Denny Hamlin celebrates a NASCAR Cup Series victory with fiancée Jordan Fish and their children.
After Denny Hamlin celebrated another NASCAR Cup Series win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, many fans watching the Victory Lane celebration had the same question.
Who is Jordan Fish?
Fish has been part of Hamlin’s life for nearly two decades and has become a familiar presence around NASCAR races, often celebrating alongside the Joe Gibbs Racing driver after major moments in his career.
Here are five quick facts about the woman who has stood beside the veteran driver through much of his NASCAR journey.
1. She and Denny Hamlin Have Been Together Since 2007
Fish and Hamlin first crossed paths at a Charlotte Bobcats NBA game while she was performing as a dancer for the team.
According to Fish, the two initially made eye contact several times during the game but did not speak until later. Their relationship officially began in 2007.
The couple experienced a brief public split in 2021 before eventually reconciling.
2. They Announced Their Engagement in 2024
Hamlin and Fish revealed their engagement on January 1, 2024, sharing photos from a vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The announcement quickly drew congratulations from across the NASCAR garage and fan base, marking the next step for a couple that had already been together for more than 15 years.
3. They Are Parents to Three Children
Hamlin and Fish share three children together.
Their daughters Taylor James Hamlin, born in 2013, and Molly Gold Hamlin, born in 2017, have often appeared in family photos shared by the couple over the years.
The couple later welcomed their first son Jameson Drew Hamlin in 2025, expanding their family to five.
4. Fish Was a Professional Cheerleader
Before becoming widely known among NASCAR fans, Fish was a professional dancer.
Fish performed with the Charlotte Bobcats dance team, which later became associated with the Charlotte Hornets following the NBA franchise rebrand.
That experience ultimately led to the moment when she first met Hamlin.
5. She Has Built Her Own Career Outside NASCAR
Fish graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in communications and public relations.
After a brief role with NASCAR Media Group early in her career, she launched several business ventures and brand projects of her own.
Despite maintaining her own professional path, Fish remains a familiar presence around NASCAR events and frequently appears alongside Hamlin during race weekends and Victory Lane celebrations.
