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.”

No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease

No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease “a number of years ago.”
The musician shared the “personal update” with his Instagram followers on Saturday, clarifying in the caption that he is “doing well.”
The 58-year-old went into detail about his health issues in a video, filmed from his home.
“I went to my doctor, I went to a neurologist, did a whole bunch of tests, and I was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease,” he recalled in the upload. “It’s been a struggle. It’s a struggle every day.”
Acknowledging the band’s upcoming Las Vegas residency, Dumont noted “the good news” — he can “still play music.”
He added, “I can still play guitar. I’ve been doing really well.”
As for why he chose to share, Dumont explained, “I’ve just been very inspired by other people who have come out to talk about their health issues on social media, and that sort of thing.”
“I think it helps erase some of the stigma, and it raises awareness obviously,” he continued. “And awareness is really important for prevention and for research.”
Dumont, elsewhere in the video, gushed about how much “fun” it has been preparing for the Sphere residency, which kicks off in Sin City on May 6, with singer Gwen Stefani, drummer Adrian Young and bassist Tony Kanal.
“Looking through old footage and looking at old photographs and relearning old songs and rehearsing … it’s kind of made me think about how grateful I am for the life I’ve gotten to lead as a musician all these years,” he said.
Dumont concluded, “I’m really excited about the shows, can’t wait to see everybody.”
His fellow No Doubt band members shared supportive comments over the weekend.
“My friend, bandmate, and hero, I love you brother,” Young, 56, wrote, while Kanal, 55, commented, “Love you beyond words my friend. Can’t wait to get on stage with you again.”
Trombonist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Gabrial McNair, for his part, wrote, “You are such a beautiful soul, Tom!! I love you so much and can’t wait get on stage with you!! LFG!!”
The band formed in 1986 and have gone on hiatus multiple times as Stefani, 56, pursued a solo career.
They reunited in for a Coachella 2024 performance after nearly a decade apart, and their most recent show together was at the FireAid LA benefit concert in January 2025.

Sabrina Carpenter apologizes for mistaking fan’s cultural chant with yodeling in awkward Coachella moment

Sabrina Carpenter delivered an apology after she misidentified a fan’s celebratory Arabic call as “yodeling” during her Coachella headlining set in an awkward moment that sparked outrage.
“My apologies,” she wrote on X on Saturday afternoon. “I didn’t see this person with my eyes and couldn’t hear clearly. My reaction was pure confusion, sarcasm, and not ill-intended. Could have handled it better!”
“Now I know what a zaghrouta is!” she added. “I welcome all cheers and yodels from here on out.”
During her Friday night performance on the California festival’s main stage, Carpenter paused between songs after hearing a loud call from the crowd.
After finishing her hit “Please Please Please,” she sat at her keyboard as the audience quieted — except for one fan who continued shouting.
“I think I heard someone yodel,” Carpenter said, prompting the fan to repeat the sound.
“Is that what you’re doing?” she asked. “I don’t like it.”
“It’s my culture,” the fan replied.
“That’s your culture, is yodeling?” Carpenter said.
“It’s a call of celebration,” the fan explained.
Carpenter didn’t engage further with the clarification and instead joked, “Is this Burning Man? What’s going on? This is weird.”
The exchange quickly spread online while many people identified the sound as “zaghrouta,” a traditional celebratory vocal expression used in Arabic cultures at weddings and parties.
The moment fueled debate on social media over whether Carpenter’s reaction was appropriate.
“The way Sabrina doubled down and decided to continue to be ignorant even after it was clarified yodeling is part of that person’s culture says a lot about her,” one disappointed fan tweeted.
“Did Sabrina Carpenter just call that girl’s culture weird and creepy?” another added.
Others, however, defended the “Espresso” singer amid the backlash.
“She clearly could not hear the girl speaking,” one user wrote. “You have to remember she’s all the way up on stage.”
Before introducing her next song, Carpenter explained to the crowd why there was a slight delay, saying, “You know, the last time I played Coachella, I had some crazy piano malfunctions, so I’m making sure that we’re good here.”
She then introduced the track “We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night”, telling fans, “I wanted to sing you guys a song I’ve never sung before from ‘Man’s Best Friend.’
“If anyone here has ever been in a relationship that starts, and ends, and then starts and ends, and then starts, and then ends, and then maybe it starts again and ends again, I’m singing this directly to you.”
Carpenter’s Old Hollywood-themed show also featured several surprise appearances.
Susan Sarandon made a cameo as an older version of the pop star in a theatrical segment, after recently saying she had been blacklisted in Hollywood over her pro-Palestine views.
Will Ferrell appeared onstage in a comedic bit as an electrician dragging a cable, Samuel L. Jackson contributed a voiceover segment during “Juno,” and the performance opened with a black-and-white intro featuring Sam Elliott.

‘Love on the Spectrum’ stars Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman break silence after split

“Love on the Spectrum” stars Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman have confirmed their split.
“Abbey and David spent four and a half years together and truly value the time they shared and each other,” Romeo, Isaacman and their families told People in a joint statement on Friday.
“At this point, they want different things and have decided to go their separate ways, but they remain friends wishing each other the best.”
News of the split first surfaced on Thursday, with a source telling the US Sun “they couldn’t come to an agreement on when to get married.”
The source told the outlet that Isaacman was the hold up as Romeo “was ready” to tie the knot “years ago,” but her partner “still needed time.”
Despite the breakup after five years of dating, Romeo, 27, still showed some love to Isaacman, 31, as she shared her support for the release of his new children’s book, “The Big Five Save the Lions.”
Just two weeks before their breakup hit the news cycle, Romeo was gushing about her love for her now-confirmed ex on the “We Need To Talk” podcast.
She told host Paul C. Brunson that the couple enjoyed going to places like the LA Zoo, Disneyland, Universal Studios and the Griffith Observatory together, and shared what she likes about him.
“He says things that make me feel good, he covers my ears when there’s a certain noise I don’t like,” she said.
Isaacman and Romeo met and fell in love in Season 1 of the hit show, which aired in 2021.
The exes shared their marriage plans during Season 4 of “Love on the Spectrum,” which premiered April 1.
“Neither one of us are ready to get married,” Romeo told producers.
“We’re already married in our hearts,” the “Boyfriend Forever” singer explained, adding that she did not “want to be a divorced lady like [her] mom” and plans to “take [her] time.”
