Just like other celebrities, Jake is also quite active on social sites like Instagram and Twitter, and in an interview, when he asked about his social media presence, he replied;

 “I’m on social media, and I really do try. Unfortunately, I’m old enough that it’s just not in my bloodstream; it’s not second nature. I’m also fairly private. I don’t need the world to know about everything I’m doing.”

He added,

“I’d rather focus on the work and the acting and the performance. I’m stone-cold lucky that I’m already established in the industry because I’d never make it today if casting directors asked me how many followers I had. I’ve always been about the work, not about the glitz.”

Besides, Busey and his lady love shared a beautiful daughter, Autumn Rosalia Busey, in 2012. His baby girl is a huge fan of ice cream, and he often shares his adorable pictures on his official Instagram.
