Why do we have to put ourselves in boxes when it comes to who we want to be with? Shouldn't it just be about the person?
Jude


Jude Adams Foster (born Jude Jacob) is a main character in the Freeform series, The Fosters, and a minor guest character in its spin-off Good Trouble. He is portrayed by Hayden Byerly.

Jude is the son of Donald Jacob and his now-deceased wife, Colleen Jacob, as well as the adoptive son of Stef Adams Foster, and Lena Adams Foster. He is the half-brother of Callie and the adopted brother of Brandon, Jesus and Mariana Adams Foster.

Jude has suffered through hard times - having lost his mother to a drunk driving accident and his father to prison before being sent, alongside his elder sister Callie, into the foster system where he would be bounced through various foster homes. Despite his rough upbringing, he always managed to have a good conscience and a bright outlook on life. It wasn't until he met the Fosters that he finally found his "forever home".

Biography[]

Jude Jacob was born on November 17, 2000, to Colleen and Donald Jacob. He is the younger brother of Callie.

When Callie was ten and Jude was six, their mother passed away in a car accident that their father's drunk driving was responsible for. Consequently, their father went to prison for manslaughter since he had also killed other people. As a result of having no relatives to care for them, Callie and Jude were placed into the foster care system for six years. Their time in the system is implied to be rough and abusive. After they entered the foster care system, Callie took Jude under her wing and became completely focused on protecting him, becoming somewhat of a parental figure to him.

Despite often moving house to house while in foster care, which proved to be hard on him and his sister, Jude is a rather quiet and often peaceful child. While usually not being in a particular foster home for long, even becoming accustomed to this pattern, he always enjoyed the good homes he sometimes did get to live in. Callie, however, would often encourage him not to get too attached to the good homes.

While it has been stated that Jude has been abused by at least one foster parent, which Callie described as "getting the crap beaten out of him", he hasn't let such treatment hinder him and is always a pleasant person. Whether he was abused by other foster parents and the extent of his abuse in the system is left unknown and mostly unmentioned.

After being taken in by the Adams-Foster family, Jude finally finds his "forever home", and is eventually adopted even though Callie had trouble getting adopted herself.

Personality[]

Jude is a shy introverted young man he does however start to come out of his shell as he gets older and grows more comfortable in who he is especially with the love and support of the Adams Foster family. After he becomes comfortable with his sexuality and comes out as gay he really opens up and even co-hosts a very popular video game streaming blog.

Physical Appearance[]

Jude was a young boy with short dark brown hair and brown eyes. Jude's appearance changed over the course of the series as he developed into adolescents. In season 1, he is a somewhat short young boy who has yet to really physically develop. However, from season 2 to season 3, he has considerably grown to where he is at least a foot taller - almost taller than Callie - and his voice has deepened significantly. Also, his cheeks have become more slender.

The clothing Jude wears is usually casual, mostly regular jeans and T-shirts that consist of a similar design. However, when it comes to formal events (such as dances and events like his adoption or Father's Day brunch), he always dresses in a suit or in a more proper manner.

5x19 Stef-Jude2

During a flash-forward sequence, it was shown that Jude went through an emo-phase in his later teen years. He dyed a portion of his hair blue and cut it to appear shaggier so it would hang further down his forehead. On the back half of his head, he wore a black wool beanie. He also started applying eyeliner, specifically on his upper-lids that created a shadow-like effect. In addition, he pierced his lowered lip on the right side and started wearing rings and black studded bracelets. His clothing was also significantly darker and heavier, wearing long sleeves and a hoodie with red skulls on it.

In "Good Trouble", Jude is out of his emo stage and wears relaxed jeans paired with modern tops.

During one of the calls, Brandon mentions the number repeatedly calling him and Callie answers one of Jude's calls and tries to talk to Jude, desperate to know if he is okay. However, he is quickly taken off the phone by the foster father. She tries to leave to go to him and get him out of the house, but Brandon demands answers.

