While the family might have established their roots in Austin, Jensen and Danneel also enjoy taking their kids on the road. The Ackles crew took a trip to Disneyland in March 2022 to celebrate Danneel’s birthday, where they posed in front of the castle and even rode a few roller coasters.

“It was @danneelackles512 birthday yesterday and in keeping with tradition…she gave the celebration to the kids,” Jensen captioned a carousel ofimagesfrom the day.

In April 2022, Danneel posted a photo of the fivesome in New Orleans, where the couple were filming their highly anticipatedSupernaturalspinoff,The Winchesters.

JJ recently walked alongside her dad forher first red carpetat the premiere of the Disney+ movieZombies 3. “Proud papa moment,” the actor captioned a sweet Instagrampost. “Took JJ to her first “Hollywood Premier.” She walked the carpet like a pro (a pro that held on tight to her dad).”

Supernaturalfans can actually thank JJ for helpingget her dad on Instagram— she inspired Jensen to create his account when she was just 2 years old! “In an effort 2 squash some posers, my daughter is helping me start an Instagram,” Jensen joked onTwitterin 2015. “Chk it out. Hint: it’s just my name.” His very first post on the platform was a cutesnapof him and JJ, captioned “Hello Instagram.”

In honor of JJ’s 10th birthday in May 2023, Jensen shared a father-daughterselfieon Instagram as well as a photo of his little girl looking all grown up.

“10yrs old today. A whole decade. I can’t. What is happening?!” he wrote. “Welp…Happy Birthday, Birdie. I love you forever🫶🏼.”

On Dec. 2, 2016,Jensen and Danneel welcomeda son, Zeppelin Bram, and a daughter, Arrow Rhodes, into the world.

While Danneel was the one to announce JJ’s birth, this time it was Jensen who shared the good news onInstagram. “Danneel, JJ and I are excited to announce the birth of our twins Zeppelin Bram and Arrow Rhodes,” he wrote next to a photo of Dr. Seuss' Thing 1 and Thing 2. “They were born early yesterday morning. Everyone is doing great! #twinning.”

And while it might seem like the couple gave Zeppelin his name after the iconic bandLed Zeppelin, it turns out the moniker’s inspiration has little to do with rock music.

Jensen later explained during an appearance onLive with Kelly and Ryanthat the pair’s own unique names influenced those of their three children, and that ittook him and Danneel two daysto come up with “Zeppelin.”

“When the doctor pulled Zeppelin out, his umbilical cord was tied into a knot. Which could be very dangerous but luckily it was a very loose knot and nothing was happening, he was totally fine.”

After it was confirmed that the boy was doing okay, the moment stuck with Jensen, who then turned to a “sailing-knot site” to browse a list of knot names. “And at the very end was the Zeppelin bend, which was the knot they used to tether the Zeppelin blimps to the ground,” he explained.

TheWinchestersstar quickly showed a knack for daddy double-duty, as Danneel showcased in a snap she posted on Instagram of her #ManCrushMonday showing off his parenting skills while feeding both twins at the same time.

Jensen is a very protective father, and has been vocal about how theUvalde school shootingleft a mark on him. When the twins graduated from preschool in June 2022,he told USA Today: “I was celebrating them and excited for them, but at the same time, in the back of my head, I was like, ‘I’m glad I don’t have to put my kids back in school for the next however long.’ "

The duo is already getting their young children involved with activism. In June 2021, Danneel shared aphotoof her and the three kids posing under a rainbow while wearing Pride shirts.

“Happy Pride! 🌈 Our family is celebrating the values we hold true all year. Inclusion, Diversity, and Love. We strive to always give acceptance to those around us. We honor all of those in the LGBTQIA community. To our friends, work colleagues and family members…we love you! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧,” she captioned the post.

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the family also wrote and shared sweet messages in support of healthcare workers, which Danneel posted toInstagramwith the caption, “We want to take a moment to thank the Healthcare Workers and Essential Workers throughout the world. From our family to yours….We love you!
