Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s two kids, Jack and Isabella, are getting a “proper” British upbringing from their famous parents.

The couple — who met at a party in 2009 — live in London with their son and daughter, who were born in 2017 and 2022, respectively. According to the supermodel, who grew up on a farm in Devon, it was important for both her and Statham, who is from Derbyshire, to raise their family in England.

“I’ve always wanted to raise my children in the U.K., for them to be educated here,” she told Elle U.K. in March 2021. “There’s not much grit in [Los Angeles].”

Aside from desiring her children to be resilient and outdoorsy, Huntington-Whiteley has shared how moving away from Hollywood was essential to giving Jack and Isabella a sense of normalcy.

“We wanted our kids to have a childhood away from cameras as much as we could,” she said in an October 2024 interview with The Telegraph. “We made a rule that we wouldn’t share their faces on social media, and we’re not going to walk down the red carpet with them.”

Here’s everything to know about Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s two kids, Jack and Isabella.

Statham and Huntington-Whiteley welcomed their first child together, son Jack Oscar Statham, on June 24, 2017.

A few days later, the model announced the news on Instagram. “Our little man arrived! Jack Oscar Statham – 8.8lbs on Saturday June 24th,” she wrote alongside a black-and-white photo of his hand around her finger.

In January 2018, she opened up about motherhood, calling it “life-changing,” in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar U.K. “It sounds so clichéd, but it’s just been the most magical experience,” she said. “Everything feels so special and sweet and wholesome and loving.”

As for Statham, who she called “the best dad,” she noted that starting a family has brought them closer together. “I can’t even put it into words,” she said. “It’s really a beautiful thing to watch.”

When Jack was born, Statham and Huntington-Whiteley were living in Malibu, but the model always knew she wanted to move back to England.

“I miss the people. The British culture and humor,” she admitted to Grazia in November 2019. “Since becoming a mother, I have found a growing desire to be close to my roots. I’m very proud to be British and I think the U.K. is a really special place to raise a family.”

That cultural pride was especially apparent during a Q&A session on her Instagram Stories in April 2020 when she boasted about Jack’s burgeoning language skills. When one fan asked if he had an American inflection, she wrote back, “I’m really proud to say he has a proper English accent and he does have the same booming loud voice as Jason, the pair of them are sooo noisy!!”

Given their desire for privacy, it comes as no surprise that Statham and Huntington-Whiteley have been careful not to share too much about Jack on social media.

“I think he’s the cutest thing in the world,” the proud mom told PEOPLE in November 2019. But while she may want to show him off, she’s mindful that he “might not want to have his face all over the internet.”

During her Instagram Stories Q&A, however, she did share which of his parents he resembles more. “He looks very much like me when I was young but with Jason’s eye color!” she told fans.

But Statham’s eyes and loud voice aren’t the only things Jack has inherited from his famous father — at least, Huntington-Whiteley hopes not.

“He’s got that real groundedness and I love the fact he will pass that on to our child as well,” she told Elle U.K..

Unfortunately, Jack seems to have gotten his dad’s (and mom’s!) stubborn side as well. “I’ve never liked being told what to do,” she said. “I see it with my son now.”

She continued, “And Jason’s the same … we’re both incredibly headstrong. And now we’ve got this three-year-old headstrong little guy, so it can be combative in our household, for sure.”

That being said, Statham has described himself as a “big softie” when it comes to his children. While speaking to Access Hollywood in 2019, the Hobbs & Shaw actor admitted that his then 2-year-old son was able to get away with more with him rather than his mom.

“I think guidance is good and I think dads are always a little bit [less strict],” he said. “I always feel that mothers do a better job at [structure] than dads.”

In August 2021, Huntington-Whiteley revealed that she and Statham were expecting baby number two with a series of mirror selfies on Instagram.

On Feb. 2, 2022, the couple welcomed their daughter, Isabella James Statham, who they affectionately refer to as “Bella.” “My heart is very full,” Huntington-Whiteley responded to a fan asking in an Instagram Stories Q&A how she was adjusting to being a mom of two. “Very happy and grateful to have two healthy babes.”

In response to another fan, the Mad Max actress expressed gratitude for her family and noted that she was calmer with her daughter, saying, “Second time round I feel much more confident and relaxed.”

For Huntington-Whiteley, one of the best things about welcoming another child has been watching Jack grow as a big brother.

In August 2022, she shared a sweet video of her two kids playing on Instagram. “My little loves,” she wrote. “I knew these two would have a strong bond but I didn’t know what the transition to big brother would look like. Six months in, nothing warms my heart more than seeing Jack with his baby sister.”

She shared a similar sentiment in a June 2023 interview with CR Fashion Book. Whether Jack and Isabella are getting along or butting heads, she loves seeing their sibling bond grow. “Watching your children together is the most special experience,” she said.

Despite her love of being a mom, Huntington-Whiteley has acknowledged the difficulty of balancing her career with her children, telling PEOPLE in 2019 that it was “definitely a challenge.”

However, instead of feeling guilty about her time away from home, Huntington-Whiteley wants her work ethic to serve as an inspiration for her daughter.

“I want her to feel a sense of purpose and to be happy,” she told The Telegraph in 2024. “I look at my life and I kind of think I’m there. I hope, as she grows up, that I can be a role model for her achieving whatever it is that she may want to.”

Roseanne Barr reveals heart issue, fears she’ll die during surgery

Roseanne Barr received a stark diagnosis — a “damaged” heart — a warning that left her fearing she could “die on the surgery table.”

Barr, 73, opened up about her health while talking about the “ponytail facelift” she wanted to get.

