Beyond the Gates' Ashley Morgan and her on-screen mom, Jan, might not have the best luck in love, but that's not quiet the case for Ashley’s portrayer, Jen Jacob, or her real-life parents. Jacob shared a touching tribute to them on social media in honor of their 40th wedding anniversary.
Jacob took to Instagram to share a heartwarming video from her wedding where she is seen dancing with her father, only for her mother to join in, all to the beat of The Temptations hit song, My Girl.
Jacob then gives fans a brief glimpse at her parents throughout the years, and captions her tribute; “Today my parents celebrate 40 years married. And here’s the thing about being the child to a 40 year commitment…you get to watch it grow. ? I’ve seen my parents marriage from almost every vantage point. I saw it in the backseat, buckled into the car, legs bouncing with the shifts of the road, I saw him hold her hand as they fought about the best way to get to her mother’s. I heard it from the top of the staircase when he came home from work late, well after I was put to bed. I looked up to it as they placed me on the ground to fuss with Lindsay’s scraped knees. I saw out to it in every audience as I surveyed from the stage, looking for their seats. They never missed a show, not once. I said goodbye to it when they left us with ravioli on date nights, and good morning to it as we jumped in their bed and snuggled in to watch Nickelodeon on special mornings. I sat with it when they got the heaviest news two people in love could possibly get, and I sat between it at her funeral too. I danced along side it at my wedding — having the Father-Daughter dance without my mom just didn’t feel right. I sang with it on every birthday and I watched it standing there as I went off on my own for the very first time, waving to me from the driveway. I saw it when it was hurting, I saw it when it was laughing, I saw it when it was almost over and I saw it get put back together again too. I saw it get chosen, over and over and over again. And I saw it on their wedding day, I just didn’t know it yet. Mom and Dad, thank you for teaching me how to choose love in this world. Kindness, forgiveness, strength and honoring your words, too. But most of all, love. ?”

CBS officially describes Beyond the Gates as a soap opera that is “set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington, D.C., in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States; a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those who live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have “made it” and those who haven’t are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.“
Beyond the Gates has a cast of over thirty contracted actors. The soap is anchored by the Dupree family, starring Clifton Davis (Vernon Dupree), Tamara Tunie (Anita Dupree), Karla Mosley (Dani Dupree), and Daphnée Duplaix (Nicole Richardson), and their respective families.
