Jennette McCurdy didn't learn that Mark McCurdy wasn't her biological father until she was an adult. According to what she writes in "I'm Glad My Mom Died," Jennette's mother, Debra, kept the fact that she and two of her brothers were actually the product of an affair a secret for her entire life. It wasn't until after Debra had died that Mark told Jennette the truth. "The lack of answers, of any semblance of closure, is infuriating," she wrote (via PopSugar).
McCurdy says that she met her biological father, who knows about her and her siblings, but was prevented from having a relationship with him due to a custody battle when the kids were little. According to the book, her friend and former "iCarly" co-star Miranda Cosgrove went with her (via Us Weekly).
Though McCurdy's relationship with her dad was not nearly as difficult as the one with her mom, it seems as though she's grown distant from him over the years, as well.
