Becoming a Dad: Vince Vaughn’s Journey to Fatherhood
Before becoming a father, Vaughn admitted he wasn’t ready for the role until his engagement to Kyla Weber in 2009. Speaking to PEOPLE, he revealed that it was “the first time that I really wanted to have kids.”
The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Locklyn Kyla, on December 18, 2010. Parenthood brought Vaughn a newfound sense of purpose, as he shared with CTV News.
In 2013, their family grew with the birth of their son, Vernon Lindsay. Vaughn embraced the joys of parenting, telling E! News that “all kids bring their own joy,” and describing fatherhood as “a lot of fun.”
In August 2024, Vaughn was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His wife and children attended the event, where the actor gave a heartfelt speech, calling his kids “the most important thing in the world.” He told Locklyn and Vernon, “I love you very much,” underscoring his deep bond with them.
Meet Locklyn Kyla Vaughn
Locklyn Kyla Vaughn, born on December 18, 2010, was named in honor of her maternal grandmother’s Scottish heritage. Vaughn explained to Metro in 2014 that the name Locklyn pays tribute to Weber’s roots.
During her early years, Locklyn developed a close friendship with Ford Wilson, son of Owen Wilson. The two children spent time together on the set of The Internship while their fathers were filming in 2012.
By 2020, Locklyn had developed a love for comedy, a trait she shares with her father. Vaughn mentioned on Live with Kelly and Ryan that his daughter enjoyed watching comedy movies and joking around. The only film of his she had seen was Dodgeball, which both of his kids enjoyed.
Locklyn is also passionate about sports. Vaughn revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2020 that she played competitive soccer. A few years later, the father-daughter duo was spotted enjoying an NBA game together.
Meet Vernon Lindsay Vaughn
Vernon Lindsay Vaughn, born on August 7, 2013, carries a family legacy with his name, which honors his paternal grandfather. Unlike many children, Vernon has a fascination with horror movies. Vaughn shared during a 2020 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that his son, then seven years old, had a surprising “appetite for the dangerous stuff,” even watching the original Dirty Harry film.
Despite his adventurous taste in films, Vernon is described by Vaughn as a sweet and generous child. On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the actor humorously noted that Vernon often gave away new toys to his friends, making them feel like “guests at the Oscars.”
Sports are also a significant part of Vernon’s life. In 2021, Vaughn spoke about balancing his kids’ sports schedules during an interview with Jimmy Fallon. Vernon participated in both baseball and soccer, which often required travel to compete against other young teams.
