People who have met Jeffrey Dean Morgan in person tend to get a certain vibe from him. He seems almost unapproachable or intimidating in a way, though that doesn't necessarily make fans rethink their loyalty to the talented actor. But when it comes to his home life, it seems Morgan exhibits very different personality traits.
In fact, he and his wife have two children together, and seeing Jeffrey Dean Morgan with his kids shows a totally different side of him. His sharing of family moments has also revealed quite a few things about his two children.
When Did Jeffrey Dean Morgan Marry Hilarie Burton?
There's been some confusion over the maternity of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's oldest child because he only recently married his wife. Though the two have been together since 2009, they waited an entire decade to get married; their nuptials took place in 2019.
Their first child, however, was born in 2010 - but both parents are the biological mom and dad of their son and daughter.
Who Are Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Kids?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilarie Burton have two children; their son Gus arrived in 2010, and their daughter George Virginia was born in 2018. Though their kids appear to be very close today, it seems that Jeffrey and Hilarie didn't intend to have their son and daughter so far apart.
In fact, when George arrived, Hilarie took to Instagram to share about the couple's struggles with infertility and pregnancy loss. It took them five years of trying, and multiple losses, to finally welcome their daughter.
Hilarie admitted she knows how lucky they are, that it finally worked out in their favor, but also opened up about the struggles of seeing other celebrity baby bumps while they were going through tough times. Ultimately, she hoped that sharing their experiences would give some other families hope.
What Kind Of Dad Is Jeffrey Dean Morgan?
Though he's played plenty of rough-and-tough characters on various TV shows, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a huge sweetheart in real life. His social media is filled with family photos and musings on their lives together.
Even when he's away from his wife and kids, JDM tends to post throwback photos of them and waxes a bit poetic about how much he loves his family.
It's a surprisingly adorable twist, given that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the same guy who's played characters like John Winchester in 'Supernatural' and, of course, Negan on 'The Walking Dead.' In fact, it turns out Jeffrey is probably a lot more like Denny from 'Grey's Anatomy' than any of his rougher roles.
It turns out that one relatively little-known fact about the couple is that Jeffrey helped deliver both his kids, as Hilarie had both babies naturally and with their daddy taking a very hands-on role. And, he's let his daughter paint his toenails, takes selfies while snuggling with his kids, and has no problem being either a girl dad or a total 'bro' to his tween son.
Gus And His Dad Have A Close Bond
It might be because Jeffrey Dean Morgan's son isn't yet an official "teen," but he seems to have a close relationship with his dad. Morgan often shares photos with his son Gus, whether they're road tripping together, flying on a private jet, or just hanging out at home.
The family lives on a full-on working farm, though they also have an apartment in the city, so the kids get plenty of time with furry and feathery critters, along with plenty of quality time with their dad. It's basically the ideal scenario to raise a family because they all get the best of both worlds, even though Morgan has admitted that life on the farm is totally crazy.
George Virginia Is Jeffrey's Princess
Because George is not only the couple's rainbow baby but also the apple of her daddy's eye, it's clear that Jeffrey Dean Morgan dotes on his little girl. He often reflects on milestones in her life, like her first ballet recital, but also calls out strong character traits in his confident little lady; she's passionate about animals and caring for just about anything that moves.
Of course, it's also clear that George looks like a mini replica of her mom, while the couple agrees Gus is a miniature of his dad. Apart from their looks, though, both kids seem to have inherited their parents' good will toward all living things, which is adorable and admirable. Only time will tell, however, whether either of the kids follows in their famous parents' acting footsteps.
