Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's 2 Kids: All About Jack and Isabella
The couple — who met at a party in 2009 — live in London with their son and daughter, who were born in 2017 and 2022, respectively. According to the supermodel, who grew up on a farm in Devon, it was important for both her and Statham, who is from Derbyshire, to raise their family in England.
'I've always wanted to raise my children in the U.K., for them to be educated here,' she told Elle U.K. in March 2021. 'There's not much grit in [Los Angeles].'
Aside from desiring her children to be resilient and outdoorsy, Huntington-Whiteley has shared how moving away from Hollywood was essential to giving Jack and Isabella a sense of normalcy.
'We wanted our kids to have a childhood away from cameras as much as we could," she said in an October 2024 interview with The Telegraph. "We made a rule that we wouldn't share their faces on social media, and we're not going to walk down the red carpet with them.'
Here's everything to know about Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's two kids, Jack and Isabella.
Statham and Huntington-Whiteley welcomed their first child together, son Jack Oscar Statham, on June 24, 2017.
A few days later, the model announced the news on Instagram. 'Our little man arrived! Jack Oscar Statham - 8.8lbs on Saturday June 24th,' she wrote alongside a black-and-white photo of his hand around her finger.
In January 2018, she opened up about motherhood, calling it 'life-changing," in an interview with Harper's Bazaar U.K. 'It sounds so clichéd, but it's just been the most magical experience,' she said. 'Everything feels so special and sweet and wholesome and loving.'
As for Statham, who she called 'the best dad,' she noted that starting a family has brought them closer together. 'I can't even put it into words,' she said. 'It's really a beautiful thing to watch.'
When Jack was born, Statham and Huntington-Whiteley were living in Malibu, but the model always knew she wanted to move back to England.
'I miss the people. The British culture and humor,' she admitted to Grazia in November 2019. 'Since becoming a mother, I have found a growing desire to be close to my roots. I'm very proud to be British and I think the U.K. is a really special place to raise a family."
That cultural pride was especially apparent during a Q&A session on her Instagram Stories in April 2020 when she boasted about Jack's burgeoning language skills. When one fan asked if he had an American inflection, she wrote back, 'I'm really proud to say he has a proper English accent and he does have the same booming loud voice as Jason, the pair of them are sooo noisy!!'
Given their desire for privacy, it comes as no surprise that Statham and Huntington-Whiteley have been careful not to share too much about Jack on social media.
'I think he's the cutest thing in the world,' the proud mom told PEOPLE in November 2019. But while she may want to show him off, she's mindful that he 'might not want to have his face all over the internet.'
During her Instagram Stories Q&A, however, she did share which of his parents he resembles more. 'He looks very much like me when I was young but with Jason's eye color!' she told fans.
But Statham's eyes and loud voice aren't the only things Jack has inherited from his famous father — at least, Huntington-Whiteley hopes not.
'He's got that real groundedness and I love the fact he will pass that on to our child as well," she told Elle U.K..
Unfortunately, Jack seems to have gotten his dad's (and mom's!) stubborn side as well. 'I've never liked being told what to do,' she said. 'I see it with my son now."
She continued, "And Jason's the same ... we're both incredibly headstrong. And now we've got this three-year-old headstrong little guy, so it can be combative in our household, for sure.'
That being said, Statham has described himself as a "big softie" when it comes to his children. While speaking to Access Hollywood in 2019, the Hobbs & Shaw actor admitted that his then 2-year-old son was able to get away with more with him rather than his mom.
"I think guidance is good and I think dads are always a little bit [less strict]," he said. "I always feel that mothers do a better job at [structure] than dads."
In August 2021, Huntington-Whiteley revealed that she and Statham were expecting baby number two with a series of mirror selfies on Instagram.
On Feb. 2, 2022, the couple welcomed their daughter, Isabella James Statham, who they affectionately refer to as 'Bella." "My heart is very full," Huntington-Whiteley responded to a fan asking in an Instagram Stories Q&A how she was adjusting to being a mom of two. 'Very happy and grateful to have two healthy babes.'
In response to another fan, the Mad Max actress expressed gratitude for her family and noted that she was calmer with her daughter, saying, 'Second time round I feel much more confident and relaxed."
For Huntington-Whiteley, one of the best things about welcoming another child has been watching Jack grow as a big brother.
In August 2022, she shared a sweet video of her two kids playing on Instagram. 'My little loves,' she wrote. 'I knew these two would have a strong bond but I didn't know what the transition to big brother would look like. Six months in, nothing warms my heart more than seeing Jack with his baby sister.'