Later, Jude begins school at Anchor Beach where Lena tells him which section of the school to stick to. When hearing he could run into Callie, Jude becomes visibly happy. During class, Callie looks for him and sees him in class through the window. She taps on the window to get Jude's attention. Seeing her, Jude excuses himself from class and leaves to go see Callie. Outside, she asks if he is okay. He says that he is fine, much to her relief. Callie then asks if he talked to Bill, which he did. Callie wonders if Bill "said anything" to Jude. Jude tells her that he said "hi", but nothing else. He then goes back to class.

He then gets back to his homework. Later, Jude wanders into the kitchen where he asks Lena if there are any chores he can do. Lena is confused at his request, and he explains how since all of his former foster homes were aware he wouldn't stay long, they'd give him chores to do in the meantime. Lena asks him to help set the table for dinner. As he helps out, he asks if she and Stef are married. Lena says no, legally, but they are "married in their hearts". Jude answers how that is more or the less the same thing, which makes her smile.

Hesitantly, Lena changes one of his answers so that Jude just barely gets a 65 percent - ensuring he can further remain with Callie at school.

Later on, Jude is with the family while watching a movie and doing his writing assignment. He brings up how he needs to name his antagonist in his English paper and as the family give him names, Tayla suggests the name 'Liam'.

After this, Lena finds Jude upstairs struggling to take the nail polish off. She helps him with it and talks to him, telling him how at home, she and Stef hold hands and kiss. However, when in public, they sometimes don't. Jude asks why, and Lena says how there are people out there who wish to hurt people like Stef and her and this pressures her into being afraid. She tells Jude how this makes her mad at the people wanting to hurt her as well as at herself for caving into them. Taking his hands, she assures him how there is nothing wrong with him for being different. Going on, she says what's wrong are the people who make them feel unsafe and he shouldn't be ashamed of who he is.

The next day, Jude is eating lunch alone while wearing blue nail polish when Connor comes and sits with him. Looking up at him, Jude sees Connor proudly wearing blue nail polish like as well. Smiling, they eat in comfortable silence.

She then tells how it can be easy to feel comfortable there, but that it isn't their home and he shouldn't get too invested in the Fosters. Jude asks why not, asking if she actually wants a family.

He then walks away from a silenced Callie.

Jude nods, and Connor asks if he could if he can come over his house because his mother doesn't like having other kids over. Jude says he can, but he'll have to ask. Connor says to let him know and goes back to his seat. Jude smiles happily to himself, realizing he has a friend.

Later at home, he walks in on Stef and Lena having a brief argument, and asks if he should ask them about Connor coming over later. They say yes, and asks what he wants. He nervously tells them that his class has to build a DNA model, and they have to work in pairs, and he was wondering if his friend Connor could come over. Lena asks if that's all, and he says yeah.

Connor sees Jesus's skateboard and thinks it's Jude's. Jude tells him everything in the room is Jesus's, and shows him his little few things. Connor seems surprised as Jude tells him when he moves around a lot, things get lost or stolen. Connor tries to make him feel better by saying another student is a jerk for always going on about everything he has but Jude doesn't realize it. He asks him why he doesn't say anything bad about the other boys and the people who bully him. Jude tells him what's the point as it doesn't make him feel any better. Connor takes this in.

Jude tells him he's in jail, but then makes up a lie. He says that his father was in jail and eventually got out. He goes on saying that he's made a lot of money and he lives on an island now. Connor seems skeptical of this, but as Jude goes on the lie gets worse as he tells them he has nice cars, a pool, the house is on the beach. He continues saying that his father will get him and Callie someday. Connor asks him why he's lying. Jude denies this, but Connor tells him that he doesn't need to lie to seem cool. Jude seems embarrassed by this. Connor quickly puts this behind him, and pulls out his PSP. He asks Jude if he would like to play the game, and gives it to him. Jude has never really seen something so cool, and Connor seems to be happy that Jude is happy.

