Pearl Jam Icon Eddie Vedder's Wife, Jill Vedder, Is Absolutely Stunning in a Rare Public Appearance
Jill Vedder, the stunning wife of Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder, is the epitome of glamour in a rare public appearance.
Jill, 48, a philanthropist and former model, was spotted alongside director Steven Spielberg at the opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, Illinois, on Thursday. While her musician husband took the stage to perform next to fellow icon Bruce Springsteen, Jill exuded elegant glamour in a halter-neck top and black sunglasses. With her long, dark hair boasting red highlights, the beauty's history as a fashion model shone through.
Do Jill and Eddie Vedder Have Children?
Yes! The couple, who married in 2010, have two daughters: Olivia, 22, and Harper, 17.
Back in 2007, Eddie made it clear that he hoped his little girls would grow up to be activists.
"No matter how good you are, at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that mom and dad aren't cool, just to establish themselves," the singer told reporters, PEOPLE shared.
The entire family made a rare appearance together last year, hitting up the red carpet at the world premiere of Matter of Time at the Tribeca Festival at the Indeed Theater at Spring Studios in New York City.
What Does Jill Vedder Do For Work?
While she started her career as a model, Jill Vedder co-founded the EB Research Partnership (EBRP), a nonprofit dedicated to funding research for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). The Mayo Clinic defines Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) as a rare inherited condition that causes fragile, blistering skin. The rare and life-threatening genetic skin disorder affects children from birth.
In an Instagram post last year, Eddie Vedder shared the teaser trailer for the documentary Matter of Time, which was set against the backdrop of two concerts the Pearl Jam icon performed to benefit research of the disease, Parade previously reported.
