For over eight years, Jennifer Esposito has enjoyed a loving relationship with her husband, Jesper Vesterstrom. In March 2023, Vesterstrom honored their seven-year milestone with a heartfelt Instagram post that included a lovely photo of the couple. He wrote, “7 years baby @jesposito.
I love you more than anything and couldn’t be more proud of what you have created … [you’re] simply amazing, talented and we will celebrate it very soon❤️❤️ #anniversary #love #mywife.”
Esposito tends to keep her relationship with Vesterstrom low-key, seldom sharing photos or insights about their daily lives. Nevertheless, there’s a wealth of information to uncover about this Danish athlete.
Jesper Vesterstrom and his wife Jennifer Esposito
Born and raised in Copenhagen, Vesterstrom contrasts Esposito’s New York roots. The couple currently resides in East Hampton, New York.
Their wedding took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, a choice that reflected their desire for intimacy. Meeting in 2016, they tied the knot four years later in a private ceremony near their East Hampton home.
Esposito described the experience as “the best way to have a wedding” during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark in 2024. The ceremony had no guests and was not streamed for family and friends; it was just the two of them on the beach with a friend officiating.
Vesterstrom wore a wetsuit, having gone windsurfing afterward, while Esposito opted for a casual look with a maxi dress, denim jacket, and sneakers. She later shared photos of the special night on Instagram, including moments on the beach and by a fire pit.
An accomplished professional windsurfer, Vesterstrom has been engaged in the sport for many years. During her 2024 appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Esposito shared that windsurfing is an exhilarating activity, describing it as “going 50 mph and flipping.” She noted that he began windsurfing in Denmark and has traveled globally for the sport. “He was like the best in the world,” she remarked, adding that she has no intention of trying it herself.
Vesterstrom boasts impressive achievements, including being the Danish national champion in 2004, securing multiple Nordic Championships, and becoming a two-time US Windsurfing champion. In a biography on the PWA (Professional Windsurfers Association) World Tour’s website, he mentioned starting windsurfing at age 12, emphasizing the importance of perseverance in achieving long-term goals: “You can’t waste a single minute.”
In addition to his windsurfing career, Vesterstrom is also a certified fitness trainer and NLP coach. His training website, Move Equals Life, highlights his dedication to health and wellness over more than two decades, stating, “The result has been proven and suits every level of fitness.”
Vesterstrom is deeply motivated by his father’s memory, who passed away from ALS, a devastating neurological disease. He expressed on his website that his father inspired him to chase his dreams, urging him to pursue excellence in windsurfing.
The loss of his father profoundly impacted him, fueling his desire to raise awareness about ALS. He collaborates with Hope Loves Company, a nonprofit dedicated to providing educational and emotional support for children and young adults affected by a loved one’s ALS diagnosis.
Vesterstrom’s support for Esposito is evident, especially regarding her film Fresh Kills. In a 2024 interview with Avenue magazine, she revealed that she had to mortgage their house to fund the project, which she wrote, directed, and starred in.
“It was not an easy conversation,” she recalled, but she appreciated that her husband backed her completely. His Instagram reflects his admiration for Esposito, as he frequently posts about her work, particularly encouraging followers to watch Fresh Kills.
A dog lover at heart, Vesterstrom often shares glimpses of his life with Esposito and their two dogs on Instagram. He posts various pictures, including one where he cuddles with the dogs in bed and another featuring his dog Gus enjoying a windsurfing adventure.
