Jeff Goldblum, at 71, has experienced life's significant changes, including marriage to a considerably younger partner, his third marriage, in fact. Goldblum's first marriage was to Patricia Gaul, who was seven years his senior. His next marriage was to the actress Gina Davis, who is three years younger than him and co-starred with him in the comedy "Earth Girls Are Easy." Currently, Goldblum is married to former gymnast Emilie Livingston, who is 30 years younger than him.
Despite the potential challenges that fatherhood at an older age might introduce to his family, especially for his children, the couple has decided to have two children. Today, at the age of 71, Goldblum is the father of an eight-year-old and a six-year-old.
In an interview a few years ago, he shared his thoughts on his decision, noting that he constantly thinks about their future and his own. He mentioned that whenever he buys a watch, he thinks about who will inherit it, and expressed his gladness for having waited, as experiencing fatherhood at this stage is wonderful.
Jeff Goldblum will not leave his wealth to his children
Recently, Jeff Goldblum appeared on the podcast "Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi," where he discussed, among other topics, his stance on passing wealth to his children, succinctly stating that everyone should steer their own boat.

He emphasized that teaching children this principle is crucial, asserting that he won't do everything for them, and they wouldn't want him to.
When the time comes, he intends to share parental advice with his sons that they will have to find out what's important and necessary for themselves, ideally something that aligns with their interests. And even if it doesn't, they might still have to pursue it.
