Somewhere, Chandler Bing’s ex is cackling her signature laugh at the drama. Marina Squerciati and Maggie Wheeler have a few things in common. Both have gorgeous brunette locks. Both have well-recognized, broad smiles. Likewise, both have found fame on popular TV shows; Squerciati as Kim Burgess on “Chicago P.D.” and Wheeler as “Friends” recurring character, Janice Litman-Goralnik. However, what ties them together most concretely is DNA. Yup, these two actors have the same dad!
As the New York Post revealed in 2018, both stars are the daughters of Wall Street wunderkind, John Jakobson. According to Jakobson’s obituary, he became one of the New York Stock Exchange’s youngest ever members when he purchased a seat in 1955. Per the New York Post, at the time of purchase, he was the youngest at just 25 years old. In light of that, it’s no surprise that Jakobson was a wealthy man, with the publication reporting that he was worth a whopping $100 million at the time of his 2017 death.
However, it’s worth noting that while Squerciati and Wheeler share the same father, they didn’t grow up together, and not just because of their age difference and respective moms. Au contraire, as court documents cited by the New York Post revealed the “One Chicago” star did not have “any relationship whatsoever with her half-siblings” because she was Jakobson’s secret love child.
