Jameson told PEOPLE in June 2023 that she still has full custody of her daughter, though Batel doesn’t currently live with her. While she said she couldn’t go into detail due to her legal battle, Jameson did say that “everything is fine, my children are great, there’s nothing wild happening. Everything’s falling in line and it’s a good thing.”

The former model also revealed that the reason she had been in relationships with men prior to her marriage to Lawless was because of her children.

“I try to go over in my mind why I ever dated or married men, and it’s selfish and bad to say, but I think my driving force were children,” the mom of three explained. “And now that I’ve really found myself, I’m just accepting of everything that I feel inside and don’t shove everything down.”

From their passions to their education, here’s everything there is to know about Jenna Jameson’s three kids: Jesse, Journey and Batel.

Jameson’s first children were born on March 16, 2009, in Newport Beach, California, two months before their due date of May 3. Jesse weighed in at 4 lbs. while Journey was 4 lbs., 11 oz. The former couple announced they were expecting in August 2008, with Jenna expressing her excitement after struggling with fertility.

“I can’t even express the extreme serenity that came over me once I saw my children inside me,” she said. “It has been my dream to have children for an extremely long time, and I truly feel like finally … the time is right and God has blessed me. I have never felt more like a woman, or more alive.”

The UFC fighter went on to add that his children were “As and Bs students” and were healthy.

“They’re smart, articulate, very well-mannered, respectful kids,” he said. “They don’t have cell phones, they don’t have iPads, they’re hardworking kids. I keep it old school.”

The twins were raised to be outgoing and outspoken, Ortiz noted, adding that they always introduce themselves when in a room of new people.

Jesse and Journey love playing sports andvideo games, even aspiring to follow in their dad’s athletic footsteps.

In 2018, Ortiz posted photos of his son’s first day of 4th grade, where the boys wrote on chalkboard signs what they hoped to be when they grew up. Journey wrote he aspired to be a “WWE Superstar,” while Jesse wanted to be a “pro baseball player.”

Ortiz raised the boys, alongside his older son from a previous relationship, with his wife Amber Nichole Miller. “I’m so proud to have these young men in my life and to see them grow and flourish. I’m so excited to watch them become men with their own families,” Millerwrote on Instagramof the twins.

Jamesonhad a health scarein 2022 that left her hospitalized with weakened muscles for a month. In June 2023, she shared with PEOPLE that the experience left her feeling isolated from her family.

“Being alone and separated from your children and all those kind of things really took its toll, and I think that my brain just went into shut down mode,” she said. “It was like, ‘I can’t deal with anything. I’m sick, I can’t see anybody I love.’ "

“I had a very long labor (12 hours) and pushed for an intense 22 minutes,” the mom of three continued. “We are head over heels in love with her. Welcome to the world little star, Mommy loves you.”

In a September 2018 Q&A on her Instagram Stories, Jameson shared thather daughter had not yet met her older brothers, though she was hoping this would change in the future. When someone asked if they had met, Jameson wrote, “Unfortunately not. That is important to me and I hope one day things get better and it’s possible … ”

She also answered a couple of questions on Batel’s schooling, sharing she was “seriously considering” homeschooling and “certainly” wouldn’t “let her be educated in California.”

“She won’t go to preschool until she is able to speak easily and convey her feelings to me,” she added.

Batelloves sea life, especially dolphins, Jameson shared on her Instagram, writing, “My mini me loves the sea life park and she speaks dolphin, swims like a dolphin, and she said she wants to help the workers rescue and take care of the fish, turtles and others. Can a 4 years old volunteer?”

However, according to her social media, Jameson stopped posting pictures of her daughter often and has since moved to Las Vegas. Thelast post of Batelon Jameson’s account was from August 2022 of a FaceTime screenshot between the mother and daughter, with the caption, “I miss you so much.”
