Ketanji Brown Jackson, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and her husband, Patrick Graves Jackson, have been married for 29 years, having tied the knot in 1996. Their relationship began during their undergraduate years at Harvard University.

Their love story is a testament to shared values and mutual support, overcoming initial concerns about their differing backgrounds. Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, met Patrick Jackson in a history class at Harvard College during her sophomore year. They started as friends in a class called "Changing the Concept of Race in America" before their relationship turned romantic. Justice Jackson has described Patrick as a "quintessential Boston Brahmin," noting the contrast with her own family history, where her ancestors were enslaved. Despite these differences, she highlighted their similar habits, describing them as "long-suffering early to bed, early to rise kind of people".