Jude, still folding mats, bluntly says Brandon doesn't - he just wants to make sure he isn't going to tell anyone about him kissing Callie.

Caught off guard, Brandon tries denying it. However, Jude sarcastically asks if he expects to be with his sister now and tells him that he can't. Otherwise, Jude and Callie won't get adopted.

He at first thought that she was still into Wyatt and that's why she ran away with him, but then he realized that she didn't run away with Wyatt. Brandon concluded that Callie ran away from him. Jude begins to cry, and Brandon says that he completely screwed everything up and apologizes.

Jude then insists that she didn't run away because of Brandon, but because of him. Jude tells Brandon how he called her selfish and that she ruined everything for him - so she left. Brandon and Jude share a moment as he hugs Jude and begins comforting him, letting him cry on his chest, as he assures Jude that it isn't his fault.

As Connor is throwing out his food, Jude asks if he can have some of his uneaten food, which he gives to him.

After discovering his secret stash of food under his bed as a result of ants, Lena confronts him about hoarding food in his room. She asks why he won't just go to the pantry if he's hungry or if he's scared they're going to run out.

Family Day

Untitled-TF

Jude faced with the option of getting adopted without his sister.

He is joining and making breakfast as Stef, Mariana and Jesus go on about their latest life dramas. When Jude is alone with Stef and Lena, who has come in by then, they sit him down. They wish to talk to him regarding moving forward wit his adoption. Jude asks if it also includes Callie's adoption. They admit they hope so, but that is up to Callie. Jude accepts this. Stef says he must consider his options; if Callie doesn't decide to get adopted, then he must consider getting adopted without her. He agrees to think it over.

While walking into his shared room with Jesus, he unintentionally walks in on Jesus taking half naked photos of himself to Lexi. He frantically apologizes, glancing away. Jesus yells that he can't come in and out as he pleases, but Jude remarks he came to drop off his bag. Jesus and Jude come to an understanding that whenever he sees a cap on the doorknob, he is taking a little "Jesus time". Jude giggles at this, remarking he can guess what "Jesus time" means. Jesus insists that is not what he meant by it, but to accept it. Jude says that isn't fair, but Jesus declares it his room. Jude is clearly upset by it before throwing his bag down and storming out.

During family day, Jude is with the family and clearly happy to see his sister. He responds by hugging her almost immediately when she opens the door. He listens with the family as Callie explains the busy schedule that Girls United has. He also has lunch that the girls made before taking his lunch outside where Callie follows him. She tries to make conversation with him, but he seems distant with her now. She finally apologizes for what she did, saying it's okay if he is angry. He then says how he knew she always pushed others away, he just never thought she would do it to him. Callie says how she was only trying to protect him so he could get adopted. He tells her that he is getting adopted - with or without her, explaining the paperwork is getting filled out already. Callie is happy for him, but is also hurt.

Jude yelling at Jesus it is his room too.

At home, Jude knocks on the door to his shared room with Jesus while the cap is on. Despite telling Jesus he needs to get his homework, his soon-to-be adopted brother tells him to get it later. Sighing, he slides down the floor and begins eating snacks. An hour later, Jude is sick of being kept out and barges in. When seeing he was kept out so Jesus could skype with Emma, not his girlfriend Lexi, Jude is furious. He begins yelling how he can't "write rules as he goes" and that it's his room as well. Jesus easily dismisses this statement, bringing Jude to angrily throw a book at him just as Stef and Lena come in. Deciding to defuse the situation, they bring Jude down to talk.

Downstairs, they explain he can't solve his problems with violence. Jude says he was locked out of his room, which they say isn't condoned and Jesus will hear about it. They still say that isn't an excuse. Taking a breath, he apologizes and leaves. After he does, Stef and Lena happily squeal to themselves over Jude adjusting to becoming a real member of the family by having his first "little brother" fight with Jesus and calling it "his" room now.

