Josh Brolin's 4 Kids: All About Trevor, Eden, Westlyn and Chapel

Josh Brolin may have played Marvel’s main villain Thanos, but in real life, he’s a caring father of four.

The The Avengers star married his first wife, Alice Adair, in 1988. In the same year, the couple had a son, Trevor. Their daughter, Eden, followed in 1994, and they divorced soon after. Despite the divorce, the co-parents remained close.

“She was the mother of my children,” he said The Guardian in 2014. “I’m still best friends with her. I ended up having two great kids, so it worked out okay.”

Josh remarried in 2004 to actress Diane Lane, but the two divorced nine years later. That same year, Josh began dating his personal assistant, Kathryn Boyd Brolin. The couple married in 2016, and two years later had their first child together, daughter Westlyn Reign. Their second daughter, Chapel Grace, was born in 2020.

“I’m going to live my whole life full of children and that’s wonderful,” he said in an interview with Fatherly 2021.. In that same interview, Kathryn praised her husband’s parenting skills, telling the paper: “I’ve seen him transform into this new father figure and immediately fall into this wonderful place of taking care of this baby. He is naturally so happy with children.”

Trevor Mansur Brolin was born on June 26, 1988 in the family of Josh and his first wife Alice. Josh was only 20 and Alice 22 at the time.

“I was about to give birth to my first child. And everyone told me I shouldn’t,” he said The Guardian. “I was an idiot. Nineteen year old riding a Harley-Davidson, so embarrassingly stupid. But she got pregnant and it happened.”

He continued: “It was a good year. That was my favorite year. It was a year in which my whole life changed. I had children and started doing theater.”

Despite coming from a well-established acting family – his grandfather is James Brolin – Trevor chose not to go into the field. However, he stayed in the entertainment industry with his job at Revel, a venue that offers everything from live music to game nights in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

He is also a talented artist and his father regularly shares pictures of his artwork on social media. Josh even got a tattoo of a rabbit that looks like Trevor designed it.

In June 2022, Josh posted a sweet birthday card for his son on Instagram. “Trevor, my first born. I cannot express the depth of my respect for you,” he wrote alongside a childhood photo of his only son. “I don’t know anyone like you and I like it that way. You never saw things in a way that didn’t move or amaze me, and being your dad, man, is the biggest lottery I could ever win. I love you very much Happy Birthday.”

Josh and Alice welcomed their second child together, daughter Eden Brolin, on November 30, 1994. The couple divorced the same year, but remained close friends and co-parents.

In a conversation with Fatherly, the actor explained how he managed to juggle a rising Hollywood career alongside fatherhood. “When I had older kids, when they were young, I was really into it. I’ve always loved being a dad. But I was always worried that I wouldn’t work,” he said. “The day after Eden was born, I was on a plane to New York to be a pilot. It was horrible.”

Eden grew up in Los Angeles and quickly followed in her father’s footsteps. At the age of 14, she debuted as an actress in a short film, X. She has appeared in several films and TV shows including Yellowstone.

Along with TV and movies, Eden is very interested in music. She has been playing the piano since the age of 7 and is the singer of the indie pop band Atta Boy.

On May 1, 2022, she and fellow actor Cameron Crosby married after three years together. Josh announced the news the next day on Instagram, calling it “the biggest, most intimate wedding ceremony I’ve ever seen.”

Along with a photo of him and Eden on their way to the ceremony, he shared a lengthy and heartfelt post. “My daughter last night, my God, and her groom: awe,” he wrote. “I am so grateful for this time and this place that I can have this time. The nicest people there. I have young children to re-raise, entire lives to monitor and be sensitive to.”

Continuing, he thought about giving her away on her big day. “I stayed and walked my daughter across the grassy village to the commitment – a groom with tears running down his cheeks – and I melted into it, into it,” he added.

Two years after Josh and his wife Kathryn said “I do,” the couple welcomed their first child together. Westlyn Reign Brolin was born on November 3, 2018.

Josh announced the news with a photo of his daughter on Instagram. “I would like to introduce our little girl Westlyn Reign Brolin (Bean). Mama Kathryn was amazing during this amazing birth and Bean is a total flawless gem,” he wrote, adding, “We are blessed to the core.”

After her birth, Josh took extended paternity leave to spend time with the newborn. “He dropped everything,” his father James told PEOPLE in April 2019, adding that Josh had done “nothing but diapers for three months.”

Josh confirmed this, telling Fatherly, “This time I took 17 months off to be with Kathryn throughout my pregnancy and until the baby was four months old.”

Since then, Josh has continued to share his hands-on approach to parenting. The actor even went so far as to sit on a tiny pink toilet to help his daughter potty train in May 2021. He shared the hilarious moment in an Instagram photo of himself crouching on the tiny toilet while Westlyn stands next to him, writing: “There’s nothing like the power of example.”

More than a year later, Dune the star celebrated his daughter’s 4th birthday on Instagram with a photo of his two little girls. “Happy 4th to our Lil Bean,” he wrote. “You move mountains in us, girl; cultivate the ultimate magnificent worlds with your imagination; and makes us giggle so simply when we least expect it. Papa Bear loves your crazy train.”

Now 6 years old, Westlyn is already showing signs of interest in the entertainment industry. In May 2023, Josh shared a sweet series of photos of her first dance recital on his Instagram Story. “So proud of my baby girl at her first dance recital 🎉🎉💎💎❤️,” he captioned one photo, showing Westlyn wearing a sparkly purple leotard and smiling for the camera.

In July 2020, Josh and Kathryn announced that they were expecting baby number two. Their daughter Chapel Grace Brolin was born that Christmas, December 25, 2020.

A few days after her birth, Josh took to Instagram to share the special meaning behind her name. “Wherever we traveled, the one place where Kathryn and I always found great comfort was the chapels,” he wrote.

“Because they are not particularly religious, but it is God who strongly overflows our lives, chapels have always been the shrines where we felt most connected and free to give thanks,” he continued. “Chapel Grace is for us a manifestation of that heavenly feeling that has always been felt we were twisting and kneeling.”

Just before her first birthday, Josh shared a sweet black and white photo of him and Chapel on Instagram with the caption: “My littlest, my diamond heart. Your smiles are wild and your laughter eruptive for a child.” He continued with a lengthy tribute to his youngest child, calling her a “membrane of unadulterated joy.”

When Chapel was 2 years old, she, her mom, and older sister Westlyn joined Josh on location as he filmed Dina: part 2.

“We climbed the dunes every day. It was great,” he said during a guest appearance on Good morning America in February 2024 “When you first end up in the desert, you feel so insignificant because we were 2 and a half hours south of Abu Dhabi. So it was a hundred kilometers of just sand.”
