Steven Spielberg | Theo & Mikaela

If you’re viewing this, you already know that Steven Spielberg’s work has touched your life in some way. Besides his fantastic film investments, the legendary director is also a family guy with seven incredible children. The man who produced E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and enthralled viewers with films such as Jaws and Jurassic Park have also found time to be an amazing father to his kids.

Theo joined the Spielberg/Capshaw team when Spielberg adopted him as his son after getting married to Kate Capshaw. Like his siblings, he has served in the film industry as a talent associate on shows such as Saturday Night Live and Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never documentary. Theo is also the other half of the indie duo Wardell. Capshaw and Spielberg also adopted Mikaela George in addition to their three biological children. Mikaela was born in February 1996, just ten months before her sister Destry.

George Lucas | Amanda, Katie & Jett

George Lucas didn’t spend all of his time working on Star Wars, but he still managed to raise a family. He adopted her daughter Amanda Lucas with his first partner, film editor Marcia Lou Griffin. Unfortunately, their marriage ended just two years later. Lucas went on to foster two more children as a single parent, Katie Lucas in 1988 and Jett Lucas in 1993.

While the Lucas children will not inherit a large fortune from their father’s investments, they are unlikely to mind because they now have their careers and benefit from being a part of the Star Wars universe. Amanda was an MMA fighter for several years before giving birth to her son in 2014. Katie is a screenwriter who has worked on many episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, while Jett continues to work in the film industry. All three have been supporters of the Star Wars franchise since they were young, even acting minor roles in the films when they were teenagers.

Ronald Reagan | Michael Reagan

It was January 26, 1940, when Ronald Reagan married Jane Wyman, a well-known actress. They would have a daughter named Maureen about a year later. She had always wished for a child, and on March 21, 1945, her wish came true when the couple adopted Michael, who was only three days old at the time. Today, Michael has raised millions of dollars for charities such as the United States Olympic Team and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

He also contributed to a nationally syndicated newspaper column and wrote best-selling books like On the Outside Looking In and Twice Adopted. For 17 years, he anchored a nationally syndicated weekday talk radio program. Michael hosted talk radio shows for 26 years in total. He is the chairman and president of the Reagan Legacy Foundation, which promotes President Reagan’s causes. He’s marking his degree as Reagan’s son while continuing his father’s public service legacy.

Ewan McGregor | Jamyan & Anouk

Apart from Sean Connery, Ewan Gordon McGregor is probably the most well-known Scottish star. With his outstanding acting skills and determination to play every character convincingly, it’s no surprise that he was able to achieve a remarkable degree of fame in such a short period. He has undoubtedly established himself as one of the most influential actors in the world since successfully breaking into the Hollywood film industry.

Up until recently, no one knew that McGregor was a father. We weren’t sure because the Star Wars actor keeps his personal life relatively private. McGregor and Mavrakis welcomed their first child, Clara, 22, shortly after they married, and Esther, 16, followed a few years later. Jamyan, a 4-year-old Mongolian girl, was adopted by the couple in 2006, and their youngest daughter, Anouk, arrived in 2011. Even when conflict and emotions are running high, Ewan has said that he has always tried to make sure that each of his daughters feels very special to him. After all, they’re his daughters, and they’re the most important in his life.

John McCain | Doug & Andrew

John McCain accomplished a lot in his life, from serving his country as a congressman and a military officer to being an amazing father to his seven children. John married Carol in 1965. Carol was a single mother at the time, with two sons, Doug and Andy, whom John would later adopt. The couple welcomed their first child together within their first year of marriage. Unfortunately, the couple split up in 1980.

McCain’s older child, Doug McCain, was Carol McCain’s first of two sons from her first marriage. Doug, like his father, went on to become a Navy pilot and is now a captain for American Airlines. Andy, Carol’s youngest son, chose to take a direction that was profoundly entwined with his adopted father’s life but in a way that was distinct from his brother’s. Andy began working for Hensley Beer Company after graduating from Vanderbilt with a bachelor’s degree in Arts and an MBA in Mathematics.

