Ron Howard Is a Proud Grandpa of 6 – What His ‘Beautiful’ Blonde Granddaughter & Other Grandkids Look Like

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.

Theo Norman: Following in Grandpa’s Creative Footsteps

The eldest of Ron’s grandchildren, Theo Norman is the son of Bryce Dallas Howard and actor Seth Gabel, and he seems to have inherited the family’s artistic genes.

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.

Bryce also noted that her son embraced creativity early on, thanks to the inspiration from his family. Theo spent time on film sets, both hers and her father’s, observing the creative process firsthand.

“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.

Bryce once joked, “I always said the prodigy gene skipped a generation,” noting how Theo’s knack for creativity mirrors his grandfather’s.

Beatrice Jean: The Blonde Beauty Who Steals the Spotlight

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.

Thanking her for the joy and laughter she brings, Bryce described her daughter as wise beyond her years and a constant source of great advice and humor.

Fans flooded the post with comments, some noting Bea’s striking resemblance to her mother. “[She] is beautiful just like her mother,” one user commented, while others chimed in with “Happy birthday, beautiful Beatrice!” and “She’s beautiful.”

It’s clear that Bea has inherited more than just good looks — she embodies the warmth and spirit that define the Howard family.

In addition to Theo and Bea, Ron has four more grandchildren who are cherished members of the family. Aspen Leigh, the daughter of Reed Howard, is energetic and spirited.

The five-year-old girl seems to be most at home outdoors. Whether playing at the park or enjoying time with her family, Aspen’s cheerful spirit can be seen in every photo and video shared by her parents.
