Joey Jordison's Family and Vimic Update: Who Inherited His Music and Untold Legacy?
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
The short, factual answer to the question is simple: Nathan Jonas Jordison never fathered children. Despite occasional rumors generated by celebrity algorithm scrapers, public records and extensive family biographies show no record of Jordison having offspring.
He guarded his domestic life closely. While legions of fans recognized the manic intensity of "#1" on stage with Slipknot, offstage Jordison retreated to his private property outside Des Moines, Iowa. He was never legally married. His most prominent public relationship was with longtime partner Amanda Victoria, who stood alongside him through his public battle with acute transverse myelitis, a neurological disease that temporarily cost him the use of his legs in the early 2010s. When Jordison died quietly in his sleep on July 26, 2021, the absence of a spouse or children shifted the full responsibility of his legacy directly to his parents and siblings.
In Iowa probate court, intestate succession laws or standard testamentary trusts mandate that without direct issue (children) or a surviving legal spouse, an estate falls to parents and siblings. For Jordison, this meant his mother, Jackie Jordison, and his sisters, Kate Jordison and Anne Jordison, became the guardians of everything bearing his signature rhythm.