At school, going into his locker, he finds a chocolate bar with the word "All" taped on it in the similar fashion. During lunch with Connor, a girl comes up and delivers cupcakes with frosted on words "Was" and "In" on them.

At the Foster's home, Connor and Jude track down the remaining clues in the Foster family kitchen and try to decode Callie's message.

Later, he walks in on Mariana trying to convince Lena to let her and Callie attend a party. Catching each other's eye, Callie walks up to him. He flatly tells her he found eleven clues and if there are more. She claims to not know what he is talking about, which Jude asks again if there at least thirteen. Callie replies with a vague "Maybe" and if he's figured out what it says. Jude denies this, eagerly asking that the message is. Callie continues to play dumb, frustrating Jude.

He opens it to see the book of Hansel and Gretel. He opens it to see the taped word "Together" on the inside. She recalls how their mother used to always read the book to them as kids. Jude concludes she's been leaving him "birthday bread crumbs" the whole time. Turning to the last page, he sees what the code was through the clues - "Then all anxiety was at an end and they lived in perfect happiness".

Callie is upset to learn he still legally has any, since he has not contacted them in years. Jude asks if he can deny their adoption by them; something Callie doesn't believe he'll do. Stef tells them if he does, they can fight it, but hopefully it won't come down to a custody battle.

Connor, witnessing the scene, confronts him about telling him that he was okay with him wanting to ask her out and lying to him. Jude says he just changed his mind, but Connor says that he thinks the only reason he is suddenly interested in Maddie is because he told him that he was. Jude says how that isn't true before saying it doesn't matter either way because she doesn't like Connor, she likes him.

Lena responds with by saying that jealously is an ugly thing. She further explains that just because he feels jealous in this one situation, doesn't mean he is gay, but it doesn't mean he isn't either.

It is then that Stef and Lena pull Callie and Jude aside. They explain to her that there seems to be a mix-up with her original birth certificate - a different person is listed as her birth father, not Donald Jacob.

Lena goes on that while she is angry at Mr. Stevens, she cannot control what he thinks. She adds that, if anything, she feels bad for Connor since he must grow up in that type of judgmental environment.

Later, as Stef and Lena talk, he overhears in the hallway them discuss Lena's feelings about her half-brother in the kitchen and how she feels him only being half doesn't make him really count as a brother. Stef asks if being a half-sibling truly makes a difference. Lena says that since they do not share the same mother, yes, to her it does. She simply states that "half isn't full". Jude appears hurt at this comment, given he is Callie's half-brother, and takes off out of the house and slams the door, causing Stef to hear him. As she walks into the living room, she sees him leaving the house on his bike through the window - realizing that he heard them.

She reveals how her father was married before he met her mother and had a son named Nathan, whom she didn't live with and never got to be close to him like most siblings are growing up. Jude asks if that's why she never talked about him since she didn't grow up with him. Lena tells him no, going on that he lived in another state with his mother and when he did come to visit he wasn't "very nice".

One day, they finally had a blow up and said some "mean" things to each other and haven't talked since. Jude suggests her brother was jealous, since she lived with her father whereas he didn't. Lena says he may be right. She then says how she may have been feeling a little jealous since her parents were staying with her brother and how it resulted in her "saying things she really doesn't mean". She tells him that Callie is going to love her gift and he doesn't have to make up for his getting adopted with a gift for her as she loves him.

She says she knows that, and he retorts for her to stop treating him like one. He says everyone keeps treating him like a kid despite him being 13 because she does. Callie is shocked at his outburst, and he remarks for her to just leave him alone. He leaves the lake and approaches Brandon, who is nearby watching, and tells him that he never narced about Hayley and only told moms that he and Jesus went out and got lost - which they were - but next time they "can be eaten by bears for all that he cares".

