Garcelle Beauvais welcomed Jaid and his fraternal twin brother Jax in 2007 with her then-husband, Michael Nilon, per People. They are both rainbow babies, as their mum suffered three miscarriages and resorted to IVF, but failed once before conceiving them. The two have an older brother, Oliver Saunders, whom Beauvais had with her first husband, Daniel Saunders.
Although Oliver is over 30 and the Nilon twins are 17, they get along well. 'Even though they are a generation apart, they love each other so much,' the Spider-Man: Homecoming actress wrote in an article for People magazine. She also added that Jaid and Jax couldn't be more different from each other. 'From day one, they were different. Jax came out screaming while Jaid came out looking both serious and curious about the world around him,' she shared. In a separate interview with the outlet, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star revealed, 'Jax is just like me, loud. Jaid is more like Mike, laid back.'

Meet RHOBH star Garcelle Beauvais' 3 children: Oliver is a rapper and father of 2 who's weathered cheating and drug scandals, and Jaid is a model – but Jax wants nothing to do with his family's fame
Garcelle Beauvais' 16-year-old son Jaid Thomas Nilon – whom she shares with ex-husband Michael Nilon – made his modelling debut last July in her RHOBH co-star Sutton Stracke's Green Label fashion show. Beauvais was a proud, excited and nervous mum at the show, per PageSix at the time, but according to the outlet she needn't have worried, as Jaid reportedly already looked the consummate professional. Here's what else we know about Beauvais' three grown-up children. Oliver Saunders, 33 Oliver Saunders with his current partner, Shantei Paranada.

The Haitian actress says he was an 'easy and happy' baby but grew up to be a rebellious child who got kicked out of five schools. He dabbled in acting but music was his real passion, and he began rapping under the stage name Jayson Rose. Per People magazine, he has struggled with addiction and in 2022, was accused of cheating on his (now ex-) wife, Samantha Saunders. He shares a son, Oliver Jr, with Samantha, and a daughter, Valley Marie-Claire Saunders, with his current partner, Shantei Paranada.

While Jaid enjoys the spotlight, Jax isn't too fond of all the attention. In 2022, he shared his struggles with the online harassment, attacks and racism he was facing from RHOBH viewers and 'middle-aged women'. 'I just want to be a normal kid,' he emphasised, and his mother reshared his message on her Instagram Story. When asked if he wanted to attend his twin brother's fashion show, he reportedly said 'absolutely not'. Jaid Thomas Nilon, 17 Garcelle Beauvais's son Jaid Nilon is a model.
