Their love story: How did Justin meet his wife?
The story of how the popular golfer and his wife, Jillian Wisniewski met, is also interesting. The two got married in November 2022 and were previously engaged for 12 months. Wisniewski and Thomas were in a relationship for five years before they confirmed their engagement. His wife studied journalism, and according to media reports she worked or works as an advertiser.

Thomas was also a college student at the University of Alabama, focusing on a golf career. His current wife was at the University of Kentucky, studying journalism. Some will say that it was fate: Thomas was connected to her in various ways.
"Whenever I would go back home, I would visit my friends in the UK, and she was best friends with all my best friends,"- Justin Thomas said.
The two were primarily friends, but their friendship grew into something more. Thomas told the media that his wife told him a story about how he and his friends wanted to watch his match at midnight, while his wife was confused.
So I met her and she tells a funny story of, earlier that year was when I think I had won Malaysia [in 2015 and 16] or something like that to where all my friends, being the good friends that they are, had the bar put the golf on. Because of the time change, it was 12 oclock, 1 in the morning, the golf was on. "- he said.

Justin's wife revealed to him that she was confused as to why they wanted to watch golf at the bar, thinking it made no sense and calling the situation strange. However, after a while, she understood why they did such things. She clearly had feelings for Thomas, understanding what a great and honest person he was.
His wife followed his work years later, was his huge support, and someone who wanted to guide Thomas on the right path. After finishing her studies, his wife tried her hand at many fields, such as production, but now she works for an advertising firm in Chicago. Thomas revealed that Jillian Wisniewski isn't very familiar with golf and the rules, and sometimes she can make him laugh, considering that she isn't familiar with some of the important terms. Regardless of everything, Jillian Wisniewski is still his greatest supporter, and we have no doubt that she has time to learn many things about golf.
