Let’s talk about Jacob Bertrand, the guy who made you rethink your entire attitude after watching Cobra Kai. He’s not just a mohawked fighter who’s always ready to throw hands.
Nope. Jacob is more than just his kickass persona on-screen. And if you think he’s a one-trick pony, think again. This dude’s got range — and a sense of humor that’ll keep you laughing all the way to the credits.
The CHUMAA Magazine Team did a thing, and, well… Here’s all the team found out about him. Call this his full Wiki biography profile summary, because it’d be just that and more. Get in here!
What to Expect 🙂
Jacob Bertrand Early Life
Jacob Bertrand was born in Los Angeles, California, on March 6, 2000. So, yeah, the guy is a legit LA kid. His childhood was probably filled with sunshine, smoothies, and, I don’t know… perfecting his karate kicks in the backyard.
But here’s the twist — before Jacob was famous for fighting in Cobra Kai, he spent some serious time in a strip mall dojo learning taekwondo.
Check: Growing up in LA means Jacob was probably sipping smoothie bowls before it was cool. But, wait for it — his real secret sauce? Taekwondo.
Yeah, you read that right. Before Jacob was throwing punches as Hawk, he was training in taekwondo at a strip mall dojo (talk about humble beginnings). He hit purple belt status, so don’t mess with him — he’s got the kicks to prove it.
But he didn’t stop there. He took his skills to Cobra Kai, where he trained with the best of them (aka taekwondo grandmaster Simon Rhee).
By the time he was 7 or 8, he had already figured out that he wanted to be an actor. He landed a tiny role in the 2008 film House — which means, yeah, he’s been doing this acting thing for ages.
And he wasn’t just learning karate from a screen; our guy trained with taekwondo grandmaster Simon Rhee to get his moves just right. Basically, if Jacob wanted to throw down in real life, no one would stand a chance.
Jacob Bertrand Family
Family-wise, Jacob’s got the perfect support system. His parents, Scott and Christina Bertrand, and his siblings, Blake (his twin brother) and Makenna (his older sister), have been cheering him on through every role and kick.
But let’s be honest: the real star of the Bertrand family might just be their backyard — because with a son like Jacob, who wouldn’t want to live near Hollywood?
Check: Originally from Los Angeles, Jacob is an American citizen by birth. Given his parents’ ethnic markup, his ethnicity is Mixed with Hispanic and French blood found in his DNA. He is a Christian and so are his parents and two siblings. Plus, he currently still lives in Los Angeles.
Jacob Bertrand Dating History
Here’s the thing about Jacob: when he’s not kicking butt on screen, he’s pretty good at making hearts skip a beat in real life.
Check: Jacob’s dating history is as interesting as his roles. From 2017 to 2022, he was in a long-term relationship with his first girlfriend Serena Pullen.
But the real “awww” moment came in March 2022 when he confirmed he was dating Cobra Kai co-star Peyton List.
Yup, that’s right. The two lovebirds stepped out at the Critics’ Choice Awards, and fans went wild. Everyone was like, “Wait, are they a thing?” And then they were like, “Oh yeah, they are.”
Y’all. We, at CHUMAA Magazine, love a good Hollywood romance — especially when it involves two Cobra Kai stars. So if you were hoping for a love story on and off screen, well, Jacob delivered. So, now, you can ship with your fully chest without feeling like a creep. XD
Sexuality: Is Jacob Bertrand Gay?
So, is Jacob Bertrand gay? Well, he’s never publicly said he is gay. What we do know is that he’s been dating Peyton List since 2022. So unless something dramatic happens in the Cobra Kai universe, Jacob’s got his heart taken.
He’s kept his personal life pretty low-key, but when it comes to relationships, he’s made it clear he’s got a thing for Peyton.
Bottom line: Jacob’s sexuality? It’s his business, but right now, it’s Peyton List who’s got his attention.
Jacob Bertrand Career Timeline
Let’s not forget: before Jacob became Eli “Hawk” Moskowitz, he was already showing up everywhere. We mean, this guy’s like the Kevin Bacon of teen TV shows — he’s been in almost everything.
He started with guest spots on Parks and Recreation, Community, and iCarly. Then, he scored bigger roles, including the lead in Disney XD’s Kirby Buckets. But nothing, absolutely nothing, could prepare the world for the impact of Cobra Kai.
Check: Jacob brought Eli “Hawk” to life in a way that made you feel for the guy — even when he was being an absolute jerk. That mohawk wasn’t just a hairstyle — it was an emblem of epic character growth.
Oh, and did we mention Jacob’s podcast? He co-hosts Lone Lobos with his Cobra Kai buddy, Xolo Maridueña. It’s like an inside scoop on everything Cobra Kai, plus random musings about life. It’s basically a comedy show in podcast form.
Jacob Bertrand Highlights
Let’s talk about Hawk for a sec. The character Jacob plays in Cobra Kai is iconic. He starts as the classic school bully — mohawk, attitude, karate chops — but eventually becomes something more.
Check: His transformation from bad boy to redemption story is probably the most compelling character arc in the entire show.
And fun fact: the Cobra Kai cast voted Jacob as the most likely to survive on a deserted island. Why? Because, according to them, he’s a survivalist.
So, yeah, if you’re ever stranded on an island with him, you’ll probably survive. I’d also suggest taking notes. You never know when you’ll need to build a shelter or start a fire with two sticks.

Jacob’s been around the block, folks. He’s voiced characters in animated films like Rise of the Guardians and ParaNorman. But it’s not all about the serious stuff. This guy’s got range.
You’ve probably caught him in The Swap (Disney Channel Original Movie, baby!) and Kirby Buckets (if you grew up in the right era). He’s voiced Bam the Batmobile in Batwheels, which is both hilarious and totally badass.
And let’s not forget the teen classic Jinxed, where he played Charlie Murphy. Basically, Jacob’s been putting in the work for a while.

And don’t even get me started on his weight — 141 pounds of pure muscle (no wonder he looks so good in a karate gi). The man is in top shape, and it’s obvious he puts in the work.
