About Jordan Emanuel
Jordan Emanuel was born on April 17, 1992, in Baltimore, Maryland, and raised in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. Of African-American descent, she grew up in a supportive family with parents Paula Birdsong Emanuel and Laurence “David” Emanuel. The loss of her mother in June 2009 at age 17 profoundly shaped her perspective on valuing loved ones. She attended Far Hills Country Day School and The Hun School of Princeton from 2006 to 2010, later earning a Bachelor of Science from the University of Miami in 2014, triple majoring in Broadcast Journalism, Music Business, and Art History. Her early interests included storytelling and advocacy, which influenced her multifaceted career.
Emanuel began modeling on a whim, posting “25 Days of Jordan” on social media for her 25th birthday, which caught Playboy’s attention. She worked as a Bunny at the Playboy Club New York from its 2018 opening and was named Playmate of the Month for December 2018. In 2019, she became Playmate of the Year, the second Black woman to achieve this after Ida Ljungqvist (2009) and the last before Playboy discontinued nude pictorials. Her Playboy work includes non-nude photosets like those on Playboy Plus, featured in Playboy magazine and online platforms like BabesRater, though some fans criticized the lack of nudity (e.g., a Babepedia comment called her a “pseudo-Playmate”). She also appeared in a 2019 Playboy Germany pictorial. No specific Playboy TV or video roles are documented.
Beyond Playboy, Emanuel is a journalist, model, DJ, and reality TV star. She has contributed to Hollywood Life, Bossip, The New York Times, Glamour, and MadameNoire, and modeled for CoverGirl, Rimmel London, and American Express. As an open-format DJ, she has performed at high-profile events like the 2024 Preakness Festival, NYFW, and NBA All-Star Weekend, sharing stages with Saweetie and Diplo. She stars in Bravo’s Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard (Season 1, 2021; Season 2, 2024) and Winter House (Season 3, 2023), gaining fan favor for her authenticity. She co-founded Women With Voices, a Brooklyn-based 501(c)(3) non-profit focused on mental health awareness and sexual education/liberation, driven by her own experiences with depression, anxiety, and alopecia, diagnosed in 2018.
Emanuel is active on social media, with 107,000 Instagram followers (@jordyemanuel), 2,600 on X, and a LinkedIn profile highlighting her professional ventures. She co-hosts Way Up with Angela Yee and Lip Service podcasts, sharing content on modeling, DJing, and advocacy.

She engages fans via DMs, emphasizing empowerment and her alopecia journey, often using wigs due to hair loss during her Playmate shoots.
Standing at 5’8” (173 cm), Emanuel weighs around 125–130 lbs (57–59 kg) with measurements of 34B-25-35.
