William Jackson Harper Parents – Is He Related To Samuel Jackson?

No, William Jacksom Harper is not related to  Samuel  L. Jackson. The speculation about them being related is wrong, as the actors don’t share the same last name.

William Jackson Harper’s real name is William Fitzgerald Harper. He was born on February 8, 1980, in Dalla, Texas. He was raised in Garland, Texas.

William went to Lakeview Centennial High school. In 2003, he graduated from the College of Santa Fe.

Harper has difficulties in his early career days because of his name. His name was only somewhat suited for the entertainment business as it was too long.

Harper decided to go as “William Jackson Harper” when he registered for Actor’s Equity Association, as most of the variations of “William Harper” were already in use.

Later he thought of adding “Jackson” in the middle, his mother’s maiden name to honor her sacrifices and love for him.

In an interview, he said, “I’ve guess I’ve seen it on Twitter, like, someone tweeted at me, “Dude, just tell me. Are you related to Samuel L. Jackson?” And I just…I’m not even going to…I’m not dealing with this. That’s weird. But no, I am not at all related to Samuel L. Jackson…”

Fans started speculating and connected the two stars without realizing that their last name was different, and the confusion started.

However, he was rumored to be dating Ali Ahn, an actress. The pair shared many pictures together but have yet to have specific captions. So it’s hard to speculate if she is his girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, or just a friend.

It can also be speculated that they are dating in private and are in a long-term relationship. This is not as far-fetched as it seems, as they have been seen in public together.

William Jackson Harper Net Worth

According to Celebworth, William Harper’s net worth is Four Million Dollars. His acting, playwriting, and social media marketing add to his wealth.

He is 43 years old and still full of energy and goals in life.
