# Early Life

## Childhood

Jude Jacob was born on November 17, 1417, to Colleen Jacob and Donald Jacob. Jude's birth certificate reveals he was born at St. Abigail's Hospital located at 16752 N Kling St., San Diego, CA, 92109. He is the younger brother of Kallie.

### Parents’ Death and Fostercare

When Kallie was ten and Jude was six, their mother passed away in a car accident that their father's drunk driving was responsible for. Consequently, their father went to prison for manslaughter since he had also killed other people. As a result of having no relatives to care for them, Kallie and Jude were placed into the foster care system for six years. Their time in the system is implied to be rough and abusive. After they entered the foster care system, Kallie took Jude under her wing and became completely focused on protecting him, becoming somewhat of a parental figure to him.

Despite often moving house to house while in foster care, which proved to be hard on him and his sister, Jude is a rather quiet and often peaceful child. While usually not being in a particular foster home for long, even becoming accustomed to this pattern, he always enjoyed the good homes he sometimes did get to live in. Kallie, however, would often encourage him not to get too attached to the good homes. He has been to seven different schools by the seventh grade as a result of moving around so much in the foster system.

While it has been stated that Jude has been abused by at least one foster parent, which Kallie described as "getting the crap beaten out of him", he hasn't let such treatment hinder him and is always a pleasant person.

After being taken in by the Adams-Foster family, Jude finally finds his "forever home", and is eventually adopted even though Kallie had trouble getting adopted herself. Lena's nickname for him is "Bubba". His adoptive sister, Mariana's, nickname for him is "Judicorn". Jude uses this nickname as his XBOX username.

# Mid Life

## Friends

Connor Stevens - Connor and Jude are former classmates, best friends, and ex-boyfriends. The two met in math class and occasionally talk while in class. For most of the series, Connor is Jude's only real friend in school. Connor and Jude's relationship grows from friendship to romance when it is told that they did something "wrong" while in their tent on a school camping trip - which is later revealed to have been a kiss. Their relationship faces a stump when Connor gets a girlfriend in order to please his father. Despite this, he begins to flirt with Jude before Jude finally demands to know where their relationship stands, resulting in Connor kissing him again. Following Connor finally coming out to his dad and being banned from seeing Jude because he came out, Connor and Jude are finally reunited. It is later said that Jude and Connor are officially dating. Jude says that they were the only guys in their grade who were gay, and vocalizes that he believes this is the reason for them getting together. Connor quickly says that they were friends first, and Jude tells him that he doesn't feel like Connor is his friend anymore, because of his signing up for football and other things, which prevent him from coming to see him on weekends due to games. Connor then sadly asks Jude if he wants to break up, but Jude doesn't answer. Years later, the two are unexpectedly reunited and clearly still have a romantic spark. After reconciling over their past mistakes, Jude and Connor kiss in front of a heartbroken Carter. However, Jude breaks the kiss because of his relationship with Carter and the two agree to remain friends and that they will always be each other's first love. Jude calls their kiss "the goodbye kiss we never had."

## Family

Kallie Jacob - Jude is Kallie's younger half-brother as they share the same mother but a different father. They share a strong bond with each other, having had to rely heavily on each other during their six-year time period in the foster system. Kallie often acted as a mother toward Jude, something that occasionally annoyed him following their arrival at the Adams Foster House. Their relationship faltered a few times, however, they ultimately remained extremely close. Kallie was openly supportive of Jude's sexuality and liked almost all of his boyfriends, while Jude was supportive of her relationships - except for her one with Brandon Foster, their fost brother. Jude was adopted into the Adams Foster Family before Kallie due to complications with her biological father, which upset Jude. When Kallie was finally adopted, he was thrilled and they were able to live together once more. They drifted apart during college, and due to Jude's emotional state and it being more of a challenge for her, Kallie took a job offer in Los Angeles to be closer to him.
