Jason Statham, 56, Praised as a ‘Very Hands-On’ Dad While Keeping His Kids Out of the Public Eye
|Jason Statham and his fiancée, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, are taking their time with marriage plans, despite being engaged since 2016.
The couple, who have two children, choose to keep their family life private, steering clear of publicizing their personal moments.
On the rare occasions that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley shares family pictures, fans have enthusiastically commented on the glimpses into the couple’s private life.
“The Meg” star Jason Statham and his fiancée Rosie Huntington-Whiteley have been engaged since 2016, despite having been together since 2010. Over five years into their engagement, the couple shows no rush to wed.
They share two children, Jack, aged 6, and Isabella, aged 1. Despite their growing family, they have maintained a low-key approach to their relationship and have kept their children’s faces off social media.
In 2018, two years after their engagement, the former Victoria’s Secret model was asked about their wedding plans. Huntington-Whiteley expressed that marriage was not a high priority for her and Statham at the time. With their son Jack only 16 months old then, she was more focused on parenting and advancing her career. She mentioned that they might consider marriage when Jack is a bit older, so he can play a part in the ceremony.
The source hinted that Huntington-Whiteley and Statham might expand their family further before considering marriage, and it could even be their children who eventually prompt them to tie the knot—a suggestion to which they would happily agree.
Huntington-Whiteley captivated her fans on May 23, 2022, by sharing a beautiful photo of herself breastfeeding Isabella.
The insider reassured fans not to worry about the couple’s future, emphasizing that whether married or not, their relationship remains strong. Currently, Huntington-Whiteley and Statham are focused on raising their children and possibly expanding their family.
The Chesterfield native and his fiancée were thrilled when they welcomed their son Jack on June 24, 2017. Huntington-Whiteley enjoyed the early days with Jack immensely, finding joy in his playful gibberish.
She also commended Statham for being an exceptional father. She highlighted how he willingly takes on early morning duties with their son, allowing her some extra sleep. “He’s very hands-on, he’s a brilliant dad, I am very lucky, he’s a great partner,” she expressed.
The former model described Jack as an active and healthy baby who kept Statham busy, as he would frequently run around and was quick on his feet. When asked about his parenting style, the actor admitted he is the softer parent compared to his fiancée, often finding it hard to resist his kids’ requests.
Huntington-Whiteley, who cherished motherhood with Jack, hoped to expand her family and was overjoyed to welcome her second child, a girl, on February 3, 2022. She announced the arrival on Instagram with a photo showing her baby girl, Isabella, in a bassinet. Although Isabella’s face was concealed, her tiny hand was visible in the image.
Huntington-Whiteley and Statham are cautious about their children’s exposure on social media. The former model only shares limited glimpses of their lives. Reflecting on her early days as a mother, she expressed a desire for Jack to have a normal upbringing, aware of his parents’ careers but with a focus on family time at home. She is mindful of the permanence of online content and prefers to keep her children’s lives private:
“Jack might grow up one day and want to be a doctor, a lawyer, a solicitor, or an architect and might not want his face all over the internet. … It’s not about publicizing those private moments for us.”

She expressed her gratitude, writing, “Happy Father’s Day and thank you for being an amazing dad to our babies.”