Jude as he surprises Callie with his plan party for her.

Jude is sitting beside Mariana as she complains about her siblings taking more time then scheduled in the bathroom during dinner time. He asks when the construction on the bathroom is going to be done as he goes into the fridge, taking out ketchup, and Stef explains they had to fire the contractor for unspecified reasons. The family then exclaims in mock disgust for him revealing to be putting the ketchup onto his dinner tacos. Later, he excitedly comes down after dinner to tell Stef and Lena about how he gave everyone proper instructions when arriving tomorrow and that "Callie has no idea", while grinning in excitement.

Jude as he asks if Callie is truly having fun.

When Mariana and Callie arrive back with condiments and soda for a seemingly small party, they are shocked when Jude jumps out in front of a large crowd, surprising them with a huge surprise party. Jude explains how it is the first truly happy birthday she's had in a long time and they all wanted to join in celebration.

During the party, he anxiously tells his mothers how a delivery man is thirty minutes late and to call to see the problem. Looking back at Callie, he asks if they believe she is truly having fun. Stef, wrapping her arm around him, tells him that he is "the bestest brother ever". She gives him a re-assuring kiss on the head. Later, he watches in amusement as the Girls United group play a funny rap song about Callie, laughing with the family as they watch.

Sometime later, he and Rita are looking at a small board of photos of Callie and him during their childhood years. She asks him where they're from and he explains Donald gave them to him in a box recently. She tells him how nice it is to have photos of such times. They both laugh over Callie's hairstyle as a little girl before Rita points out how happy Callie is in the photo. Jude explains how, growing up, Callie was obsessed with her birthday and how, to her, it was never just one day; sometimes she would make it her birth week or even her birth month. Rita tells him that he knows how to throw a really nice party, bidding him a "good job". When Brandon and AJ get into a fight, he is with the crowd as they watch Stef and Mike try to defuse the situation.

He is with Stef and Lena as they present the birthday cake, pulling Callie to his side to the table and smiling as she blows out the candles. He is at the table as Callie confronts Mariana over her hook up with Wyatt, watching. He overhears her comment about "the surprise party she didn't want", and is clearly hurt by it. Later, after Callie comes back to the house, he walks directly past her with his coat and bike helmet in hand. She asks where he's going and he answers that he is heading to Connor's house. She asks if he's leaving her party. Jude answers with a, "The party you never wanted? Yeah, I am."

Jude hurt by Callie's words.

Realizing that he had overheard her, she tells him that she didn't mean it. She explains that she truly loves everything he has done for her, but that all those people paying attention to her simply makes her uncomfortable. Confused, he reminds her how she used to love her birthdays. She admits that she doesn't remember that girl anymore. Jude then simply tells her that he has to remember that girl for her then. They make up, sharing a smile and a hug. He then admits to having one final present for her - but she might hate it.

Outside, he shows her a Little Mermaid themed bouncy house. He recalls how it was never truly a birthday unless their parents got her one of those. He apologizes, but Callie only shows genuine excitement, dragging him inside. They then have a good time jumping inside the bouncy house, laughing. They then invite everyone else in and they all have a great time, bouncing around and laughing.

Faith, Hope, Love

During family dinner, Mariana mentions how Jude is spending time at Connor's house and is expected to be back soon.

Jude overhearing Brandon's argument with Stef and Lena.

He is having dinner with his family, discussing Callie being removed from the house and Brandon's interview with the social worker regarding his relationship history with Callie. Jude asks if Brandon confirming his relationship with Callie being platonic would mean the "idiot judge" would allow Callie's adoption to finally go through. The answer among the table is yes. When Mariana complains about the man who sold her and Callie's stolen car is getting away with their $1,400, Stef tells her justice is not always served in the world. Jude adds on, "Just ask Callie." Stef says how they know how hard it is to lose Callie again, but she assures everyone thay everything will be worked out and that she is safe and sound with Rita.