She shared a similar sentiment in a June 2023 interview with CR Fashion Book. Whether Jack and Isabella are getting along or butting heads, she loves seeing their sibling bond grow. 'Watching your children together is the most special experience,' she said.
Despite her love of being a mom, Huntington-Whiteley has acknowledged the difficulty of balancing her career with her children, telling PEOPLE in 2019 that it was "definitely a challenge."
However, instead of feeling guilty about her time away from home, Huntington-Whiteley wants her work ethic to serve as an inspiration for her daughter.
'I want her to feel a sense of purpose and to be happy,' she told The Telegraph in 2024. 'I look at my life and I kind of think I'm there. I hope, as she grows up, that I can be a role model for her achieving whatever it is that she may want to.'

Kristine Frøseth and Guy Remmers' Relationship Timeline
For everyone still reeling over the season 2 finale of The Buccaneers, I've got more !!! news for you: actors Kristine Frøseth and Guy Remmers (aka Nan St. George and Theo, the Duke of Tintagel) are actually a couple in real life. The two began dating all the way back in 2022 after meeting on the set of the Apple TV+ series, and as far as I know, the couple is still going strong. Of course, their romance is so low-key that you may not have even realized it was happening. For that reason, I present to you a handy timeline of how Kristine and Guy (not to be confused with Guy Thwarte, Nan's other love interest on The Buccaneers) first got together and where they stand now. Principal photography for the first season of The Buccaneers begins in Madrid, which is presumably where Kristine and Guy first cross paths. (Later, during an interview with Tatler, Guy confirms that he and Kristine met on set.) Kristine takes to her Instagram Stories to share an intimate-looking pic of herself and someone who looks like Guy cuddling on a beach, which has fans like 😱. The Buccaneers season 1 premieres, and the following month at a photocall, Kristine and Guy smitten, no? (Sry to Matthew Broome.) The costars attend the Simone Rocha show during London Fashion Week together, which has fans wondering, 'Um, are these two an item??' And not long after, they're spotted at the JW Anderson show! And then, to clear up any remaining doubt, they share cute pics of each other on their IG Stories in honor of Valentine's Day. During an interview with People, Kristine shares how she tried (and failed) to throw a surprise birthday for her boyfriend (!!) Guy. 'I was trying to host a surprise birthday party for the first time in my life,' she explains. 'And I organized everything and everyone was coming. But that weekend, the schedule changed and so everyone went home. So it was basically just me and my boyfriend, unfortunately. I'm still having to try and make up for it.' In his interview with Tatler, Guy opens up about his girlfriend (!!), saying 'her energy' is his favorite thing about her. 'We both love to dance,' he says. 'Kay, that's basically all I know, but here's hoping we get more details about this 'ship (and the fate of season 3) soon!!

Oscars Set Launch Date for First FYC Screeners: ‘KPop Demon Hunters,' ‘Becoming Led Zeppelin' and More (EXCLUSIVE)
The Oscars will launch its first wave of digital screeners on Friday, Aug. 15, for its 11,000+ members to consider for the 98th Academy Awards, which will mark the official start of awards season as studios vie for voters' attention on the members-only streaming platform. The Academy Screening Room will debut its initial slate of films from distributors that met the July 31 submission deadline. New movies will be uploaded every Friday, until the end of the season across all categories, including best picture and specialty races such as documentary, animated, international feature and the shorts. More from Variety The 'KPop Demon Hunters' Soundtrack Is Now on Vinyl 'KPop Demon Hunters' Becomes Netflix's No. 4 Most Popular English-Language Movie Ever Czech Oscar Submission Controversy Heats Up as Abuse Drama 'Broken Voices' Accused of 'Fundamental Ethical Failure' and 'Misleading Claims' Netflix's animated feature 'KPop Demon Hunters' will be among the highest-profile titles launching on the platform. Released in June, the music sensation has become Netflix's most popular original animated film of all time and ranks fourth on the streaming service's all-time most popular films list as of Aug. 5. The movie's original song 'Golden,' which will be a top track for the Music Branch to consider, has achieved unprecedented success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 — surpassing 'Let It Go' from 'Frozen,' which peaked at No. 5. The song, written by EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick, IDO, 24 and TEDDY, made HUNTR/X the first female K-pop group to earn a top-five hit in Hot 100 history. All seven original songs from the soundtrack have charted on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the first streaming-era soundtrack to debut in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 and increase sales in its second, third and fourth weeks. Other early titles expected on the platform include IFC and Shudder's Danish horror film 'The Ugly Stepsister' from writer-director Emilie Blichfeldt, in addition to Samir Oliveros' thriller 'The Luckiest Man in America' featuring a remarkable performance from Paul Walter Hauser. Sony Pictures Classics is also