Luke Wilson, 54, and Kendall Yates Welcome Their First Child

The newborn was brought to a July 7 industry press reception and the appearance has drawn attention because of the couple’s 30-year age difference.

Overview

  • The couple brought their newborn daughter to a press reception for Luke Wilson’s Netflix series The Hawk at The Resort at Pelican Hill on Tuesday, July 7, and introduced the baby to guests and castmates including Jimmy Tatro.
  • People published an exclusive on July 8 reporting the quiet birth and multiple outlets subsequently corroborated the account.
  • Many social-media posts focused on the 30-year age gap between Wilson, 54, and Kendall Yates, 24, and that response included both congratulations and sharp criticism.
  • Wilson’s representatives did not immediately respond to media inquiries after the initial reports, and Wilson later told People at The Hawk premiere that he is “very proud” to be a new dad.
  • The couple have dated since at least 2023 and kept their relationship private, and Wilson — who has long spoken about wanting children — now joins his brothers Owen and Andrew in parenthood.