Later, Jude overhears Brandon's rant to Stef and Lena. From this he learns that AJ and Callie kissed and that Stef and Lena are having problems in their marriage and they've taken up counselling. That night, he is in his room studying for his upcoming math test when AJ comes in the room, fresh from showering. AJ offers to help him study, but Jude snaps at him to be quiet so he can study.

In class the next day, Connor comes up to him and asks if he wants to go the beach. Jude turns him down and when his math test begins, he is unable to concentrate. Taking up his bag, he abruptly leaves class during the test. After he storms by Lena's office, Lena sees Jude and hurries out of her office. She asks why he isn't in class taking his math test. He bluntly says he doesn't feel like it. When Lena begins scolding him, he cuts her off by saying why he should care about a math test when his sister is back in the system and Stef and Lena are getting a divorce. He questions why he should care about anything and immediately leaves a surprised Lena.

Jude yelling at Lena.

He heads to Rita's house, asking to see Callie. He tells his sister how he messed up really bad, explaining how he just left during a math test and yelled at Lena. He admits he doesn't want to head home after what he did. She asks if he's afraid because he yelled, saying how she's put them through far worse. Jude asks what she thinks they may do, but she assures him every kid yells at their parent. Jude protests not kids like them. Callie says how he can't be afraid to speak his mind or make a mistake. She says every kid needs to learn to stand up for themselves, including him.

Jude-and-callie

Jude as Callie tells him he can't be afraid to make mistakes.

Rita steps in, saying how parents don't love you more if you're biologically related to them or not. She reminds him how his parents don't love him because he's easier to deal with or more quiet than his siblings, but because he's him. After she leaves, Jude tells Callie how moms are splitting up. She asks what brought him to that conclusion, and he tells her how he overheard Brandon's argument with them. Callie says how that doesn't mean they're splitting up and asks if they were directly arguing about splitting up. He says they were fighting about her and AJ. She asks what they told Brandon and he answers how AJ and her were caught kissing. After a moment, he asks why she keeps doing this.

After heading home, the family heads up to him. Jude immediately apologizes to Lena for yelling at her. He then requests if he could re-take his math test. Lena accepts his apology, but that the latter will be up to his teacher. She and Stef hug him, saying they're just glad he's okay. He then sees Connor behind them, asking why he's there. Connor says he wasn't answering his texts and was worried about him. Jude apologizes to him. Brandon then heads in, and asks what's going on. Mariana explains that Jude had a rough day. Brandon says he's sorry to hear that, patting him on the back.

Jude returning home after his rough day.

Later, he walks by Callie's room and hears her voice. He walks in, believing she is home. However, he instead sees Mariana watching a video that Callie recorded. He watches as Callie proceeds to tell her story in the video; explaining how she and her younger brother have been to seven different homes, one in which she was raped, had to damage a car to stop a foster father from beating her brother and went to juvie for it while the foster dad went unpunished. Mariana then takes Jude's hand as they continue watching.

She then says how she and her brother finally found a home where their foster mothers love and wished to adopt them. While her brother was successfully adopted, she was not. Callie tells the viewer how the judge is continuing to block her adoption without considering what she wants. She declares how such things are what make the foster system so flawed and how they need to call out the people wronging them directly by name in order to get the treatment to stop. She says they can't be afraid to speak up and that is why she is telling her story; with hopes it'll inspire other foster kids to tell theirs.

Jude and Mariana as they watch Callie's video - telling her story.

Jude asks what the video is for. Mariana explains Callie asked her to upload it to her web app. Jude is worried that Callie being so bold will only bring future problems, doubting she should post it. Mariana tells him it's too late - she already posted it. She points out the video already has thirty views and smiles at Jude. She then frowns when seeing his continued worried expression.

