Ron Howard With His Wife & Kids

Ron Howard With His Wife & Kids — Award-winning director Ron Howard’s illustrious career first began in the 1960s as a child star with roles in iconic TV shows like ‘The Andy Griffith Show’ and ‘Happy Days’. He has since forayed into the world of directing, directing award-nominated and trophy-winning films like ‘A Beautiful Mind’, ‘Frost/Nixon’, and ‘Hillbilly Elegy’.

With the release of his new memoir with brother Clint, titled ‘The Boys: A Memoir of Hollywood and Family’, Ron offers an unfiltered look into his career, life, and most importantly, family. Many of the Howards have followed in Ron’s film footsteps. While his eldest daughter is well known to the masses (Golden Globe-nominated actress Bryce Dallas Howard, pictured here with her father), the filmmaker is also a proud dad to three other adult children with his longtime wife Cheryl, who he wed in 1975. They are Paige and Jocelyn and their son Reed.

I wouldn’t be here today without everyone I’ve mentioned, and now I’ll have double the foot traffic – twice as many people treading on my good name. I think it’s a great thing and I’m proud of that.”

Reed’s middle name Cross refers to the street in London that the Howard family used to live. “That was our road where our house was,” she explained, adding with a laugh, “My dad would make this joke, ‘I didn’t want to call him back of the Volvo!’ No, stop it!”

Bryce made her directorial debut in 2019 with the documentary ‘Dads’. The film featured interviews with famous fathers like Will Smith, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and her own dad.

Talking about what she learned from the project in a June 2020 interview on the ‘Today’ show, she said, “What I realized in interviewing all these guys is that we’re treating dads like they’re in the background when they’re not.”

“The vast majority of fathers are incredibly involved, present and committed. That needs to be acknowledged. It would be really hard for me to be a good mother when everyone assumed I wasn’t doing anything.”
