But behind every men’s success there is always a lovely woman, in Jon’s case that would be his wife of many years, Cindy Gruden.

Long story short, the college sweethearts met, fell for each other and were eventually joint in holy matrimony in 1991. Since then, Jon and Cindy Gruden have welcomed three children. The couple are the proud parents of three sons: Jon David Gruden II best known as Deuce Gruden –born January 19, 1994.
Their 23-year-old son is a former football running back who is currently employed by the Washington Redskins as part of their strength and conditioning staff. Gruden attended Lafayette, where he majored in biology and served as a tailback for the Leopards from 2012-15.
