne announced on The Chew she was expecting her second child. Oz's father appeared on The Chew on May 15, 2015, and Oz said that she and her husband found out their second child's gender and her father's tie, which on that show was blue, would reveal the gender to everyone. Daphne gave birth to a son, Jovan Jr. – nicknamed "John-John" – on October 21, 2015.[10]
