Here's what we know about Jake Gyllenhaal’s niece, Ramona Sarsgaard

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard prefer keeping their daughters' lives private. To keep them away from paparazzi and all the attention, the couple rarely attends grand events with their two children.

Recently, Ramona Sarsgaard joined her father to enjoy the Hermès Fall/Winter show at the 2025 Paris Men’s Fashion Week. They were spotted having a gala time in the front row.

Per a South China Morning Post report, Ramona spoke with an interviewer and talked about attending different shows in Paris.

"I’ve been to one other [Paris show]. It’s been so fun," the 18-year-old shared.

In 2023, Ramona Sarsgaard and her mom, Maggie Gyllenhaal, were spotted in Paris. They visited this European city for the Christian Dior Wear Spring/Summer 2023 show at the Paris Fashion Week. They were seen sitting in the front row.

According to the outlet, Jake's elder niece is currently a college student. Though her life is extremely private and she also runs a private Instagram account, her bio reads that she is studying at Columbia University.

The Nightcrawler actor loves his nieces and often expresses his affection and love for them in interviews. Interestingly, he revealed on The Kelly Clarkson Show that these little ones influenced him to co-author The Secret Society of Aunts and Uncles in 2023.

For Ramona and Gloria, Jake lovingly said:

"They are the best people I know."

He further continued:

"My sister and brother-in-law have raised such incredible girls. They are magical. I don’t know where they came from but they’re the best and I love them so much."

Jake seems like a cool uncle, and he surely couldn't contain his excitement after his sister gave birth to her elder daughter, Ramona Sarsgaard, in 2007. After the wonderful news, the actor wore a shirt with Ramona written on it while hosting Saturday Night Live.

In a conversation with People Magazine years back, Jake shared,

"She’s not talking yet, but she looks amazing. I revel in her growth."

Recalling the incredible feeling of becoming an uncle to Ramona Sarsgaard, Jake shared with Scary Mommy how he was "so excited" when Maggie welcomed Ramona, his eldest niece. Rejoicing in the special moment, he also said, "I was thrilled to just be like, 'I’m Uncle Jake.'"
