Owen Wilsonmay be one of Hollywood’s most famous bachelors — but he is also a dad.

The actor is a father of three children: sons Ford and Finn, and daughter Lyla. He welcomed his first child, a son named Ford, in January 2011 with then-girlfriend Jade Duell. Three years later, in January 2014, Wilson had a second son, Finn, with trainer Caroline Lindqvist. In October 2018, a source confirmed to PEOPLE thatWilson also fathered a daughter named Lylawith Varunie Vongsvirates.

Though Wilson is not in a relationship with any of his children’s mothers, the actorrevealed toEsquirein 2021 that he lives near his two sons and everyone “gets along.”

“Sometimes it feels like I’m already seeing how they’re gonna be as teenagers,” Wilsontold Ellen DeGeneresabout life with his boys Ford and Finn. “Where they’re gonna be ganging up on me.”

While prepping for his role as a Bob Ross-like artist in the 2023 moviePaint, Wilson told PEOPLE that he and his two sons took an art class together. “I took one of those Bob Ross painting classeswith my two boys,” he said. “All three of us did a similar mountainscape and I think they turned out pretty good.”

Wilson isn’t often photographed out and about with his kids, but in April 2024, he was spottedwith Ford and Finnat a soccer game at BMO Stadium, watching the Los Angeles Football Club’s game against the New York Red Bulls.

Here’s everything to know about the actor’s three children: Ford, Finn and Lyla.

“It seems surreal that this tiny human being is now here — and I’m thinking about all the great adventures he has ahead of him,” Wilson toldParentsmagazine shortly after his son’s birth.

As a first-time dad, Wilson was quickly enamored with his newborn son. When Ford was just 6 weeks old, the actor told Jay Leno thathe was already “a little scene stealer”— despite not even being able to talk.

“He’s not, I wouldn’t say, a wonderful conversationalist at this point, but he kind of doesn’t have to be, he’s so cute,” Wilson said on theTonight Show With Jay Leno.

TheMarley and Mestar also embraced fatherhood head-on, changing diapers right from the beginning — despite having no prior experience with babies.

As Ford grew older, Wilson marveled at his fearless, daredevil personality. In a June 2017 appearance onThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, he told the talk show host how Ford was already giving him a run for his money at just 6 years old.

“Ford seems like he might evenbe a little stunt man in training,” Wilson said, while sharing a video of his eldest child doing a belly flop into a pool off of a diving board. “He’s a big Jackie Chan fan.”

And it seems that his older son has inherited his comedic abilities. “Anything Ford says is just the funniest thing ever,” Wilson told DeGeneres. “And I can make a joke and it’s, like, crickets.”

In October 2013, it was revealed that Wilson was expecting a second son with his one-time personal trainer Caroline Lindqvist. The two were not a couple and the pregnancy was “not planned,” a source told PEOPLE — but Wilson and Lindqvist were “both excited.”

“They are not living together, but Owen is involved,” the source told PEOPLE. “He comes to doctor’s appointments and makes sure Caroline is doing well.”

On Jan. 30, 2014, Wilson’s second son, Finn Lindqvist Wilson, was born in Los Angeles. The father of two revealed in an appearance onTheEllen DeGeneresShowthat Ford, who was 3 when Finn was born, took to being a big brother right away.

And the feeling was mutual: As they have grown up, Wilson shared that Finn idolized his older brother. The actor joked with DeGeneres that Finn’s nickname was “Me Too,” because of how much he wanted to be like his big brother Ford.
