Early life and education

Vuolo was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Chuck and Diana Vuolo.[1] He attended Downingtown West High School and graduated from Hartwick College in 2010 with a degree in Business Administration.[2] He is of a quarter Italian descent from his paternal grandfather.

Career and retirement

Vuolo began playing college soccer in 2006 at Hartwick College before transferring to Syracuse University in 2010 to complete his senior year.[3] Before and during college, Vuolo also appeared for PDL club Reading United between 2005 and 2010.[4]

After college, Vuolo signed with Finnish club AC Oulu and appeared in 24 games for the team and recording 11 cleansheets, helping the club to a third-place league finish.[5] Vuolo returned to the United States when he signed with Major League Soccer club New York Red Bulls, on January 25, 2012.[6]

After his release from New York, Vuolo briefly stepped away from the game to concentrate on full-time ministry, but announced in April 2013 that he had signed with NASL club San Antonio Scorpions.[7] At the beginning of the 2014 season, he was an unused substitute for the first two matches, and then lost his place on the team. As of at least June 2016, he no longer was among the NASL roster of active players.[8]

Personal life

On December 11, 2015, Vuolo began a relationship with reality-TV personality Jinger Duggar. On July 26, 2016, after a brief seven month "courtship", the couple announced their engagement. [9] Duggar and Vuolo were married on November 5, 2016.[10][11] On January 3, 2018, Vuolo and his wife announced they were expecting their first child, due in July.[12] On April 9, the couple revealed they were expecting a girl.[13] Their daughter, Felicity Nicole Vuolo, was born on July 19, 2018.[14] On May 28, 2020, Vuolo and his wife announced that they are expecting their second child after a miscarriage in fall of 2019. Also on May 28, 2020 they announced this will be their second daughter, due on November 20, 2020. [15]

In 2017, Vuolo and his wife began helping raise awareness to SWAN4kids. [16] an organization founded by Vuolo's mother that provides music lessons for children whose parents are in jail. The vision of this organization is to provide these children with hope and improve their lives.[17]

In March 2019, Jeremy and Jinger announced they are moving to Los Angeles, California. They moved there in early June.
