Ackles' Twins: A Knotty Name Story
1 Jun
Summary
- Jensen Ackles' twins were named after a knotty umbilical cord incident.
- Daughter Justice Jay inspired Jensen Ackles' Instagram account creation.
- The Ackles family embraces activism, supporting Pride and healthcare workers.

Jensen and Danneel Harris Ackles are parents to three children: Justice Jay, born May 30, 2013, and twins Zeppelin Bram and Arrow Rhodes, born December 2, 2016. Justice Jay, or JJ, was instrumental in her father's decision to join Instagram when she was just two years old.
Zeppelin's name has an unexpected origin; his umbilical cord was tied in a loose knot at birth. This event inspired Jensen to research knot names, eventually leading to 'Zeppelin,' referencing a knot used for tethering blimps.
The Ackles family, based in Austin, Texas, shares a commitment to activism. They have shown support for the LGBTQIA+ community during Pride month and posted messages of gratitude for healthcare and essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
