While Vincent Van Patten is best known as an actor, he's also a former tennis pro, and he's now ventured into pickleball. That love for sports has certainly been passed down to his youngest son, Jesse Van Patten. Exhibit A: Jesse's Instagram account names running as one of his biggest passions.
As noted by Athletic Net, Jesse has been running since his high school days. And, as proud mama Eileen Davidson revealed in an Instagram post back in 2021, he was quite the wunderkind in that department, too, as the record holder for his high school's 800-meter race. A few years on, he's continued down that path as a college athlete. However, while he's clearly a gifted runner, in a May 2023 Instagram post, he got real about feeling like he'd had some setbacks along the way. "Although it may seem that from the outside I am always positive and motivated, I found it hard to stay positive during the times where my goals would not be achieved over a certain time," he shared in the caption.
Even with the setbacks, it's safe to say the youngest of the Van Patten siblings is committed to his passion. Case in point: In one Instagram post, he shared that much of his 2023 summer vacation was spent training, from runs in the rain to early morning treadmill sessions after a concert.
