When did JJ Spaun meet Melody Spaun?

JJ Spaun met his wife in 2013 through mutual friends in Orange County, California. Melody is seen cheering her husband in golf tournaments now. However, her knowledge of the game was very low when they first met.

When reflecting on the memory, JJ Spaun told Golf.com, “I was like, yeah, I’m a pro golfer. Because I thought I was cool. But she’s like, ‘I don’t even know. What does that mean? Like, does that mean you’re, like, rich or something?’ I was like, no. And she’s like, I don’t really care. And I was like, all right.”

In fact, the pro golfer took Melody mini-golfing on their first date because he thought it was cool. But to his surprise, Melody had a harsh comment, saying it was ‘lame.’ Despite the awkward first date, the two kept seeing each other and eventually got married in 2019.

What is JJ Spaun and Melody Spaun’s relationship timeline?

JJ Spaun took Melody to a mini-golfing game on their first encounter, and now it was her time to pay back the favor. It was not golf, though, but a baseball game. Melody took JJ Spaun to a Los Angeles Dodgers game in 2015. It was part of JJ’s birthday outing surprise.

Melody was then spotted watching JJ’s Northern Trust Open game in 2016. During an interview at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in 2023, JJ said that she was a little intimidated by the game. To this, the two-time PGA Tour winner said, “This is the life you’re going to live, get used to it.”

Their next public appearance was in January 2019, when they announced their engagement. JJ shared an Instagram post captioned, “Of all the places I’ve been… the only place I want to be is with you. ♥️,” to make it public. The romantic gesture was the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.

He then uploaded another post on Valentine’s Day. He called her his laundrywoman, barista, travel agent, #1 supporter, and fiancée. Soon after, the two got married in July 2019 at a romantic beachfront ceremony. She was wearing a gemstone gown, while JJ had a blue suit on.

Since their marriage, Melody Spaun has been seen cheering her husband in many tournaments. She was also there at the 2025 US Open, when JJ won his second PGA Tour.

What does Melody Spaun do for a living?

There’s no information publicly available about Melody Spaun’s professional life. However, she has had a significant influence on JJ’s career. In fact, she instituted a five-hour rule for him. This rule has helped him balance professional and personal life.

Being a professional golfer comes with an intense schedule, and it’s easy to get caught up in the grind. But Melody wasn’t about to let that happen. Before the 2023 PGA Tour season, Spaun revealed how his wife helped him strike a balance between work and downtime. “I have a two-year-old and a wife, yeah, so beach and just being a dad, having fun, Mai Tais, chilling at the beach. I was only allowed five hours a day by my wife. But it was good. Maybe I should stick to it … because sometimes I can get like stuck out here for a long time,” JJ Spaun said in an interview.

And if that wasn’t enough proof of Melody’s no-nonsense approach, he added: “I’m like maybe [I’ll need] five hours, if I know my game is like really good. Which, I felt confident where I didn’t need to be searching or grinding on too much stuff. It’s going to be hard. She said: ‘Well, yeah, if you start missing some cuts we can adjust, we can add a couple hours there.’ These are the conversations I have. I’m not even joking. I mean, this is how, our marriage … we don’t, you know, it doesn’t get too sideways. Happy wife, happy life.”

The firstborn and mother, Melody, share their birth month. And to top that off, there’s only a three-day difference in the date.

Their second daughter, Violet Windsor Spaun, was born in 2023. This was just days before he played in the Travelers Championship.

They had to make an important decision when Violet was about to be born. “She (Melody) was the one who said, ‘If the baby comes Monday, would you consider going? I would allow you to go, but I kind of don’t want you to go, but if you can make it worth your while there, then I’m OK with you going.'”

This was the decision about whether to play the Travelers Championship. “We decided Tuesday morning. We waited to see if the tests were all good, and they would be discharged within 24 hours. If I would have stayed Tuesday night too (at the hospital), no way I would have even tried to come.”

Who are Melody Spaun’s parents?

JJ Spaun’s parents are well-documented. His mother, Dollie Spaun, is of Mexican and Filipino descent. His father, John Spaun, was a hospital administrator.

However, the same can’t be said about Melody Spaun’s own parents. There’s no public information available about them.
