Jennifer Lynn Siebel Newsom (née Siebel; born June 19, 1974) is an American documentary filmmaker and actress who has served as the first lady of California since 2019, as the wife of Governor Gavin Newsom. She was retitled, from "first lady" to first partner, for the sake of gender-inclusiveness. She had, accordantly with her husband's earlier posts, from 2011 to 2019 been California's "second lady"; and, from 2008 to 2011, the "first lady" of San Francisco. She wrote, directed, and produced the film Miss Representation (2011), which premiered in the documentary competition at the Sundance Film Festival. The film examines how the media have underrepresented women in positions of power. The Mask You Live In (2015), the second film she wrote, directed, and produced, scrutinizes American society's definition of masculinity.
