Jessica Pegula married Taylor Gahagen in 2021 after their wedding was pushed back by the COVID-19 pandemic, tying a long-running personal relationship to the latest chapter of her tennis career.
That is why readers are asking about Jessica Pegula husband now: Pegula is the No. 3 seed in the 2026 US Open, and the conversation around her life off the court has returned as her results keep her near the top of the sport. Gahagen works in finance and business, but he has also spent years alongside Pegula in ventures that run from business roles to charity work.
Gahagen is a managing partner for Agarwood Wealth and Dragos Capital. He graduated from the State University of New York at Fredonia with a degree in business administration and later earned a master's in business administration from Canisius University. He is also the president of A Lending Paw, a charity he started with Pegula that rescues dogs who need a second chance and supports the training of service dogs that transform human lives. He serves as vice president of Ready 24, while Pegula created that venture for people who live an active lifestyle.
The pair have been linked since 2015, when they first appeared in photos together online, and Gahagen began working for Pegula Sports and Entertainment in 2014. How they first met has never been made clear, and the timeline leaves one thing open: whether his job there came before or after their relationship began. What is clear is that the wedding came after a delay and that the marriage has now become part of the public frame around Pegula’s career, especially as she has spoken more openly about family planning.
Pegula has said she has definitely thought about starting a family with her husband, and that turning 30 made her more pressed about it because it could affect her career. She and Gahagen do not have any children. That leaves her balancing two kinds of unfinished business at once. She has reached the finals in 2024 and the semifinals of the US Open in 2025, but she has not yet won a Grand Slam title. Pegula said she thinks things will work out the way they are meant to, whether that means a slam, retirement, starting a family, or none of those milestones at all.
