He has over 15,000 followers on Instagram and zero posts on his account. He appeared on camera a handful of times in 2022 and has not done so since. His name gets searched because of his mother, a Bosnian war survivor who built a $300 million business empire, and his father, once the highest-paid banker in Britain, who stood trial at the Old Bailey for fraud and walked free.
At 26, Innis Jenkins has chosen complete privacy. In the world he was born into, that takes deliberate effort.

Diana Jenkins: From Sarajevo to a $300 Million Empire
To understand Innis Jenkins, the story of his mother comes first, because it shapes everything about the family he was raised in.
Sanela Diana Jenkins was born in Sarajevo in 1973. When the Bosnian War started, she was a teenager. She fled the city on foot as fighting closed in and reached London with almost nothing. She enrolled at City University London, worked while studying, and graduated with an honors degree in Computer Science and Economics.
What she built from there:
- Neuro Brands: a functional beverage company she founded in 2009, now stocked in over 70,000 retailers across the United States
- Melissa Odabash: the luxury swimwear label she acquired
- D Empire Entertainment: a music label she co-founded with her partner, musician Asher Monroe
Her philanthropic record runs alongside all of it. In 2002, she established the Irnis Catic Foundation in memory of her younger brother, who was killed by paramilitary forces during the Bosnian War. The foundation funds medical facilities at the University of Sarajevo. She also founded the Sanela Diana Jenkins Human Rights Project at UCLA Law School, and co-founded the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization with actor Sean Penn after the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
The name “Innis” is widely believed to be a tribute to her murdered brother Irnis. The names are near-identical. Diana has never publicly confirmed this directly.
Diana Jenkins joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a main cast member for Season 12 in 2022. She stepped away after one season, citing a high-risk pregnancy that required doctor-ordered bed rest. Her net worth is estimated at $300 million.
Roger Jenkins: The Banker, the Sprinter, and the Fraud Trial
Innis’s father, Roger Jenkins, is one of the more layered figures in modern British finance. Most people who know the name think of Barclays. Fewer know he was first an elite athlete.
Roger represented Scotland and Great Britain as a sprinter from 1973 to 1978. He competed at the European Championships and the Commonwealth Games. At the 1975 World Student Games in Rome, he won a silver medal in the 400 meters. His brother, David Jenkins, is an Olympic medalist. Their careers were documented together in the book A Life in a Day in a Year by Peter Hoffmann.
After graduating from Heriot-Watt University with a degree in economics, Roger joined Barclays in 1978 as a graduate trainee. He spent much of the next three decades building the bank’s Structured Capital Markets division, which generated ยฃ9.5 billion in revenue between 2000 and 2011. By 2005, he was reportedly earning around ยฃ40 million per year, making him the highest-paid banker in the City of London and the highest individual earner in the entire FTSE 100 at the time.
His most consequential professional moment came in 2008. As the global financial crisis hit, Roger orchestrated Barclays’ emergency capital raise of over ยฃ11 billion from Qatari and other Middle Eastern investors. That deal allowed Barclays to stay in private hands. Unlike RBS and Lloyds, the bank avoided government nationalisation.
Years later, that same deal brought him to court. The UK Serious Fraud Office charged Roger Jenkins alongside two other former Barclays executives with conspiracy to commit fraud over alleged undisclosed payments of ยฃ322 million to Qatar, made in connection with the 2008 fundraise. The trial opened at the Old Bailey in London in January 2019. It was the UK’s first criminal trial of senior bankers for conduct during the 2008 financial crisis.
On February 28, 2020, the jury acquitted all three men on every count. Deliberations lasted under six hours. Roger later described the decade-long investigation as “a very fallow ten years.”
After his divorce from Diana in 2011, Roger was photographed with supermodel Elle Macpherson in Malibu in August 2012. That relationship was brief. He later became engaged to Brazilian model Larissa Andrade in 2018, with that engagement ending in 2021. His net worth is estimated between $80 and $100 million.
Growing Up in Los Angeles
Innis grew up in Los Angeles and attended Oaks Christian High School in Westlake Village, California, a private school in the Conejo Valley. His name appears on the school’s soccer roster for the 2015-16 season on MaxPreps.
After graduating around 2018, he enrolled at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, roughly 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. He studied Business and Communications, confirmed through his LinkedIn profile. When he appeared on RHOBH in 2022, the show described him as a recent college graduate.
On RHOBH and in Public
Innis appeared in scenes from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 12, filmed mostly at Diana’s home. He spent time on camera with his youngest half-sister Eliyanah. His presence was quiet.
His most clearly documented public appearance came at the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s 30th Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party on March 27, 2022 in West Hollywood. Getty Images holds an official press photograph of Ava Dash, Innis Jenkins, and Sanela Diana Jenkins at the event.
Diana’s connection to the Foundation predates RHOBH by years. Neuro Drinks was listed as a Presenting Sponsor of the annual Oscar party as far back as 2016, confirmed in an official PR Newswire press release. The 30th Annual party in 2022 raised $8.6 million for HIV/AIDS research.
His Three Sisters
Innis is the eldest of four children, with a roughly 20-year age gap between himself and his youngest half-sister.
- Eneya Jenkins (born around 2002-03) is his full sister. She lives in the United Kingdom, where she trains as an equestrian. Diana confirmed on RHOBH that Eneya has her sights on Olympic competition.
- Eliyanah Monroe (born November 2020) is his half-sister, daughter of Diana and Asher Monroe.
- Elodie Mae Book (born August 2023) is his youngest half-sister, also Diana and Asher’s daughter.
Diana has shared multiple videos of Innis reading to and carrying Eliyanah, captioning one “My Happiness.” She has referred to him publicly as her “mini-me” and her “pride and joy” across several posts over the years.
The Relationship With Ava Dash
From around 2021, Innis was in a relationship with Ava Dash, the daughter of Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Damon Dash and fashion designer Rachel Roy.
The timeline:
- March 2021: Ava posted a photo with Innis, describing him as her date at a Neuro Brands event
- The pair were photographed together at Coachella
- March 27, 2022: Both attended the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party alongside Diana, captured in a Getty Images press photograph
- RHOBH Season 12 (2022): Ava made brief on-camera appearances as Innis’s girlfriend
Ava confirmed the relationship herself in a June 2025 interview with Bustle, noting that viewers on TikTok had been piecing together her various Bravo appearances over the years.
The relationship has since ended. Ava Dash is now in a confirmed relationship with AEW professional wrestler Tyler Senerchia, known on-screen as “Hook,” which went public in 2025. She joined the cast of Bravo’s Next Gen NYC, which premiered on June 3, 2025.
What He Is Doing in 2026
Innis Jenkins identifies as an entrepreneur on his Instagram bio. His professional work is not documented in any verified outlet, and he has no confirmed company affiliation from a credible source.
In 2019, Diana Jenkins publicly celebrated the release of “Hollow,” the lead track from Asher Monroe’s Elev8ted EP, tagging Innis alongside Monroe. Paris Hilton commented on the post. Innis is not formally credited on the track on any music platform. His specific role in the song, if any, is not on record.
His Instagram account, @innis_jenkins, has over 15,000 followers. As of March 2026, no public posts are visible on the profile.
The son of Diana Jenkins and Roger Jenkins is 26 years old, based in Los Angeles, and has made it through an entire adult life without a single public post, press quote, or headline of his own making. His mother once wrote on his birthday: “Happy birthday to my first born, my pride and joy.” Innis Jenkins has clearly decided that’s more than enough public record for now.
