It’s hard to think of James Ingram, without reminiscing about at least one of his timeless classics. Whether we’re taking about his slow joints, like “Just Once,” or one of his more uptempo jams, like “Yah Mo B There” with Michael McDonald- they ALL bring back great memories. They also remind us of the days when REAL R&B still existed, as opposed to some of this hot garbage being labeled as R&B…or hell, being labeled as music at all in today’s times…but I digress.
Anywho, moving on to James Ingram and his fam.’ The R&B/gospel crooner has been married to his wife, Debbie, for 43 years and they’re still happy and crazy in love. Ain’t that beautiful?!! James is the son of a deacon and 1 of 6 children. So it’s no surprise that he and Debbie mimicked his parents, by having 6 kids of their own. Like Debbie, their kids pretty much enjoy life away from the spotlight. So it’s rare that they’re ever scene, or recognized as the children of a legend in public. HOWEVER, y’all already know it was only a matter of time before we did a lil’ seek and search on the Ingram offspring…I mean, we are, in fact, self proclaimed truth gold diggers, diggin for the truth at all times. So, lo and behold we found them…or at least MOST of them. Check out the Ingram fam’ below…
Meet The Ingram Kids
Out of the Ingrams’ 6 kids, we can introduce y’all to five of them: Jasmine, Jash, Jahnee, Jiaya, and Jason Ingram. As y’all can pretty much tell, Debbie and James wanted to keep that ‘J. Ingram’ stamp strong – even for their daughters…gotta love it.
Jahnee Ingram
Jahnee is all about her family and is the proud mother of her 10 month old son, Kenzo. She’s focused on leading her child by example of how to help others who are less fortunate than she was growing up as the daughter of a legend. In a recent online post, she shard a photo of herself, her husband Castavius, and their son, after a long day of feeding homeless citizens outside of Faith Tabernacle Church in West Los Angeles, where she and her family reside.
She also paid homage to her pops, with the below caption and throwback photo (above) of them:
Jahnee Ingram: “Happy Father’s Day to the G.O.A.T. I Love you Dad!”
Jiaya Ingram
Jiaya is a self proclaimed “Black Womanist, Intersectional Feminist with Sex-Positive Steelo, Vocal and Visual Artist.” She, too, enjoys paying homage to their dad online.
For his birthday in February 2018, she shared a throwback photo of herself chillin’ with her dad in 1992, with a caption that read:
“Happy birthday to the best dad in the world and happy 44th anniversary to the best couple in the world. Strongest people I know🙌🏾”
Jasmin Ingram-Thomas
Jasmin is happily married and raising her beautiful daughter, Naeveah…

Jash Ingram
Now, here’s where it gets a little elusive. Jash is following in his dad’s musical footsteps, as a producer and musician. He’s also produced music for Debbie Allen’s son, Thump Nixon. There are no recent photos of him.
Jason Ingram
Jason is even more elusive than Jash. Not a doggone thing is known about him, but unlike his brother, Jash, at least a current photo does exist of him.
As for the the sixth Ingram kid, your guess is as good as our’s.
And there ya have it ILOSM family!
