Vin Diesel is a really happy father.
The Fast & Furious actor has three children with his longterm companion Paloma Jiménez, whom he started dating in 2007: daughter Hania, 16, son Vincent, 13, and daughter Pauline, 9.
Diesel said, “My pride in my kids is through the roof,” to PEOPLE in 2017. “Oh my God, I’m proud of them all the time.”
The sentiment is obviously reciprocal. “They were watching the [XXX: Return of Xander Cage] trailer,” Diesel recalls of his children. My son says, “That’s going to be a giant hit,” in the conclusion. I had to give him a double cheek kiss when I came to a stop in the middle of the road. Simply to inform the cosmos that I had heard.”
“My kids move me to tears every single day,” he continued. A few weeks ago, my daughter Similce told me, “Daddy, I know what song should be at every funeral.” What is that, I asked? “See You Again,” she then said. That wasn’t just.
Diesel’s two eldest children have joined the Fast and Furious family, and his other children are beginning to follow in his footsteps. The whole Diesel family also frequently shows up to the actor’s film premieres and cheers him on during some of his most significant moments in the industry.

On April 2, 2008, Diesel and Jiménez welcomed their daughter Hania Riley Sinclair, also known as “Similce,” into the world.
The action hero disclosed upon her entrance that he actively participated in her delivery because of his late friend and costar from Fast and Furious, Paul Walker.
I tell Paul, ‘You know, how’s that going to work, or should I be in the delivery room?’ He continues, “You know, a lot of guys will tell you not to do it. You’re not able to bear it. “It’s the best thing you’ll ever do in your life, but you’ll never look at the girl the same,” Diesel reminisced on Good Morning America.
“[I] did everything but literally pull her out,” he continued. I severed the fetal cord. The bonding that occurred between me and my kid as a result of being more present than I could have ever imagined is invaluable.”
Hania is carrying on her father’s legacy in the Fast and Furious film franchise as well as the performing industry. The father-daughter pair was present at the Fast and Furious: Spy Racers red carpet debut in December 2019, which is an animated series on Netflix featuring her character.
The show centers on teenage Tony Toretto, played by Tyler Posey, who is Diesel’s on-screen nephew Dominic Toretto. Hania plays the role of 13-year-old tech prodigy Sissy. Diesel participates as an executive producer as well.
Hania maintains a tight relationship with the Fast family by way of her bond with Meadow, Paul’s daughter. Over the years, the model has posted a number of images of herself with Hania. In one of these images from May 2021, she called Diesel and Hania “family.”
Diesel disclosed in October 2021 that Hania was Meadow’s maid of honor at her marriage to Louis Thornton-Allan.
“This picture will make you smile, Pablo. Take a look. Diesel, who escorted Meadow down the aisle, posted a tribute to Paul on Instagram. “The same angel that you helped me prepare for in the most beautiful way with your brotherly advice is the same angel that precious Meadow asked to be her Maid of Honor,” Diesel said.

On August 15, 2010, Diesel and Jiménez’s only son, Vincent Sinclair, was born.
Vincent has become a member of the Fast & Furious family, much like his older sister. The news that he would star in F9 as a younger Dominic Toretto, the character played by his father, first surfaced in March 2021.
Diesel said that it wasn’t his idea to cast Vincent in the film, while being thrilled to have his kid join the franchise. The actor said he “can’t take the credit” for casting Vincent when he appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. “It was Justin Lin, the director.”
“But we’ve been making these movies for so long, that every time one of my children were born, I was usually working on a Fast and Furious movie,” Diesel went on to say. Thus, each member of the cast and director has a unique bond with my kids. Furthermore, [Lin] suggested that my son portray a young Dom.”
Diesel posted an image of Vincent’s hair with the initials “FX” buzzed into it in September 2021, hinting at the title of the tenth installment of Fast & Furious. In February 2023, the first Fast X trailer was released.
In addition, Vincent has developed a fascination with Dungeons & Dragons, his father’s other hobby. The actor, who has played for more than 40 years, disclosed that the fantasy role-playing game served as the inspiration for his son’s cake on his 12th birthday.
I was 12 years old when I first picked up D&D. It was therefore strange to have this be his birthday cake this month. “Haha.,” the pleased father wrote as the caption for a picture of the elaborate birthday cake that was modeled after a game manual. “All love, Always.”
Pauline Sinclair, nine kids with a Vin Diesel Instagram account
Pauline Sinclair, Diesel and Jiménez’s youngest child, was born on March 14, 2015. Named for Paul Walker, who passed away in a vehicle accident in 2013, just a few years prior to Pauline’s birth.
“When she was born, he was present in the room.” After Pauline arrived, Diesel said on Today, “I was thinking about no one else than her when I severed this umbilical cord. “I simply knew he was present. It seemed like a means of preserving his memory inside my family and my surroundings.”
Pauline’s unusual affinity with Paul’s daughter is shared by her father, brothers, and herself.
“One of the most lovely things is to watch her with my kids.
“I feel really guarded.
