All About Tennis Star Jessica Pegula’s Husband

Jessica Pegula is a force to be reckoned with on the tennis court, and as the No. 3 seed in the 2026 US Open, there are a lot of eyes on her at the moment.

While Pegula made it to the Semifinals of the US Open in 2025 and the Finals in 2024, the win has alluded her. In fact, she has yet to win a Grand Slam title in the sport, so she's hungrier than ever to take it home on her home turf this year.

Amid her impressive tennis career, Pegula has had the support of husband Taylor Gahagen, whom she married in 2021 after postponing the wedding amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Scroll down for more about Gahagen and their relationship.

Gahagen is also the president of A Lending Paw, a charity he started with Pegula.

She added, "I think it'll work out the way that it works out. Whether that's me winning a slam, whether I don't win a slam, whether that's when I retire or decide to start a family, or none of those things. Whatever happens happens."
