Two adult children — one public NFL media career and one deliberately bounded public record
Howard Schultz’s 2 Children: Jordan and Addison

Quick answer: Howard Schultz and his wife, Sheri Kersch Schultz, have two adult children: son Jordan Schultz and daughter Addison Schultz. Jordan is an NFL reporter who launched an independent YouTube operation in 2025. Addison has a lower public profile; the strongest recent institutional record reviewed by KidsCo lists her on the New York City LGBT Community Center’s board in its 2024 impact report.
Evidence date: Facts and ages checked 14 August 2026. Dated roles are not treated as permanent current jobs.
The simple family answer had become difficult to find because older profiles mixed Jordan with unrelated people and assigned Addison unverified employers and personal-contact directions. None of that belongs in a trustworthy family guide. Howard and Sheri are the parents; Jordan and Addison are their two children.
This page deliberately uses different levels of detail for the siblings. Jordan has chosen a public sports-media career and gave an extensive interview to The Washington Post in 2025. Addison’s recent public record is much narrower. Equal family status does not require equal biography length when the underlying evidence is unequal.
Exact birth dates for both children are not consistently established by the authoritative sources reviewed here. They are adults, but KidsCo does not manufacture exact ages from copied biography sites. Dates, jobs and affiliations are labelled by the evidence period so a 2024 board listing or a 2025 launch is not silently presented as a permanent 2026 status.
Howard Schultz’s children at a glance
| Child | Family branch | Age answer | Strongest current or dated public evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Schultz | Son of Howard and Sheri Schultz | Adult; exact birth date not reliably established in the reviewed sources | NFL reporter; launched his independent YouTube programming in August 2025 |
| Addison Schultz | Daughter of Howard and Sheri Schultz | Adult; exact birth date not reliably established in the reviewed sources | Listed as a New York City LGBT Community Center board member in its 2024 impact report |
Jordan is the elder sibling in the historical reporting reviewed by KidsCo. A 2001 Seattle profile described him as Howard’s 15-year-old son, while the 2025 Washington Post profile called him 39. Those snapshots establish that he is an adult; they do not establish a month-and-day birthday, so this guide does not invent one.
Addison is also an adult, but high-quality sources do not consistently publish an exact birth date. Readers therefore get the durable answer—her place in the two-child family—without false precision copied from anonymous people-profile databases.
Who are Jordan and Addison Schultz’s parents?
Howard Schultz and Sheri Kersch Schultz are the parents of both Jordan and Addison. Howard and Sheri married in 1982. Seattle reporting has described their family as a son, Jordan, and a daughter, Addison; a 1996 Seattle Times profile also recorded Howard and Sheri living with their two children.
Sheri is not a peripheral name in this family or in the couple’s public work. The Schultz Family Foundation identifies Howard and Sheri as co-founders and lists Sheri as co-founder and chair. Starbucks’ 2023 transition announcement likewise said Howard would turn his attention with Sheri to philanthropic and entrepreneurial investments.
That evidence resolves the identity problem directly. Jordan is not the son or stepson of the unrelated executives, technicians or entertainers who appeared in earlier copy. Addison is not a route to a contact database. The family tree has one parental branch: Howard and Sheri, with two adult children.
| Person | Relationship | Publicly established point | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Howard Schultz | Father | Starbucks modern-day founder and lifelong chairman emeritus | Not the current Starbucks chief executive |
| Sheri Kersch Schultz | Mother | Schultz Family Foundation co-founder and chair | Her public foundation role does not define either child’s career |
| Jordan Schultz | Son | Public NFL media career | Do not merge him with people who share a surname |
| Addison Schultz | Daughter | Dated nonprofit board record | No contact, employer or exact-age guesswork |

What does Jordan Schultz do now?
Jordan Schultz is an NFL reporter and media host. His career has included work with Yahoo, ESPN, theScore, Bleacher Report and Fox Sports. The useful current distinction is that Fox is a past stop, not his present employer.
The Washington Post reported in June 2025 that Fox had confirmed Jordan was no longer appearing on its air. Jordan said his one-year agreement was ending and that he was considering an independent operation. In August 2025, he launched his own YouTube channel with two recurring programmes: The Schultz Report and Why Is Draymond Green Talking About Football?
The official channel remains the best live source for the format Jordan is actually publishing. Because a channel can evolve, the accurate August 2026 wording is “NFL reporter and host of his independent channel,” rather than preserving an old network title or promising that a particular weekly schedule will never change.
