Jared’s mom is Cirie Fields.

Jared is the son of reality television royalty. His mom Cirie played Survivor four times and is regarded as one of the greatest players to never win. She competed on Survivor: Panama (2006), Survivor: Micronesia (2008), Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains (2010), and Survivor: Game Changers (2017).

In addition to Survivor, Cirie also appeared on the first season of Peacock’s The Traitors. She won the show and the $250,000 grand prize.

Jared plans to keep his mom’s identity a secret on Big Brother.

Jared confirmed before the game that he doesn’t plan to tell the other houseguests about his connection to Cirie.

“Imagine you hearing on a basketball court that you’re playing against LeBron’s son, you would think that he has the most game ever, and you want to take that chance.  I’m not taking a chance,” he said in an interview with Parade. “My mom is basically the Michael Jordan of Survivor. So there’s no way that I’m telling anyone in this game who she is.”
