Early life and education

Jennifer was raised an only child by her father William Patrick Lahmers and her mother Cathy Lahmers Scolari in Dover– her mother was a housewife who loved to read and write books, while her father worked in a restaurant; he had opened a small coffee shop but had to close it one year after as the business was not going well. It wasn’t an easy life for Jennifer as she and her family didn’t have much money – Jennifer was in love with journalism from an early age, and she used to tape fake interviews just for fun. After matriculating from high school, she attended Ohio University, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in journalism.

Career

As soon as she was done with university, she began by taking every job she was offered – she worked at a couple of places as an anchor, and did reporting jobs for weekend news. Some of the channels which she worked for include Back9Network and Fox CT while she was also working as a humor columnist for “The Hartford Courant” and “Hartford Magazine”. In 2006, she began working as a news reporter and an anchor for WBBJ-TV, then in mid-2007 she began working for Fox CT, where she stayed for the next five years before going back to Back9Network as a news host, while she was also their Director of Ambassador Relations for two and a half years. Jennifer is currently working as a news reporter and a host of Fox 5 Special: Studio 5 at Fox 5 WNYW in New York City. She’s reported many exciting and important stories during her career, including the big drug bust with the DEA which happened in Jackson – she was a team-of-one reporter on this one.

Typical day

During an interview with Asphalt Green, Jennifer described her typical day at work like this: she comes to the Fox 5 office where she has an editorial meeting – the assignment desk pitches ideas and they all work together as a team in order to brainstorm stories. She would then go with her photographer, arrange interviews and gather information she needs, she’d come back to the studio, put the story together and get set to air. She claims how she loves telling people’s stories as it’s her adrenaline rush. She admitted during this interview that she is currently writing a book, but isn’t sure if she is going to want to publish it.

Personal life and likes

Jennifer is very secretive about her personal life, and tries her best to stay away from rumors and controversies – she has married once, to James Bosworth, the former CEO of Back9Network, from 2 July 2011 to 2013, and their wedding ceremony was highly publicized. The couple drew much attention and were considered to be the couple one should look up to, and that’s why their divorce was a big surprise for everyone. After her divorce, Jennifer was rumored to be going out with Fox News personality named Michael Craig, but she neither confirmed nor denied this. She now seems to have been dating Dr. Mike Varshavski since 2016, often posting pictures of them together on her social media accounts, and wished him a happy birthday on 12 November 2017 with a caption that her life has been blessed as he puts a smile on her face every day.

She has a dog named Bear Bear and he has his own Instagram account with her boyfriend’s last name – Bear Varshavski. Jennifer does yoga, running, loves to watch basketball and play baseball and volleyball, although she is not good at sports – she loves to eat chicken pad Thai and pizza, and her favorite color is purple.

Quotes

‘I’m most looking forward to meeting the kids and people who are just as excited about youth sports as I am now. My biggest regret is I never played sports growing up. It teaches you a lot; you learn how to give credit to other people, build confidence, and how to handle criticism. If I could go back and do one thing, I would play a sport.’

‘My mom and dad are an absolute blessing in my life. They are my biggest fans, my strongest supporters, and my fiercest allies. They worked extremely hard to get me through college, and after that, the most trying times in my adult life. They’ve kept me grounded while giving me confidence to follow my dreams.’