expected to debut two films: Bernard MacMahon's music documentary 'Becoming Led Zeppelin,' chronicling the formation of the English rock band, and 'Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight,' Embeth Davidtz's directorial debut. The drama, adapted from Alexandra Fuller's memoir about growing up on a farm in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), had its Canadian premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. Studios pay $20,000 to place films on the platform. An alternative rate is available for films with budgets of $10 million or less, with guidelines available through the Academy Screening Room application process. Distributors can also create exclusive content for the platform through the 'Scene at the Academy' program. Beyond awards contenders, the platform features Academy Museum programming, marquee events including the Governors Awards and Scientific and Technical Awards, Student Academy Awards, unconscious bias sessions, member conversations, panel discussions and additional resources for Academy members. The early digital release on the platform provides crucial exposure for films, notably smaller independent titles that may lack the marketing budgets of major studio releases. In 2011, when physical screeners were allowed, Chris Weitz's moving indie drama 'A Better Life' was the first out of the gate, which paid off for best actor nominee Demián Bichir, one of five Latinos in history to be nominated in the category. For distributors, the platform offers direct access to all voting members without the logistical challenges and costs of organizing physical screenings across Los Angeles and New York. However, they will still plan those throughout the season. In the case of a film like 'The Ugly Stepsister,' the Norwegian-language extreme take on the beloved 'Cinderella' fairytale, any chance of the film being Norway's official submission for international feature is highly unlikely. Conventional wisdom points to Joachim Trier's Grand Prix winner 'Sentimental Value' to carry that torch. Still, IFC and Shudder believe it warrants consideration and see a pathway for recognition in areas such as makeup and hairstyling (and possibly more). Independent films especially benefit from the streaming format, as it allows Academy members to view titles at their convenience rather than competing for attention at crowded screening events. The platform's accessibility ensures that smaller films receive equal consideration alongside big-budget contenders. Let's not forget: this year marks significant changes to the Academy's voting procedures, where members are now required to view all nominated films within a category to be eligible to vote in the final round. It's best that voters get started on this as early as possible in order to not to do too much catch-up after nominations are announced in January. With Oscar contenders gearing up to debut at fall film festivals — Netflix's 'Frankenstein' with Oscar Isaac, Focus Features' 'Hamnet' with Jessie Buckley and A24's 'The Smashing Machine' with Dwayne Johnson — awards season promises to be an exciting one to watch unfold. The Academy Screening Room is available on Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, the Academy member website and mobile app, with AirPlay and Chromecast support. The nominations voting period will run from Monday, Jan. 12, through Friday, Jan. 16. Official nominees will be announced Thursday, Jan. 22. The 98th Academy Awards will be held March 15, 2025.

Edits Gets Streamlined Script Creation and Louder Audio Options
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. Instagram has announced the latest round of updates for its Edits video editing app, with three new features designed to help you put together more creative, engaging video clips. First off, Edits is making it easier to transfer your content ideas into a script, with 'Stickies-to-Teleprompter' conversion, via a simple drop-down command. As you can see in this sequence, now, you'll be able to put down your video script in a sticky note, then transfer that directly to the in-built teleprompter function (which it added a few weeks back). You'll then see your script layered over your recording screen in the app, making it easier to translate your concepts. It's a handy option, which doesn't add a heap in terms of functionality (as you could already use the teleprompter tool), but will save you from having to put your script together in Notes or similar. Edits is also getting a new option to share unpublished drafts direct from the editor, so you can get feedback on your in-progress creations. As you can see in these screens, you'll now be able to send an example of your project, along with a message, via your Instagram DMs. Finally, you can now boost the sound of your clips up to 150%. Why would you want that? I mean, I can't imagine a heap of viewers are super keen to have some blaring, distorted audio. But Instagram says that this has been a highly requested feature, and it could enable alternate effects and approaches that align with modern trends. The Edits team has stayed true to its word in adding features to the app, with more functions and options coming to the app weekly, providing more ways to customize and maximize your Reels clips. And it's definitely becoming a must-have video editing option, which all social media creators should be considering. You can download Edits here. Sign in to access your portfolio
