Who is Tatjana Patitz's son, Jonah?

Tatjana Patitz welcomed her son Jonah in 2004 during her marriage to ex-husband Jason Johnson.

Throughout Jonah's younger years, he would often stay out of the spotlight, but as he got older he quickly followed in his mother's footsteps.

He is now known for his career as a model and was previously seen posing alongside his mother during several Vogue photoshoots.

She ultimately told the outlet in 2022 that her son was her "source of happiness."

What was Tatjana Patitz's cause of death?

Patitz was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1966 and later died on January 11, 2023.

Tatjana's agent Corinne Nicholas confirmed that Patitz died from breast cancer at the age of 56.

"Tatiana passed away this morning in California, the cause of death was breast cancer," she told Insider.

"Tatjana was always the European symbol of chic, like Romy Schneider-meets-Monica Vitti,” Condé Nast's Global Chief Content Officer and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour said in a statement, via the New York Post.

“She was far less visible than her peers — more mysterious, more grown-up, more unattainable — and that had its own appeal."

Patitz began modeling at the age of 17 and later rose to fame in the 1980s and 1990s. She was best known for her work with Vogue.

She also starred alongside Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, and Linda Evangelista in George Michael’s Freedom! ’90 music video.
