Jill Ralke is living out every girl’s dream in Los Angeles, California. As Patti Stanger’s assistant on the eponymous CW series, 29-year-old Ralke makes sure everything runs smoothly. Of course, there’s more to this California girl than just her cool job. Learn more about her below with these facts.
Who is Jill Ralke?
1) Jill currently calls Los Angeles, CA home. But, she actually attended college at Iowa State University. While there, she studied event management. Prior to that, she attended Santa Barbara City College and Moorpark Community College, according to her LinkedIn.
2) Ralke’s worked in promotions, media and marketing. Currently, she is a social media manager and personal assistant. Her personal assistant job, as mentioned above, is with Patti Stanger, the famous matchmaker. Jill’s even featured on Patti’s show.
3) Something pretty amazing about Jill is that she is a kidney transplant recipient and survivor. She received her new kidney on April 29, 2022 from another young woman named Jordan. This year marks two years with her new kidney, which they named Louise, as Jill said in an Instagram post.
4) Another cool thing that’s happened to Jill is that she’s been on the news for being a major Swiftie (fan of Taylor Swift). Taylor Swift herself even replied to a Tumblr post of Ralke’s back in 2015, according to BuzzFeed. Jill said how she was going to the Grammy’s, and Swift replied, wanting to meet one of her biggest fans. Then, Jill got to go backstage and meet Taylor in person – and of course take some selfies.
Bonus fact: Four years later in an Instagram post, she wrote: “‘Hey Taylor, do you remember me from the Grammys?’ (Looks at me like I’m an idiot) ‘OF COURSE’ Im dead.”
5) Other celebrities Ralke’s gotten a chance to meet include: Hannah Brown, Andy Grammar, Joe Jonas, Chord Overstreet, Nick Jonas and Tori Kelly.
Bonus fact: She’s a Leo. With her birthday being August 22, she’s right on the cusp of Leo and Virgo (Leo ends the 22nd). Since both signs are ambitious and loyal, it fits her personality perfectly.
6) Even though she’s usually blonde, Jill’s gone brunette before too! In 2020, she posted this selfie, asking: “brunettes have more fun? shoutout to @mylifethehairshow for this she’s amazing!!!”
Be sure to follow Jill Ralke on Instagram to keep up with her day-to-day life. You can see her on Patti Stanger: The Matchmaker, airing Thursdays at 8/7c on the CW.
