Ron Howard’s career spans decades, from child actor to award-winning filmmaker. But behind the scenes, he is a dedicated family man. Alongside his wife, Cheryl, he raised four children: Bryce Dallas, Paige, Jocelyn, and Reed.
The couple’s joy expanded with the arrival of six grandchildren, who carry on the Howard legacy. Ron loves celebrating their milestones, offering glimpses into their lives through interviews and social media posts. Here’s a look at the grandchildren, starting from the eldest.
According to Bryce, her father’s influence has shaped Theo’s creative outlook. “There’s a lot of wisdom that my dad and my grandparents have been able to impart on me,” she shared, adding that this wisdom has now been passed down to her son.

“He knows it’s a process, he knows by practicing you get better,” Bryce stated, crediting her father, uncle, and grandparents for fostering this mindset. She added that they intentionally minimized his exposure to technology.

Instead, they encouraged him to explore his artistic side. “We intentionally put a camera in his hands when he was four,” Bryce said. The decision paid off as Theo developed a love for visual arts, painting, and photography.
Ron’s second grandchild, Beatrice Jean, affectionately called “Bea,” is Theo’s younger sister. Born in 2012, Bea celebrated her twelfth birthday earlier this year. Her proud mom marked the occasion with a heartfelt social media post in January 2024.

Bryce shared a nostalgic video of Bea from her younger years, captioning it with a sweet message. “This little cutie turned 12 today. Time flies when you’re having fun! We love you so much, Bea,” she wrote.
