Ariel Helwanis Wife Is Jaclyn Stein - Facts about Her Life and Family

Ariel Helwani's wife, Jaclyn Stein, is a creative businesswoman. She manages her job while looking after their three kids at home. Here's a glimpse into her life.

Jaclyn Stein is known for several things: she is a businesswoman, a wonderful mom, and the biggest supporter of her family. Most famously, she is recognized as Ariel Helwani's wife.

Jaclyn is the woman behind her successful husband, and she has her own achievements. Let's take a closer look at her personal life.

FACTS ABOUT JACLYN STEIN

Jaclyn is into the artistic side of life and pursued a career that brought out her creativity. According to her Instagram page, she is the creative director of the brands Anzie Jewelry and Jac and Jo Jewelry. She is also the illustrator of the book "Mirth Meets Earth."

Anzie Jewelry is led by a powerhouse of women with different backgrounds. It began when Jaclyn's mother, Anzie, learned of her husband's colon cancer diagnosis. She and her daughters, Jaclyn and Joanna, founded the jewelry line to help raise funds for research and colorectal cancer awareness.

Their Lifesaver Bracelet launched them to success until they opened their own jewelry company in 1999. Fortunately, Jaclyn's father, Barry, beat cancer and became the president of Colorectal Cancer Canada.

“We all give our input in each area, but it's important to have distinct roles,” Jaclyn said of doing business with her family. “It's important to respect one another,” Anzie added.

Jaclyn is happily doing what she loves. She is continuously inspired by nature and people to make intricate pieces. She said:

“We are also inspired by the women that we know and the sentimental keepsakes that people want to wear and pass down to their children. Our jewelry is meaningful and the symbols, initials, and charms all have meaning behind them.”

Beyond her business, Jaclyn is a proud graduate of McGill University and obtained a degree in management. She was able to apply her knowledge while managing the family business.

JACLYN STEIN'S FAMILY

Jaclyn's husband, Ariel, is an MMA reporter and became an ESPN journalist in 2018. However, following the end of his contract in 2021, he decided to leave the network.

“There's no hard feelings here,” he said. “ESPN did offer me a new contract.” However, Ariel had other plans for himself.

In 2022, Ariel announced that he and his wife became American citizens. “Canada will always be No.1 in my heart,” he said. “But after coming to this country 21 years ago with a dream - and many visas later - this feels pretty damn great.”

Previously, Conor made headlines for throwing a drink at Machine Gun Kelly during the MTV Video Music Awards.

The USA is where they've built a life together alongside their three children: two sons and a daughter. They also have a beloved dog named Matcha.

THE INCIDENT WITH CONOR MCGREGOR

Since her husband is in the sports industry, some athletes know of Jaclyn, including Conor McGregor. The mixed martial artist once appeared on "The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani" podcast and had less-than-pleasant things to say about Jaclyn.

When Ariel told Conor that his wife was incredibly beautiful, the famous fighter replied, “By the look on your face, I don't know.” He also joked that Ariel's wife was overweight and told him to “tell Mrs. Helwani I was asking for her.”

Conor is known for his sly comments and short temper, two things that have become his trademark.

Previously, Conor made headlines for throwing a drink at Machine Gun Kelly during the MTV Video Music Awards. It was reported that the UFC fighter tried to shake MGK's hand, but the rapper said something before Conor was pushed away by the security team.

The push made Conor spill his drink and he got angry. He attempted to throw his drink at MGK after being escorted away.
