Jamal Roberts captured hearts across the country as the winner of American Idol Season 23.
With his powerhouse vocals, inspiring backstory, and deep love for his family, the singer quickly became a fan favorite. Roberts credits his children as his greatest inspiration. “It was really the kids, (who are) just my inspiration,” he told USA Today. “So, even if I could go back every now and then, just show up and be a part of something, I plan to do that.”

Jamal is from Meridian, Mississippi. Before his rise to fame on American Idol, he worked as a physical education teacher at Crestwood Elementary School in his hometown.
Jamal has kept his relationship status largely private, and it remains unclear whether he is married. He has chosen to keep that part of his personal life out of the spotlight.
Jamal is a proud father of three daughters: Harmoni, Lyrik, and Gianna Grace, who was born during his time on American Idol, just days before his Top 8 performance on American Idol. His two older daughters, 6-year-old Harmoni and 4-year-old Lyrik, were regulars throughout the show, supporting their father every step of the way.
