You know Jason Statham. He’s the guy who fixes every problem with a spinning back kick or a high-speed car chase. But off-camera? Honestly, he’s just a dad. And a pretty private one at that. While Hollywood is full of "nepo babies" and toddlers with their own Instagram handles, Jason Statham kids are a different story entirely.
He and his longtime partner, the supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, have been together since 2010. That’s an eternity in celebrity years. Throughout that decade-plus, they’ve managed to do something almost impossible: they've raised a family while keeping the paparazzi mostly at arm's length. No reality shows. No staged "family fun day" photoshoots. Just two kids living a relatively normal life in London.
Meet the Statham Brood: Jack and Isabella
So, how many kids does the Expendables star actually have? Just two.
First came Jack Oscar Statham, born on June 24, 2017. He’s about eight years old now. Then, a few years later, the couple welcomed Isabella James Statham. She arrived on a very catchy date—February 2, 2022 (2.2.22).
Rosie occasionally drops a photo of them on her social media, but there’s a catch. You almost never see their faces. It’s usually the back of a blonde head, a tiny hand, or a silhouette during a family vacation. It’s a deliberate choice. Rosie has been pretty vocal about wanting them to decide for themselves if they want a public life when they’re older. For now, they’re just Jack and Isabella, not "content" for a feed.
Why they left Los Angeles
For a long time, the family lived in Beverly Hills. It makes sense, right? Jason’s movies are massive, and Rosie’s career is global. But they eventually packed it all up and moved back to England in 2020.
Why? Because L.A. can be a bit of a fishbowl. Rosie has mentioned in interviews that they’d leave the house and have four cars of photographers following them. That’s not a great way to grow up. Moving to London allowed the kids to have a "proper" British upbringing.

- Accents: They’re growing up with British accents, which was apparently a big deal for Jason and Rosie.
- Family: Jason’s parents live just up the road now. They see the kids almost every day.
- Nature: They spend summers in Devon, running around on farms, which is exactly how Rosie grew up.
The "Human Playground" Parenting Style
If you think Jason is the "tough guy" at home, you’re kinda wrong. Rosie has joked that she’s the one who provides the structure and the rules. Jason? He’s the "human playground."
According to her, he’s got boundless energy. He’s constantly rolling around on the floor with them or letting them climb all over him. He’s a "softy." Jason even admitted in an interview with Access Hollywood that he gets told off for being too soft. It’s a funny image, right? The guy who fights off mercenaries for a living getting "told off" because he can't say no to a toddler wanting a new toy.
But there is a serious side to it. They both want their kids to be resilient. They don’t want them to be "spoiled" or "kids at sea" without any direction.
Keeping It Real in the Spotlight
One of the funniest things about Jason Statham kids is that they don’t really get how famous their parents are. There’s a great story Rosie told Porter magazine where a fan asked her for a selfie. Her son, Jack, was confused. He turned to her and said, "Why do they want a picture with you? Daddy’s the famous person in the family!"
To them, Jason is just the guy who makes them laugh and plays too much. He isn't the action hero.
The Statham-Huntington-Whiteley Family Dynamics
- Engagement but no wedding: They’ve been engaged since 2016. People keep asking when the wedding is. Their answer? Basically, "whenever." They’ve said they want the kids to be old enough to actually be involved and remember the day.
- Privacy is king: They don't do red carpets with the kids. You won't see Jack and Isabella at a movie premiere anytime soon.
- Work ethic: Rosie is big on her kids seeing her work. She wants Isabella to grow up seeing a woman who is independent and runs her own business.
Raising kids in the public eye is a minefield. You either overexpose them or you hide them away. Jason and Rosie seem to have found a middle ground that works for them. They share the "vibe" of their family life without selling out their children’s privacy. It’s a rare thing in 2026.
If you’re looking to follow their parenting journey, your best bet is following Rosie on Instagram, but don't expect a tell-all. You’ll get the occasional "Summer of Love" photo dump with some blurry beach shots, and that’s about it. They’re keeping the "action" for the big screen and the quiet life for the living room.

Actionable Insights for Parents:
- Value Privacy: Even if you aren't a celebrity, consider the "digital footprint" you're creating for your children before they can consent to it.
- Balance Roles: Like Jason and Rosie, finding a "good cop/bad cop" or "structure/play" balance can help maintain a healthy household dynamic.
- Prioritize Roots: If you have the means, connecting your kids with extended family and your own cultural roots (like their move back to the UK) provides a sense of belonging.
