The Next Dynasty: Meet All 10 Grandchildren Of Jerry Jones And Their Roles In The Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys are more than just a football team; they are a multi-billion dollar family empire, and the focus is now shifting to the third generation of the Jones family. As of late 2025, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, alongside his wife Gene, proudly boasts a massive family that includes three children, ten grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren, all of whom are poised to inherit and manage one of the most valuable sports franchises in the world. This article provides the most current and comprehensive look at the ten grandchildren, detailing their names, parents, and surprisingly hands-on roles within the "America's Team" organization, suggesting a clear succession plan is already in motion.
The transition of power in a family business as vast as the Cowboys—valued at over $10 billion—is a complex process, but the Jones family has ensured a seamless integration. Every one of Jerry’s three children holds an Executive Vice President position, and now, several of his grandchildren are actively working in key operational and football roles, indicating that the future of the franchise will remain firmly in the hands of the Jones bloodline. The depth of their involvement is a clear signal that the next generation is being groomed for the ultimate ownership and management roles.
The Jones Family Tree: A Complete Grandchildren Biography
Jerry Jones and his wife, Eugenia “Gene” Jones, have three children—Stephen Jones, Charlotte Jones Anderson, and Jerry Jones Jr.—all of whom are Executive Vice Presidents for the Dallas Cowboys. These three children have given Jerry and Gene a total of 10 grandchildren, who are now beginning to make their own marks both inside and outside of the Cowboys organization.
Here is a complete list of Jerry Jones’s 10 grandchildren, grouped by parent:
- Children of Stephen Jones (EVP/Chief Operating Officer) and Karen Jones (4):
- John Stephen Jones (Former college quarterback, continuing the family’s football legacy)
- Caroline Jones
- Jordan Jones
- Jessica Jones
- Children of Charlotte Jones Anderson (EVP/Chief Brand Officer) and Shy Anderson (3):
- Haley Anderson (Works with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders)
- Shy Anderson Jr. (Involved in Cowboys football operations)
- Paxton Anderson
- Children of Jerry Jones Jr. (EVP/Chief Sales & Marketing Officer) (3):
- Mary Jones
- James Jones
- Juliette Jones (Daughter from a previous relationship with Janine Turner)
The Third Generation: Grandchildren Taking Active Roles in the Cowboys
Unlike many sports dynasties where the third generation remains in the background, several of Jerry Jones’s grandchildren are already deeply embedded in the day-to-day operations of the Dallas Cowboys. Their roles are not merely ceremonial; they are strategic positions that place them on the path to becoming future leaders of the franchise. This hands-on approach is a hallmark of the Jones family's business philosophy, ensuring that the next generation is fully prepared to manage the complex ecosystem of "Jerry World" (AT&T Stadium and The Star).
Haley Anderson: The Cheerleader & Brand Ambassador
Haley Anderson, the daughter of Charlotte Jones Anderson, represents the fusion of the Cowboys’ brand and community outreach. She has taken on a significant role working with the world-famous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC). Haley has served as the DCC’s Special Project Officer and Social Projects Manager. Her work focuses on the branding, marketing, and philanthropic efforts that have made the DCC an international phenomenon. This role is a direct extension of her mother’s position as the Chief Brand Officer, solidifying the family's commitment to maintaining the team's iconic image and community presence. Haley’s involvement highlights the importance of the non-football aspects of the Cowboys' business empire.
Shy Anderson Jr. & John Stephen Jones: The Football Operations Pipeline
Perhaps the most telling signs of the Jones family's long-term succession plan come from the involvement of Shy Anderson Jr. and John Stephen Jones in the actual football side of the business. Shy Anderson Jr., Charlotte’s son, has been identified as a Recruiter for the Dallas Cowboys. Recruiting is a crucial, high-stakes function that involves identifying and securing talent for the team. Placing a young family member in such a core football operations role demonstrates a clear intent to groom him for future executive responsibilities, potentially mirroring his uncle, Stephen Jones, who oversees football operations.
John Stephen Jones, Stephen’s son, has followed the family's football legacy directly onto the field. He played quarterback for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks, the same school where his grandfather, Jerry Jones, was a co-captain on the 1964 national championship team. While his playing career may not have led to the NFL, his deep understanding of the game, combined with his family ties, makes him an invaluable asset for a future front-office role, likely focusing on personnel and player development. His presence maintains the family’s direct, personal connection to the sport itself.
The Billion-Dollar Succession: Who Will Inherit the Cowboys?
The question of who will ultimately succeed the 80+-year-old Jerry Jones as the principal owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys is a topic of constant speculation. While Jerry Jones has repeatedly stated the team will remain family-owned and that he has a robust succession plan, the involvement of the third generation makes the picture clearer.
The current hierarchy places his three children—Stephen, Charlotte, and Jerry Jr.—in the direct line of succession. Stephen Jones, as the Chief Operating Officer and Director of Player Personnel, is widely considered the most likely candidate to take over the top executive role, a position he has essentially been preparing for since the 1980s. Charlotte Jones Anderson is the face of the business and brand side, while Jerry Jones Jr. manages the massive revenue streams from sales and marketing.
However, the active roles of the grandchildren—Haley, Shy Jr., and John Stephen—suggest that the ultimate control will be shared among the children, with the grandchildren being positioned to take over their parents’ respective departments. This structure ensures that the ownership of the Cowboys, the crown jewel of the Jones family's wealth, remains intact and under the control of the family for decades to come, safeguarding the legacy of "America's Team."
The Enduring Jones Family Legacy and Topical Authority
The Jones family’s control extends far beyond the football field. Their business interests include the operation of AT&T Stadium (known as "Jerry World"), The Star in Frisco (the team's sprawling headquarters), and various real estate and energy investments. The grandchildren are being exposed to this vast business ecosystem from a young age, ensuring a holistic understanding of the enterprise. The recent welcoming of a great-grandchild, Parker Elouise Euginia (Charlotte’s grandchild), further extends the dynasty, confirming that the Jones family’s commitment to the Dallas Cowboys is a multi-generational endeavor that is constantly evolving and expanding.
The future of the Dallas Cowboys is a story about family, business, and football, and the ten grandchildren of Jerry Jones are the central characters in the next chapter of this iconic sports dynasty. Their increasing involvement is not just a curiosity; it is a strategic move to secure the team's future as a family-owned, multi-billion-dollar powerhouse.
