Biography[]
Jules Cobb was born in 1968 (her age is given as 41 in season 1) to Chick and Bea. After her mother died, she and her father grew apart as she reminded him too much of her mother. They later rekindle their relationship and soon become very close again.
She was 19 and had just started college when she got pregnant. Soon afterwards she dropped out and married Bobby Cobb, with him she had their son, Travis. She never finished her formal education, and later became a realtor. She moved to Gulfhaven, Florida with Bobby and Travis in 2003, and bought a house in a local cul-de-sac next door to Ellie and Andy. She and Bobby lived there until they decided to separate on Thanksgiving in 2008, following Bobby's constant cheating while touring for his golfing career. He moved out soon after, and their divorce was finalized before the start of the first season.
In the first season, Jules is living life as a divorced single mother exploring the truths about dating and aging. She tries to relive her 20s and make up for lost time by dating younger men, as she spent her 20s and early 30s raising Travis. But has since come to terms with the limitations of her age and has had relationships with men her age.
She later marries her neighbor, whom she began dating in the final episodes of season one. They get engaged, and later marry in season three. Jules has in the past stated that she doesn't want to have any more children; this sometimes causes tension between her and Grayson, though she gradually becomes less averse to the idea. After she learns that Grayson had a daughter from a one-night stand, they both mellow to the idea of having another baby.[1]
