Hey there, friends. You might know Josh Brolin as the guy who plays some of the biggest superheroes in the Marvel movies—Deadpool, Cable, and even Thanos—but guess what? In real life, Josh isn’t just saving the world; he’s also raising a family. Yup, this Hollywood heartthrob is a superdad to four amazing kids: Trevor, Eden, Westlyn, and Chapel. And trust me, he couldn’t be prouder as he watches them grow into their own awesome selves.

Josh's First Chapter: Fatherhood with Alice Adair

Josh started his journey as a dad way back in 1988 when he tied the knot with his first wife, Alice Adair. That same year, they welcomed their first child, Trevor, into the world. Can you believe it? Josh was already a dad before many of us even knew who he was! Then, six years later, Alice and Josh expanded their family by welcoming their daughter, Eden. But like many relationships, their marriage didn’t last forever, and they called it quits in 1996. Still, the bond between Josh and his kids from this marriage remains strong.

Life with Diane Lane: Love Without Kids

Next up in Josh’s life was a romance with Diane Lane, the talented actress known for her role in "Unfaithful." They got married in 2004, but here’s the thing: even though they were deeply in love, they decided not to have kids together. Sometimes life just takes unexpected turns, right? Unfortunately, their marriage didn’t last, and they parted ways in 2013. But hey, that’s Hollywood for you—full of ups and downs.

The Love Story with Kathryn Boyd: A Growing Family

Fast forward to 2016, and Josh found love again with Kathryn Boyd, a stunning professional model. They tied the knot, and before you knew it, their family started growing. In 2018, just under two years after their wedding, they welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Westlyn. If you think that’s exciting, wait till you hear this: in December 2020, they added another beautiful daughter, Chapel, to their family. Talk about a growing brood!

Even though Josh has a packed schedule with all his Hollywood gigs, nothing takes priority over being a dad. When Josh and Kathryn announced their second pregnancy back in July 2020, you could feel their excitement through the screen. Kathryn shared a sweet post on social media, gushing, “The Brolin’s are a growin’!!” alongside a cute photo with Josh and Westlyn. “Our little December babe is on the way,” she wrote, spreading joy to everyone who saw it.

Grandpa James Brolin Joins the Celebration

Josh’s dad, James Brolin, couldn’t have been more thrilled about the news of his fourth grandchild. He and his wife, Barbra Streisand, were practically jumping for joy when Josh and Kathryn shared the big news. James opened up to Closer magazine in August 2020, saying, “First, they told us very early on and said, ‘Don’t tell anybody,’ and I think that’s because [Kathryn] wanted to have her sonograms back and be sure of everything.”

And when they discovered it was another girl? Well, let’s just say James couldn’t contain his excitement. “When they found out it was another girl and [they] told us, we just were jumping up and down,” he said. James, who adores his granddaughter Westlyn, is beyond thrilled about having another little one to spoil. “You get another one like this one, there couldn’t be anything better!” he added.
