In Dallas, Jonathan's mother pursued a master's degree in divinity, eventually becoming a pastor. Thanks to his mom, spirituality is a big part of Jonathan's life, and though he's never considered becoming a pastor himself, the lessons his mom taught him have stuck with him. "That type of service and work ethic and scholarship is something I adopted and made my own," Jonathan told Elle in August 2020, referring to his mom's hard work. "I'm not a pastor. I'm not a man of the cloth, but I have my own calling."
