One of the stranger and most infamous moments in the 2021 mayoral campaign came in June of that year, when amid growing questions about where exactly Eric Adams lived, he and his only son, Jordan Coleman, allowed reporters to inspect<\/a> Adams’s Bedford Stuyvesant townhome, to prove that Adams did in fact live there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The apartment that was toured, however, struck observers as younger man’s bachelor pad; one found photos of Coleman wearing some of the sneakers<\/a> lined up next to the bed..Some even noted that the fridge did not seem to match the fridge pictured in a photo of Adams’s alleged Bed-Stuy fridge<\/a>\u2014and plus, why was there salmon in the famously vegan Adams’s fridge<\/a>? (The animal products, his campaign explained, were Coleman’s, who they said lived in New Jersey but sometimes stayed in Brooklyn.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe Adams just wanted to have an opportunity to talk about his relationship with his son, who was born in 1996<\/a> to Adams and his then-partner, Chrisena Coleman. To a gaggle of reporters outside the apartment, Adams began crying as he admitted<\/a> that he was absent for Jordan’s football games and birthdays. Jordan, for his part, told the New Yorker<\/a> that in periods of his dad’s absence, he thought of Adams as more of a “metaphorical father.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jordan seems to have always had his own ambitions. When he was young, he became the voice of Tyrone the Moose in the popular children’s cartoon “The Backyardigans,” and says he used the earnings from the show to fund his first film, “Say it Loud<\/a>,” in which a 12-year old Jordan interviewed, among others, Kobe Bryant and Michael Strahan about “the importance of education for African American boys.” In high school, he and his mother also directed a movie called “Payin’ The Price,” a “cautionary tale about teen dating violence<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, Jordan has also clearly benefited from having a well-known dad, and is willing to at times reap the benefits of his father’s connections in the worlds of nightlife, business, and entertainment. Jordan worked at a restaurant owned by his dad’s friends, Robert and Zhan Petrosyants, who owned the now-closed Park Slope restaurant Woodland, and opened the mayor’s current\u00a0 favorite haunt Osteria La Baia.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
