Jessica Chastain has three siblings, two sisters and one brother. Her mother worked as a vegan cook and was a middle-class earner. In this sense, the four siblings did not have the most fascinating childhood in terms of financing. Even more unfortunate is that Jessica’s sister resorted to drugs for several years before killing herself in 2003.
The actress attended EL Camino Fundamental High School in Sacramento but was not really a school person as she struggled with the school program. Although school seemed very hard for her, she found reading Shakespeare much more comforting than reading school books. She felt poorly integrated into the school environment and later had to obtain an adult diploma after missing graduation because she was constantly absent from school. Jessica Chastain went to Sacramento City College for one year from 1996 to 1997.

Soon after, she began taking television roles on shows such as Law & Order and many others. In 2008 she got the chance to appear in movies and immediately gained fame for her outstanding performances in taking Shelter and The Tree of Life.
This was the birth of the star that she is today. To this day she has a Golden Globe Award and several Oscar nominations, which she has earned. Apart from becoming award material that always makes the cut in award shows, Jessica has gone beyond stealing attention through acting and has opened her own production company. Her name is Freckle Films and she seems willing to explore this aspect as it should be.

Jessica is notoriously private and is always unwilling to reveal things about her private life or her family. Nevertheless, there are things she couldn’t keep completely out of the public eye and that is the fact that she caught butterflies for a man who is not in the film industry. His name is Gian Luca Passi and he is six years younger than she is. It is not clear when and where they first met, but the two began their relationship in 2012 and they maintained a long-distance relationship for a year before Gian decided to move to New York in 2013 to stay close to his special counterpart.
After several years of living in New York, Gian, who is a fashion mogul, decided to propose to Jessica in early 2017. In the middle of the year, the two married at Preposulos family home in Carbonara, Italy. The couple has a daughter by surrogacy, whom they welcomed in 2018.
If the name Gian sounds, it is because it comes from the famous old Italian noble family Passi de Preposulo, originally from Bergamo in Lombardy. His family produces their own Prosecco, elegantly called Prosecco di Villa Tiepolo Passi.
Beyond the wealth and fame of his family, Gian has also built a great profile for himself. He is an executive for Moncler, a French clothing company, and his presence in the high fashion industry has earned him high-profile friends such as Julie Roberts, Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, among others.
Gian has also followed in his family’s footsteps by creating his own premium prosecco brand called FIOL. The brand was created based on the introduction of a significant change in the culture around Prosecco and other sparkling white wines, so that Prosecco will be a beverage of choice for everyone, for all occasions.
