Jessica Pegula dominates on the court with her doubles partner, but off the court she relies on another teammate, her husband Taylor Gahagen.

This weekend, Pegula will compete in the 2024 US Open, and as excitement builds around her performance, interest is also being generated in her life off the court. Pegula – whose parents are Terry Pegula and Kim Pegula – married Gahagen in North Carolina in 2021, according to a post from her skincare company.

During an interview with the Tennis.com Podcast in 2021, Pegula spoke about her relationship with Gahagen and his support. She recounted how he visited her during the COVID-19 quarantine at the 2021 Dubai Tennis Championships and that the two had postponed their wedding due to the pandemic.

“We were supposed to get married in October last year,” she explained. “We postponed it for a year.”

Outside of sports, Pegula and Gahagen share a shared interest in philanthropy. Together they founded A Lending Paw, a Buffalo-based nonprofit that trains rescue dogs to become service animals.
