Personal life

Ryan married Janna Little, a tax attorney,[23] in 2000.[243] Little, a native of Oklahoma, is a graduate of Wellesley College, and George Washington University Law School.[23] Her cousin is former Democratic Representative Dan Boren, also of Oklahoma.[244] The Ryans live in the Courthouse Hill Historic District of Janesville, Wisconsin.[20] They have three children: Liza, Charles, and Sam.[245] A Roman Catholic, Ryan is a member of St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Janesville, and was an altar boy.[246][247]

On edit - different Borens...

On edit 2 - Dan Boren is David's son, so David is Janna Ryan's uncle.