“This doctor says I have to go get my heart checked out because it’s damaged,” the actress said during an appearance on her podcast, “The Roseanne Barr Podcast.” “So now I’m so pissed. Because I’m like, I need a new doctor.”

“He’s always sending me to other doctors to check me out,” she added. “And I’m like, why do I have to go find something wrong when nothing’s wrong and then get in shape just so I can have surgery and die on the surgery table?”

Barr doubled down, saying the prospect of surgery didn’t make sense to her.

“I mean, it doesn’t make any sense,” she said. “I would rather not get ready for any sort of surgery ever again in my life and just, you know, get a heart attack or a stroke and then just be put into the home. What do they call that place? Hospice.”

The candid remarks offered a glimpse into her mindset on aging and end-of-life care, a contrast to the more grounded, day-to-day life she’s built in recent years. Barr opened up about her move to Texas and the joys she’s experienced since making the lifestyle change and being outdoors in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.

Although it has been a “dream come true” for the “Roseanne Barr is America” star, Barr shared that while mowing her property, her tractor fell on top of her and trapped her underneath the weight of the machine.

“I’m doing a lot of mowing. I’ve got a really fantastic tractor out here, and I’m mowing. The only problem is I don’t clear the trees quite as good as I should, and I’m always hitting a tree and knocking it over, and it always hits me in the head.

“So, I’ve had several injuries recently. I had this one tree … I knocked it and a great big old branch fell right on my head and trapped me in my tractor,” Barr said. “So I knew I had to get out of there, and it weighed about a hundred pounds.”

Barr explained that it took her an hour to move the tree “inch by inch” before she was able to flip it over.

Ahead of the release of the documentary, “Roseanne Barr is America,” in 2025, Barr told Fox News Digital that her life is a representation of the American experience.

“I went from poverty to wealth through comedy. That’s a typical Jewish-American experience in my generation and a few other generations for minority people that are funny. I think it’s typical, you know,” she said.

A stand-up comic turned household name, Barr skyrocketed to fame with her hit ABC sitcom “Roseanne.” In 2018, Barr was essentially canceled after tweeting a racist remark about Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.

Barr faced an onslaught of backlash for the tweet, leading to smears from her co-stars and ABC canceling the revival of her hit namesake show “Roseanne,” instead televising the spin-off series “The Conners.”

The comedian admitted she doesn’t keep in touch with any of her former co-stars.

“No, I’m not friends with none of them,” Barr told Fox News Digital. “They’re all in the past. I have pleasant memories of what fun we had — wish them all the best. And no, we don’t talk. I’ve moved on from that horrendous ending and chapter of my life, but you know, I don’t hold any bitterness or nothing to them, but my God, what fun we had on that show.

“And I was sorry they f—ed it all up with their greed and ridiculous stupidity to f— all that up. F— them, but I wish them well,” she said.

Amanda Peet exposes ‘desperation galore’ behind Hollywood fame

wp content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F3%2F2026%2F03%2Fnewspress collage 6hsbab2f5 1774932497734

Amanda Peet is pulling back the threadbare curtain on life underneath the spotlight.

The 54-year-old actress called out Hollywood as nothing but “smoke and mirrors.”

“It’s ridiculous,” Peet told Fox News Digital when asked about the “biggest misconception” of stars having a “perfect life” in Hollywood. “It’s smoke and mirrors. There’s no there there. I mean you name the aphorism, it applies to us. It’s desperation galore. ‘What are they doing over there? Why don’t I have that? Why don’t I look like that?’ That’s the bad part.”

She continued, “In Hollywood, it’s hard to — I’m gonna just sound corny. It’s competitive, and it’s hard to get out of that really sort of competitive mindset where the piece of cheese on the island is too small and there are too many people going after it.”

The “Something’s Gotta Give” actress added that aging in the youth-obsessed industry isn’t easy either.

“I’m older, so I have much more peace about it, but it’s really, really hard to find that, and it is hard not to want to chase your own buzz if you are lucky enough to have any, and instead, just be like, ‘What do I really want to do when my alarm goes off in the morning? What do I want to be doing? Is this really what I want to be doing? Is this really helpful or useful to anyone?’”

Peet is starring in the second season of Apple TV’s “Your Friends & Neighbors,” which premieres on Friday, April 3 with one new episode each week through June 5.

She said fans can expect a “lot more” from Season 2.

“Then also there’s the issue of Coop having this secret life,” Peet said of Jon Hamm’s character who plays her ex-husband on the show.

“And I think this season, one too many people are starting to get an inkling that something’s going on with Coop,” she continued. “And so it gets more and more dangerous for him to keep doing what he’s doing, which is incredibly exciting. And then [her character] Mel and Coop are still in this kind of like, will they, won’t they? They’re so p—ed off at each other, but they still seem to wanna f— each other. So yeah, it’s just really a whole big hot mess.”

Peet said she also appreciated a storyline where her character deals with going into menopause, which she said was cathartic for her.

“It was very cathartic to be able to put my own menopausal frustrations and rage into an appropriate situation, namely be acting out as a character instead of in my own life,” Peet revealed.

The actress has also been open about her breast cancer diagnosis, which she announced earlier this month.

She told Fox News Digital that when she first heard the news, her thoughts were filled with “terror.”

“My children and terror,” she admitted.

Peet said she made the decision to not tell her dying mother “because she wasn’t well for so long that it was, you know, fairly obvious that I, you know, on the off chance that she would have been able to understand, I wouldn’t have wanted to scare her.”

“So, it wasn’t a hard decision, it was just sort of hard in a more global way because I had been so close to her all my life.”

Peet revealed her breast cancer diagnosis in a New Yorker essay last Saturday, saying that she is stage I and doesn’t need chemotherapy, but will undergo a lumpectomy and radiation.
