Jennifer Rovero (born December 12, 1978) was chosen as Playboy's Playmate of the Month in July 1999 and has appeared in numerous Playboy videos. She appeared as the cover model of the October 1999 edition.

[edit] Early years

Jennifer Rovero was born in Austin, Texas, but during her childhood, she and her younger sister, Jamie, lived in Texas, California and Florida. Most of her time was eventually spent in Jacksonville, Florida, where she graduated from Mandarin High School in 1997.^[1]

[edit] Modeling

Rovero entered and won the 1998 Miss Fiesta Playera pageant in Jacksonville Beach,^[2] which gave her the confidence to compete in Hawaiian Tropic swimsuit contests around the country. At the Hawaiian Tropic contest in Las Vegas, she was talking to photographer Arny Freytag. Rovero suggested that the beautiful countryside in Venezuela would be a nice place for a Hawaiian Tropic shoot. She was familiar with the country because her father, Raimundo, was a citizen and lived there. Freytag, besides being a respected swimsuit photographer, had taken over 100 centerfold photos for Playboy since 1975. Freytag suggested that he take pictures of her in Venezuela.^[1]

[edit] Playboy

The pictures were taken and forwarded to Playboy. The magazine requested a second test shoot, which was provided. On Independence Day in 1998, Rovero met publisher Hugh Hefner at The Playboy Mansion. Obviously, the meeting went well.^[1]

Her centerfold spread was shot in October, 1998 in California and contained 20-pictures. Rovero had no objections to nudity. Her mother, Leslie, was quoted that she raised both her daughters to be open minded about such things. The only real problem came when the photographers asked her to pose with a cat. Rovero has a feline allergy, and within 30 minutes her face was red and puffy, causing the session to be canceled.^[1] Playmate of the Month required a two-year contract with the magazine. Rovero is taking acting lessons in Los Angeles, where she now lives.

[edit] Personal

Rovero called herself Forrest Gump because she kept finding herself in interesting situations.^[1]

For a while, Jennifer dated Fred Durst, front man for the band Limp Bizkit (both originally from Jacksonville, Florida).^[1] She eventually settled down with longtime partner Jason B. Bergh and the couple has two children.^[3]