Jordan’s reporting methods have also drawn public scrutiny. The Post profile examined his access to players, gifts and the boundary between relationship-led reporting and traditional newsroom practice. That is relevant context for readers asking why his name appears in NFL news, but it should not swallow a family guide or be converted into a verdict about his relatives.
| Period | Verified record | Accurate wording on 14 August 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Earlier career | Yahoo, ESPN, theScore and Bleacher Report among his media stops | Career history, not current employers |
| 2024–2025 | One season contributing at Fox Sports | Former Fox contributor |
| June 2025 | Fox confirms he is no longer on air | Do not call him a current Fox reporter |
| August 2025 | Independent YouTube channel and two programmes launch | Independent NFL reporter and host |
| August 2026 | Official channel remains the live publication surface reviewed | Current platform answer is tied to this check date |
What is publicly established about Addison Schultz?
Addison Schultz is Howard and Sheri Schultz’s daughter and keeps a lower public profile than Jordan. The strongest recent institutional evidence KidsCo located is the New York City LGBT Community Center’s 2024 impact report, which names Addison among its board of directors. The Center’s 2023 Form 990 also records an Addison Schultz as a board member.
The date is part of the answer. A 2024 report establishes board service for that reporting period; it does not automatically prove a current 2026 seat, a full-time job or a complete career history. KidsCo therefore describes this as a dated public-service record, not a permanent occupation.
Search results also contain scraped employer claims and pages offering personal email addresses or mobile numbers. Those services are not reliable evidence of family identity or a public-facing role, and personal-contact directions serve no legitimate reader question in a family guide. They have been excluded.
This is not an information gap to be filled with a weaker source. Readers can know that Addison is the couple’s adult daughter and that an established nonprofit publicly listed her on its board, while her exact age, present employment and personal life remain outside the verified record used here.
| Reader question | Supported answer | What KidsCo does not claim |
|---|---|---|
| Is Addison Howard Schultz’s daughter? | Yes; reporting identifies Howard and Sheri’s daughter as Addison | A different person matched by surname |
| What public role is documented? | NYC LGBT Community Center board listing for the 2023–2024 reporting period | That the seat or role is unchanged in 2026 |
| What is her current employer? | Not publicly established by the authoritative sources reviewed | Scraped job titles or résumé reconstruction |
| How can someone contact her? | KidsCo does not publish or direct readers to personal contact information | Email addresses, phone numbers or people-search pages |
Do Howard Schultz’s children work for Starbucks?
No reviewed current Starbucks source identifies Jordan or Addison as a Starbucks executive. Jordan has publicly described choosing sports media rather than the coffee business. Addison’s lower-profile public record does not establish a Starbucks role either.
This question is easy to muddle because Howard remains closely associated with the company. Starbucks’ official September 2023 announcement says he stepped down from the board after leaving the interim chief-executive role in March 2023. The company honours him as lifelong chairman emeritus—a historical and advisory title, not the sitting CEO position.
The Schultz Family Foundation is also separate from Starbucks. Its current team page names Howard and Sheri as co-founders and lists its staff. A foundation connection should not be assigned to either child without a direct current record, just as the family surname should not be treated as proof of a corporate job.
| Person | Verified role or record | Organisation | Do not convert it into |
|---|---|---|---|
| Howard Schultz | Lifelong chairman emeritus; off the board since September 2023 | Starbucks | Current CEO or director |
| Sheri Schultz | Co-founder and chair | Schultz Family Foundation | A Starbucks executive role |
| Jordan Schultz | Independent NFL reporter and host | The Schultz Report / official YouTube channel | A Starbucks management role |
| Addison Schultz | Board member in dated 2023–2024 records | NYC LGBT Community Center | A verified current Starbucks or foundation job |
What current Howard Schultz family profiles should correct
The first correction is identity. A profile must not splice the parents, stepparents or occupations of unrelated people into Jordan’s biography. Howard and Sheri are the parents of both children, and every claim should remain attached to that verified branch.
The second correction is time. Jordan’s Fox work ended in 2025 before his independent launch. Howard has not been Starbucks CEO since March 2023 or a director since September 2023. Addison’s nonprofit evidence is dated to 2023–2024 and should be labelled that way.
The third correction is proportionality. Jordan has an extensive self-chosen public career, while Addison has a narrow institutional trail. A strong guide explains that difference rather than padding Addison’s section with scraped data until the siblings appear artificially symmetrical.
| Weak or harmful shortcut | Reader-first correction | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Merged parents and stepparents | One verified Howard-and-Sheri branch | Basic identity accuracy |
| Jordan called a current Fox reporter | Independent NFL reporter since his 2025 launch | Current employment tense |
| Addison assigned scraped employers | Use the dated nonprofit board record only | Evidence quality |
| People-search contact directions | Publish no personal contact pathway | Privacy and reader relevance |
| Exact ages copied without primary dates | State adult status and explain the evidence limit | No false precision |
| Howard called current Starbucks CEO | Lifelong chairman emeritus; off the board | Company-role accuracy |
Howard and Sheri Schultz family timeline
| Date | Milestone | What it establishes |
