IT’S been 30 years since Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon flew over the canyon ridge in that memorable ending to iconic film ‘Thelma & Louise’.
The activist mom is keen for her kids to take a different path in life – and not become actors.
Who are Geena Davis’s children?
Geena Davis, 65, has three children with her ex-husband Reza Jarrahy.
Davis had her daughter Alizeh Keshvar when she was 46, and their twin sons, Kaiis Steven and Kian William, were born when the star was 48 years old.
She told The Guardian: “I always felt lucky that I had my kids late, because I just feel like I changed so much.
“I always knew I wanted kids, but what I was doing waiting that long, I don’t know.
“I never tried before, in other words. But it’s been great. And twins are fun!”
Alizeh Keshvar Davis Jarrahy
Alizeh Keshvar Davis Jarrahy, 19, is the firstborn of Oscar-winner Geena Davis and her ex, surgeon Reza Jarrahy, her fourth husband.
Born in 2002 in Los Angeles, California, she has “maintained a low key life”, reports Married Celeb.
The website adds that the teen “enjoys a lavish lifestyle born to a wealthy family.
“Alizeh’s celebrated and wealthy mother, Geena Davis has an impressive net worth of $30 million as of early 2021.”
Davis has become an advocate for diversity in Hollywood, focusing especially on gender representation in media made for children.
The Huffington Post reported that Davis has warned her daughter about the uphill struggle for women in Hollywood – onscreen and behind the camera.
Speaking about how she tries to empower Alizeh, the Thelma and Louise star said: “I can’t stop our culture from sending disempowering messages to my daughter, no matter how much I limit her media exposure.
“But I can tell her that it’s wrong. I can teach her that it’s unfair and needs to change.”
Kaiis Steven Jarrahy
Kaiis, 17, is the twin brother of Kian Jarrahy.
After their birth, their proud mom said: “My daughter was two when they were born, so that meant three kids under the age of three at home.
“And I was worried because part of me thought, ‘am I going to be able to love boys as much as I love my little girl?’
“Of course, I do, and it’s been really wonderful. But it was overwhelming.”
Kian William Jarrahy
Kian William Jarrahy, 17 is the twin brother of Kaiis Steven Jarrahy.
