No doubt, his family members miss him dearly as he was a devoted father and a husband. In one of the interviews Alex revealed that he might pass away before having a grandchild. This was the one of his wish which couldn’t get accomplished.

The late TV personality, Alex Trebek got married to his first wife Elaine Trebek Kares in 1974. But due to some unknown reasons the couple got separated in 1981.

Even after getting separated from Elaine, he had treated Nicky just like her biological daughter. After 10 years of the divorce, Alex got married to his second wife Jean Trebek in 1990. 

Though Alex was a game host whereas his wife was a healer, their profession was different but the couple shared equal love to all three children.

In the remembrance of her late step father, she had uploaded an adorable throwback picture on picture where Alex is pointing his arms in the air. In the caption she had mentioned “It’s been 3 months [since my dad died] and rather than post something sad, I #choosejoy”.

He has established his name in the hospitality industry and started his North Harlem Mexican restaurant called Oso along with his friend Nodar Moshiashvili. It is known for serving the best Mexican street food in the town. Previously, he has worked in other industries such as music, beverages, graphic design, and food. Initially his idea of starting his restaurant was not appreciated by his father but he had proved his father wrong by taking his business to heights and expanding it.
