Early life and family

Jordan Masterson was born on 9 April 1986, in Dunedin, Florida USA, and so holds American nationality and his zodiac sign is Aries. Jordan’s parents, Carol Masterson, a talent manager, and Joe Reaiche, a Australian professional sportsman who is a former National Rugby League (NRL) player, were both attending the Church of Scientology when they met at the beginning of 1980s; Carol had three children from her previous relationship.

Jordan’s parents married in 1985, and gave birth to their joint children Jordan and Alanna. The couple divorced in 1995, when Jordan was only nine years old – all the kids, including Jordan’s half-brothers, Will, Danny and Christopher, stayed with their mother in New York, to where the whole family moved to develop their careers, as Carol managed all her children’s endeavors.

Separating from his father

The kids took Carol’s surname, according to the policy of the Scientological organization; none of Joe’s children communicate with him as he left the Church of Scientology, actually becoming an avid antagonist of it.

In his interview with Vanity Fair Hollywood of 2012 Joe called the Church of Scientology ‘a very deep and sordid abyss’ and claimed it took the family from him, as they all stopped communicating with him due to the so-called “Policy of Disconnection”, which prevents any relationship with antagonists of the Church. All his friends and kids stopped answering the phone, leaving Joe all alone. ‘I can’t hoodwink them. I can’t kidnap them and I can’t convince them because they’re brainwashed’, Joe shared in his interview in, when reflecting on what could be done to reunite with his children. As of 2020, Joe works in the health and insurance industry.

Jordan’s sister, actress and scientologist Alanna Masterson

Jordan’s younger sister, Alanna Masterson, was born on 27 June 1988. She spent a lot of time with her family, especially with her brother, Jordan, playing basketball and football together. Alanna landed her first role on TV in 1994, when she was only six years old, appearing as Colleen Carlton in long-running “The Young and the Restless” TV drama series. After several supporting roles and episodic appearances in various series, Alanna scored major roles in “First Day” (2010 – present) playing Abby, “Mistresses” (2013 – 2016) portraying Lydia, and in “Younger” as Kiara in 2018. However, Alanna’s biggest work has always been her role of Tara Chambler in the popular series “The Walking Dead”, in which she filmed from 2013 to 2019.

All in all, she’s appeared in 87 episodes of the show, and is still assigned to Season 11, which is planned to be released late in 2020.

Alanna is a devout Scientologist. She and her boyfriend Brick Stowell gave birth to their daughter Marlowe on 13 November 2015. She is very popular on social media platforms, thus her Instagram account has over 1.3 million subscribers.

Educational background

Little is known about Jordan’s educational background. According to the policy of Scientologists, ‘normal education was minimized because of Scientology’s belief in reincarnation—everyone was already millions of years old’, Maureen Orth, the writer for Vanity Fair Hollywood, describes the common way of living of Scientology families. So Jordan for sure skipped his college, pursuing his acting career.
