He is frequently at odds with his stepfather, Clay Morrow, who has taken over the club since John's death and is now married to Jax's mother and John's widow, Gemma Teller Morrow. Jax also grapples with his relationships with his high school sweetheart, Tara Knowles, and his childhood best friend, Opie Winston.
