Gordon was introduced to Ingrid Vandebosch by a mutual friend in 2002, but they didn't begin dating until 2004.[10] Jeff announced their engagement on June 24, 2006, at a croquet event at Meadowood Resort in St. Helena, California. According to Gordon, they had kept the engagement secret for the past 30 days.[11] Gordon and Vandebosch were married in a small, private ceremony in Mexico on Nov. 7, 2006. On June 20, 2007, Vandebosch gave birth to their first child, Ella Sofia Gordon in New York City. [12][13]

The next year Gordon won 35 main events en route to the Western States Championship. In 1979 he won his first Grand National Championship. Gordon's domination of Midgets -- in 1980 he took the fastest time award in all 50 events he in which he competed, winning 46 races -- nearly drove him out of the sport. The California native was becoming interested in waterskiing before he grandfather intervened.
