Janine Allen Was Jon Miller's Childhood Babysitter

Jon Miller's marriage to Janine Allen is his second one, the first being the relationship with his ex-wife Roberta Creeron in the 1970s. The marriage with his first wife lasted only seven years, and they had two daughters together.

Janine Allen was actually Jon Miller's childhood babysitter, who worked looking after him and his three younger siblings. His family and Allen's family were neighbors too, and the two families had developed a friendship between them. And Janine clearly remembers a lot about Jon of those times. 'I distinctly remember him broadcasting those games,' Janine said in an interview. 'There were all kinds of crazy stories about him, how he'd sit on his roof for hours on a clear night, listening to the Giants game on the radio, looking into the distance at the lights of Candlestick Park. He was kind of a strange kid.'

On the other hand, Jon always had a crush on the babysitter. 'I kind of had the hots for her - as much as you can, when you're 10,' he said in an interview. 'But over the years, I'd think about her from time to time. She was so beautiful, adorable. And only five years older than me.'

Over the years, Janine went her own way, got married, and moved to Ohio. But after 16 years, the marriage ended and left her with one daughter. Jon and Janine were still in touch, however, in all those years. And Jon had also had come out of his marriage around the same time Janine got divorced from her first husband.