Neve Campbell | Raynor

Celebrities have a long history of adopting children. On the other hand, Actress Neve Campbell chose to adopt a child because she has always wanted to be a mother. The actress and her boyfriend, JJ Field, are proud parents of two children. The couple has been together since 2012, and Caspian, their first child, was born in that year.

Raynor, who was adopted, joined the lovely family six years later. The actress wrote on Instagram after the completion of the process that welcoming Raynor was the “most amazing thing they have ever encountered.” Caspian is now eight years old, and Raynor is two, making Campbell a full-time mother of two children of somewhat different but equally challenging ages. That hasn’t stopped her from working, and after a brief break, she is back in full swing. Neve is content with her family and investments, which she wouldn’t trade for anything.

Jane Fonda | Mary Williams

Jane Fonda has been a celebrity her whole life. The Hollywood legend has received two Academy Awards, been chastised for her extreme political beliefs, and built a fitness empire. Even though the actress has maintained a degree of fame throughout her career, one aspect of the former wife of billionaire Ted Turner might surprise others: Fonda has a third daughter, Mary Williams, in addition to her two biological children.

Mary was moved from East Oakland to Fonda’s estate in Santa Monica when she was 14 years old. It wasn’t just that a wealthy family saved a poor girl from a broken home, but Fonda and Mary had a bond because they were similar. Lulu became involved in advocacy as an adult, establishing the Lost Boys Foundation, which deals with Sudan’s Lost Boys. In a children’s book called Brothers in Hope: The Story of the Lost Boys of Sudan, she wrote about her own experience.

Woody Allen | Dylan, Moses, Bechen, & Manzie

Woody Allen is an American film director and author best known for his romantic comedies with slapstick and parody elements. While he acquired a great degree of fame for his works like Annie Hall and Manhattan, he also serves as a dad to his children. When Woody and Mia Farrow were still dating, Mia adopted Dylan when he was two weeks old. Dylan now works as a writer and has released her first book, Hush.

Mia also adopted Moses, a two-year-old son from South Korea, in 1980. Moses was one of the three kids whose care was at the core of the court case after Mia and Woody’s separation. Speaking of Allen, he moved on and got married to Soon-Yi. The couple then adopted Bechen from China and Manzie from Texas. Though Bechet and Manzie have never spoken to the press, they often post pictures of their parents on social media.

Barbara Walters | Jackie Danforth

Barbara Walters was a prominent star in the world of journalism by the late 1960s. Walters had already established her degree of credibility as a reporter for The Today Show and had her views anchored on the morning show, but there was one title she aspired to above all others: mother.

Walters and her then-husband Lee Guber had attempted but failed to conceive a child. After three losses, the couple decided to try adoption, and in 1968, they welcomed Jackie into their family. Walters kept the specifics of Jackie’s adoption a secret at first, but she has gradually opened up about her path to motherhood over the years. Jackie went home with Walters and Guber when she was four days old, and she has been the joy of her mother’s life ever since. Growing up with famous parents was never easy for Jackie, but they managed to mend their relationship.

Jamie Lee Curtis | Annie & Thomas

Jamie Lee Curtis, the original scream queen, may be best known as Lindsay Lohan’s mother in Freaky Friday, but she is the best mom to her children. The actress wanted to be a mother, so she and her husband, Christopher Guest, adopted their kids, Annie and Thomas Guest. Curtis and Guest welcomed their daughter Annie in 1986, almost immediately after she was born. However, not all celebrity children fall in their parents’ footsteps. Annie didn’t follow in her mother’s footsteps in Hollywood, but she did pursue a career in the arts.

Annie began teaching dance at the age of 16 and graduated from Kenyon College with a degree in dance. She became a professional dance teacher and team member at the MNR Dance Factory in Los Angeles. In 1996, the couple welcomed their son Thomas, who, like his sister, has chosen not to work in the family business. However, he has pursued a career in the arts and now works for a gaming business. Curtis is an empty nester now that her daughter is married and her son has a job. At the very least, she has Guest by her side, as she always does.
