Jennifer Nicole Cortese

Genevieve Padalecki is the wife of Supernatural star Jared Padalecki, an exemplary mother and just a happy woman. Having built an acting career, now the American enjoys relaxing with her family and does not plan to return to the set yet, preferring a mobile phone and her own vlog to massive cameras.

The biography of Genevieve Padalecki (born Jennifer Nicole Cortese) begins on January 8, 1981 in San Francisco, California. She is the eldest child in the family, growing up surrounded by her sister Sarah, brothers John and Ben. She inherited Italian and Flemish roots from her father, and French from her mother.

Many facts about Genevieve's early life are known through the video “10 Things You Didn't Know About Me” on nowandgen's personal YouTube channel. So, the actress said that at the age of 7, having seen Arnold Schwarzenegger in the comedy "Kindergarten Policeman", she was so amazed by the actor that she even wrote him a letter - the first and only one addressed to a celebrity. It remained unanswered.

The girl changed three schools. When she was 13, the Cortese family moved to Whitefish, Montana, then to Sun Valley, Idaho. Jennifer received her high school diploma from a private school in California.

From early childhood, Jennifer's idol was Mia Hamm - a football player who has overcome all conceivable women's and men's records. Now, having mastered the career of an actress, Genevieve dreams of following in the footsteps of her favorite and becoming a professional American football player.

However, then, in the early 2000s, Jennifer's grandmother forced her to make a choice in favor of creativity. The girl entered the Tisch School of the Arts in New York, received a bachelor's degree in English, then a bachelor of fine arts in drama. In parallel, she attended Stella Adler's acting courses.

Before filming the films, Genevieve - at the age of 21 she gave her native name a more exotic shade - tried herself on the stage. The young talent appeared in episodic roles in A Midsummer Night's Dream based on the comedy by William Shakespeare, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest based on the novel by Ken Kesey, Crimes of the Heart and in the musical Joseph and His Amazing Multicolored Dreamcoat.

The girl first appeared on the screen in 2004 in the thriller Hostages of the Desert. The film tells the story of four bikers who, tired after a party, decide to spend the night in a sandy quarry. In the middle of the night, they discover that the place for the halt has not been chosen well - the thugs, who have just received a new batch of stolen weapons, are just looking for a living target in the desert. The heroine Genevieve, Amber is the girl of one of the bikers.

The next project of the actress is the TV series "The Dead Zone" based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King. Cortese appeared in the episode Still Life. She played Chloe Grieg (real name Laura Tierney), the muse of the reclusive artist who, after a long break, releases her portrait. The girl is like two drops of water like the dead daughter of the master of the pen. In the course of the series, many secrets are revealed - from the relationship of the artist and his muse to the true cause of the tragic death of his daughter.

Genevieve appeared in American Kids (2005), which follows teenagers who oppose discrimination by school officials. The plot plays up such eternal themes as freedom of speech, infringement of the rights of sexual minorities. The actress played one of the protesting schoolgirls, a cheerleader.

In the same year, ABC Family launched the series Wild Fire, which brought Genevieve Cortese the long-awaited popularity of the TV star. The actress played the main role. Her character Christine Furillo-Davis is a teenager who ends up in a penal colony for stealing a car.

The girl goes free with a firm desire to start life from scratch. She gets a job at a ranch as a jockey, where she meets new, unusual people for herself. The series aired from 2005 to 2008, 4 seasons were filmed. To cope with the role of a girl jockey, Genevieve took horse riding lessons. The Wild Fire did not open the doors to Hollywood for Cortese.

In subsequent years, the girl appeared in a number of minor projects - "Brilliant Ideas" (2006) and "Salted Nuts" (2007). The ray of fame turned to the American in 2008, when she starred in the TV series "Supernatural" as the demon Ruby.

The main characters, Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam Winchesters (Jared Padalecki), evil hunters, first meet Ruby in Season 3 (then the demon was played by Katie Cassidy). The girl repeatedly helps the brothers to get out of trouble: she kills the Seven Deadly Sins in the episode "The Magnificent Seven", promises to save Dean from life in Hell, removes the witch's corruption from them. All in order to gain confidence in the Winchesters and, with their help, open Lucifer's cage.

Genevieve Cortese first appeared in demon form in the episode "The Resurrection of Lazarus". After Dean's death, a romantic relationship is established between Ruby and Sam, evil spirits help his younger brother to overcome the feeling of loss. Despite love, Ruby continues to pursue her goal. In "Rise of Lucifer" the demon finally gets his way: men, unwillingly, open the Devil's cage. The loyal brothers kill Ruby. Genevieve herself wished the heroine's death - she felt that the image had exhausted itself.

In the 6th season, Cortese briefly returned to the series, but in a cameo, as the wife of Jared Padalecki. In the episode "French Mistake" Dean and Sam find themselves in a parallel universe, where they are the actors of the TV series "Supernatural". Subsequently, it turns out that one of their enemies, Ruby, is also Sam's wife.

In 2012, the actress starred in the film Hated, about a punk band. Since then, Genevieve forgot about her film career, completely focusing on her husband and raising children.

Jared and Genevieve met in 2007 on the set of Supernatural. A sympathy arose between the actors, which gradually grew into a novel. At first, Cortese asked her future husband not to advertise their relationship, so that in the event of a separation, no one on the set would turn the series into their personal drama.

The relationship turned out to be happy. In October 2009, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, at the jointly beloved painting "Joan of Arc" by Jules Bastien-Lepage, Jared knelt in front of his beloved and proposed to her. The couple officially announced their intention to get married in January 2010.

The wedding took place on February 27, 2010 in Sun Valley, Idaho. Photos from the celebration are associated with the cartoon "Beauty and the Beast". Due to his tall height (193 cm), Jared received the nickname Elk, and next to him Genevieve (163 cm tall and weighing 47 kg) looked like a princess in a fluffy dress.

2012 added worries to the personal life of the Padalecki spouses: on March 19, the first-born Thomas Colton was born. On December 22, 2013, Genevieve gave birth to her husband's second child, Austin Shepard. On March 17, 2017, the "men's company" was diluted by daughter Odette Elliot.

Now the American is focused on the family: she brings up three kids, supports a talented spouse, and in her free time she keeps a vlog on YouTube. On June 29, 2018, the channel celebrated its first anniversary. In the video, Genevieve gives life hacks for busy women, teaches yoga and fitness courses, and advises books.

The actress also shares the news on social networks: on Twitter, she distributes holiday recipes, and on Instagram, she shows off a toned figure in a swimsuit. Most often, a strong family becomes the hero of publications.
