Jane Wenner has six children—three from each of his two wives—after being married twice.

His first union with Jane Schindelheim produced three sons: Edward Augustus, Theodore “Theo” Simon, and Alexander Jann. However, Noah and his twins, Jude and India Rose, are the offspring of his second marriage to fashion designer Matt Nye.

The takeover of RollingStone.com by Gus Wenner, aka Edward Augustus, Wenner’s 22-year-old son, has primarily elicited two reactions: anger and snark.

The recent Brown University alumnus was largely known before Monday for his collaborations with Scout Willis in a country band.

He has only been working for the magazine’s website for a short time. But after a memo from the co-founder and publisher of Rolling Stone was made public on Gawker, everything changed. In the note,

Jann Wenner Ex Wife: Who Is She?

Where Jane Schindelheim is right now is a mystery to us. With her family, she must be enjoying life to the fullest. In 1967, Jane Schindelheim wed Jann in a Jewish ceremony.

Rumor has it that Jann received a loan from Jane’s family to start Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone has established in the late 1960s thanks to financial support from Jane’s dentist father.

She ultimately joined him in business, and today she serves as vice president of Wenner Media. They broke up in 1995 after Jann confessed to her that he had fallen in love.

The couple had been married for more than 20 years at the time. According to People, Jane apparently told seasoned journalist Joe Hagan that her husband’s admission was “mean.”

According to rumors, Jane found out that Jann was having an affair before they were even married, but when she confronted him, he allegedly promised to stop.

Hagan asserts that Jane and Jann were only pulled together because they both shared a desire for “power, pleasure, and style” because they were free to have other lovers when they started their relationship. Jane remained his wife for another 16 years.

At the time of the deal, Jann owned at least five additional properties, including a ranch in Sun Valley, Idaho, a ski condo there, a 9,030-square-foot brownstone in Manhattan, and a 6,540-square-foot townhouse there.

When Rolling Stone covered the emergence of punk music slowly in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and again in the 1990s when it trailed behind Spin and Blender in covering hip hop, the magazine’s circulation briefly declined.

Wenner employed Ed Needham, a former FHM editor, to rejuvenate his flagship journal; Will Dana later took over for him. Rolling Stone had a circulation of 1.5 million copies sold every two weeks by the year 2006.

In May 2006, Rolling Stone published its 1000th issue with a holographic, 3-D cover that was modeled after The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover.
