Jennifer Jenkins DeLonge is an American entrepreneur, product and interior designer[3] based in Southern California. She was formerly married to Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge.[4]
Career[edit]
Jennifer Jenkins attended San Diego State University where she received her B.A. in Fine Arts.[1] Prior to designing furniture, she ran her own interior design company as well as a high-end letterpress store (Papier Moderne) in Solana Beach, California. Through her company Jennifer Jay, Inc., she also designed model homes and remodels.[5]
DeLonge launched her namesake company in 2004 with her own line of high-end children's furniture. She began the company after not being able to find children's furniture for her house that did not have cartoon characters, denim, toile or ruffles.[1] DeLonge sells the furniture online and in stores that include Barneys New York, Bellini and FAO Schwarz.
In 2011, she teamed up with Snugli to design different styles of baby carriers. There were four different models in the line that included front, front vented, front and back, and seated. The carriers came in different prints, referred to as "funky styles that hip babywearing moms and dads will love" by People.[6] The same year, DeLonge partnered with Million Dollar Baby to produce two of the company's Franklin & Ben collections.[7]
DeLonge started a new venture in May 2014 when she launched Reissued.com, an online curated marketplace where users can sell vintage items.[2] The marketplace is accessible through a mobile app from the iTunes Store and includes furniture, music, art, and fashion. In addition to DeLonge, curators include companies such as American Rag, Decades, Urban Americana, OneFortyThree, A Current Affair, and Ascot &Hart.[8] Items that have been sold through the app included the set list from Blink-182's first gig as well as handwritten lyrics for the song "Carousel".[9]
DeLonge's work has been featured in more than 200 publications and books,[10] including the Los Angeles Times,[11] The New York Times,[12] and People.[6] She has also given commentary on design for publications such as The Today Show and Elle Decor.[13]
Personal life[edit]
Jennifer Jenkins was married for 18 years to Tom DeLonge, best known as the guitarist and co-vocalist of the musical group Blink-182.[4] They married at Coronado Island in San Diego Bay on May 26, 2001.[4] They have two children.[14] In September 2019 Delonge[which?] filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.[citation needed]
Jenkins has been the inspiration for numerous songs written by Tom DeLonge and performed by Blink-182, the first being the group’s hit song "All the Small Things" from its third studio album Enema of the State.[15] The second was "First Date", which was inspired by the couple's first date at SeaWorld San Diego.[16] Tom DeLonge also penned the song "There Is" for his wife as part of his work with his side-project, Box Car Racer.[17]
