Luke Wilson and Kendall Yates have welcomed their first child together! The 54-year-old Old School actor and his 24-year-old girlfriend were spotted with their newborn at an event for Wilson’s upcoming Netflix series, The Hawk, at the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California. While many fans are happy for the couple, most can’t get past the 30-year-age gap. Keep reading for more information.

Luke Wilson Welcomes A Baby With His 24-Year-Old Girlfriend

According to reports, Wilson and Yates introduced their new baby girl to other attendees at the event and appear to be in quite the newborn bubble. The pair have been romantically linked since at least 2023, with potential for even earlier, as they have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye. They were last spotted together back in April on a leisurely walk on the beach.

The Legally Blonde star has said in the past that he'd like a family at some point in his life, though many fans didn't think he'd make one with someone young enough to be his daughter, "I don't have a girlfriend, but I wouldn't mind one," Wilson said back in 2007 in an interview with People. "I definitely want [kids] at some point."

Social Media Reactions

Across social media platforms, users were not afraid to crack jokes at Wilson's expense, though many simply reacted with disgust. "She'll be closer in age to her baby than her boyfriend," one user wrote on Facebook.

"Old enough to be his kid's grandfather," pointed out another.

"Couldn't find a barf reaction, so had to comment here," a third person posted.

"What a weird age gap," another person said plainly.

"That is so creepy," said another.

"Luuuuuuke—24?! Come on now," one user wrote. "Can't find someone your own age. Jeez."

"I wonder what these two have in common other than this child," another user questioned.

"Ewwwww, come on," a final user wrote. "This is so disappointing and gross."
