Deborah Jennifer Stern's anonymity has made some publications confuse her with the many unrelated women who share her name. One can hope that Howard Stern's second child is half as accomplished as her name doppelgangers.
Deborah Jennifer Stern's life in relative obscurity is partly due to Howard Stern's early decision to no longer have family members on his show.
Her dad has only good things to say about his son-in-law, an Oakland artist and furniture designer. She is flanked by two sisters with higher profiles relative to hers.

Deborah Jennifer Stern Had a Glimpse at Fame but Did Not Follow in Dad's Footsteps
Alison Bern and Howard welcomed their daughter Deborah into the world on May 9, 1986. Also known as Debra, the youngster and her siblings would visit their dad on his show or call in. In therapy, the presenter realized that having his kids at work was not in their best interests:
“As good as the radio was when the girls would come on, I realized that it stripped away our real relationship, and they were entitled to their anonymity. The most caring thing I could do was to keep them off the air.”
"The Howard Stern Show" host believed it was "more loving to let them have their separate identities and shine on their own." He explained to his daughters when they were older that he did not exclude them from that part of his life because they had done anything wrong.
Deborah Jennifer Stern Currently Lives in Obscurity
Deborah married Colin Inaba Christy on October 8, 2016. Christy hails from Salt Lake City, Utah, and founded a hand-cut furniture company in 2015, Hapa Inaba Designs. He explains on the company website that 'Hapa' refers to "people of mixed Asian heritage," he is half Japanese.
Studying traditional Japanese joinery and carpentry techniques "connects him to his roots." The carpenter makes all the sustainable furniture from a studio in Oakland, California.
It is safe to conclude that Deborah and her husband have a peaceful existence away from the limelight in Oakland. There is no evidence of the young couple having children.
