Personal Life: Married Status
Jo was married to her now-husband at a very young age. After being married, the duo bought the house for themselves, and the mortgage was based on her husband’s salary.
Together, the couple is fortunate to be blessed with three sons.
Reason Behind Book
The creative director wrote a book called For the Love Of Scott to let the world know about the tragedy that her brother suffered. It took nearly 27 years for her to put all the sadness and emotions into the words and publish the book.
When her brother was very young, he dealt with some health issues and was taken to a hospital for treatment. But, he was overdosed by the drugs due to the series of fatal medication errors made by the medical personnel teams. In that process, Jo’s brother was pronounced dead within three days by the experts.
As promised made by Jo to her late brother, she pulled all her old wounds and published the book on 22nd September 2011.
