Early life
Johnson was born in Evanston, Illinois, the son of Ken Weinberger, who owned a car dealership, and Eve Johnson, an artist who made stained glass windows. He was named after his maternal uncle, Mark Johnson, who died in a motorcycle crash in 1977, a year before Jake was born. Jake's father comes from an Ashkenazi Jewish family, while his mother's roots are English, Irish, and Polish Catholic. Johnson attended New Trier High School in Winnetka. His parents divorced when he was two years old, and his older siblings, brother Dan, and sister Rachel were raised by his single mother. During high school, Johnson took his mother's last name. Since he was 17, his father resurfaced, and now they are close.