After this, Jude comes home after being dropped off by Adam after a visit to Connor's house. Lena greets him. However, he simply ignores the greeting and walks by straight to his room. When Lena asks Adam what happened, he admits to her how he walked into Connor's room - only to walk in on Jude and Connor making out with their shirts off. Following this conversation, Lena goes to Jude's room and sees him glumly laying in his bed on his side. He tells her that he and Connor "weren't really doing anything". Lena easily waves the situation off, much to his surprise, and Jude asks if he isn't in trouble. She tells him no, but he's going to wish he was.

Jude as Lena gives him "the talk".

Lena expresses how happy she is that he found a boyfriend as kind and wonderful as Connor is, and she begins to say what happens when sex comes into the picture for a couple. Jude cuts her off, saying he and Connor are not having sex. After hearing this, Lena is relieved, but says how she isn't sure how to explain "the logistics of two men being together", but that physical intimacy of any kind is a big deal and wants him to know how to care for himself when the time comes. Jude assures her how it won't for awhile. However, Lena then pulls out a condom from her pocket and asks Jude if he knows what it is. He says yes. She then asks him if he knows how one works, to which he simply looks at her.

Adam says Connor moving isn't his choice, claiming he is doing the best that he can, but that Connor was the one who asked to move in with his mom. Connor then comes back and, pausing, asks Jude if he'll see him tomorrow. Jude nods before being left alone with his thoughts.

  • Callie Adams Foster - Jude is Callie's younger half-brother as they share the same mother but a different father. They share a strong bond with each other, having had to rely heavily on each other during their six-year time period in the foster system. Callie often acted as a mother toward Jude, something that occasionally annoyed him following their arrival at the Adams Foster House. Their relationship faltered a few times, however, they ultimately remained extremely close. Callie was openly supportive of Jude's sexuality and liked almost all of his boyfriends, while Jude was supportive of her relationships - except for her one with Brandon. Jude was adopted into the Adams Foster Family before Callie due to complications with her biological father, which upset Jude. When Callie was finally adopted, he was thrilled and they were able to live together once more. They drifted apart during college, and due to Jude's emotional state and it being more of a challenge for her, Callie took a job offer in Los Angeles to be closer to him.

Trivia[]

  • The character made history as the youngest person to be featured in an LGBT kiss on television.
  • Jude is a person who is never rude or talks bad about anyone, according to his best friend Connor.
  • In Things Unknown, Jude's post-adoption birth certificate declared his new surname as "Adams Foster" and relegated his birth surname, "Jacob," to his middle name.
  • In Things Unknown, Jude's birth certificate reveals he was born at St. Abigail's Hospital located at 16752 N Kling St., San Diego, CA, 92109. This contradicts with Jude's revealed detail about being an at-home birth in Us Against The World.
  • It has been revealed by Hayden Byerly that Jude was originally going to be a transgender character and ponder whether he felt like he was a man or a woman inside a male's body (this is hinted at in the Pilot when Callie mentions Jude being beaten by their foster father when caught wearing a dress owned by the man's ex-wife). He was going to be a male-to-female transgender. However, the writers dropped this idea, instead deciding to explore the storyline elsewhere in the show, and opting to have Jude be a young boy exploring his own unique sexuality.
  • Lena's nickname for him is "Bubba".
  • Mariana's nickname for him is "Judicorn". He uses this nickname as his XBOX username.
  • It is mentioned that he has been to seven different schools by the seventh grade as a result of moving around so much in the foster system. (Although this detail is contradicted once in the series before being repeated again to be seven.)
  • It is implied that his first kiss and relationship is with Connor Stevens, his Ex Boyfriend.
  • Starting in seasons 2b, Jude begins to stand up for himself more as he becomes a more independent character, no longer letting people walk over him as he has in earlier episodes. This can be seen particularly with Callie whenever she coddles him, resulting in Jude telling her to stop or to leave him alone.
  • In It's My Party, it is shown that Jude likes ketchup on his tacos, a trait that actor Hayden Byerly also shares.
