Delilah Fishburne grew up watching her parents in the spotlight as actors. Despite their celebrity status, she remains a very private person.

Birth of Delilah Fishburne
Laurence and Gina announced they were expecting their first child together on January 6, 2007. At that time, the "Matrix" star was already a father to two teenage kids, Langston and Madison, whom he had during his previous marriage.
Although the couple kept most of their pregnancy details private, they welcomed Delilah on June 16, 2007. On her 15th birthday, Delilah's mother shared photos from the celebrant's childhood until her teen years. The actress said:
"It is an honor and a glorious ride being your mom. 15!?!? Whaaat?!? I love you so much and am so proud of the young and glorious person you are and continue to become [sic]."
Delilah Fishburne's Family
Although blessed with a beautiful daughter, Delilah's parents' relationship did not end well for the family. Laurence and Gina first met on the set of "The Matrix Revolutions" and continued to work together until "The Matrix Reloaded" premiered.
The duo tied the knot in 2002, but after 14 years of marriage, they decided to go their separate ways. The pair quietly divorced in 2016, but it wasn't until September 2017 that they announced their amicable split. The actors remained friends and kept Delilah their top priority.
In a statement released to the public, the "Suits" star revealed that neither party wronged the other. The decision to call it quits was mutual, and they remained committed to raising Delilah as a team.
Soon after their divorce, both actors moved on with their romantic lives and dated other people. Delilah's mom started a relationship with Kevin Wright, an entrepreneur, while Laurence took Bronwyn Anne Moylan to the Marrakech International Film Festival, sparking dating rumors.
Delilah Fishburne's Relationship with Her Parents
Despite her parents' split, Delilah has a good relationship with both of them. In a previous interview, Laurence revealed they co-parented Delilah well and continued to love and respect each other.
Delilah made a rare public appearance during the 75th annual Tony Awards alongside her father. Delilah looked stunning and grown up in a neon green one-shoulder dress. She let her long tresses loose for the occasion while smiling for the cameras.

Her father stood beside her in a beige suit and brown hat. Throughout the event, Delilah and Laurence looked like they had a great time and were all smiles.
Although Delilah does not appear with her mom as much, the teen sometimes appears on her mother's Instagram account. In 2021, the actress called Delilah her "forever Valentine" alongside a lovely photo collection of precious moments together throughout the years.
"My love for this child crushes me in every way. And I wouldn't have it any other way," Gina also penned in her caption.
Delilah Fishburne's Siblings
Delilah has two half-siblings from her father's marriage to Hajna O. Moss. However, their relationship is not talked about. Her eldest sibling, Montana Fishburne, was born on September 7, 1991, and was raised in an unconventional family setting. At two years old, Montana's parents had already separated.
Nevertheless, she was provided with a comfortable life, having been educated in a private institution and traveling worldwide. In 2010, Delilah's sister announced her aspiration to become an adult film star at 19.
Fortunately, the actor's son, Langston, chose a career his dad approves.
In a previous interview, Montana claimed that she had always been comfortable in her skin and wanted to have that line of work. She also revealed that Kim Kardashian's 2007 sex tape leak inspired her to become an adult film star.

According to Montana, the "Keeping Up With The Kardashian" star's rise to fame after the video's release was impressive, so she planned her entry into the industry. She reportedly left her career after getting in trouble with the law and pursuing a club dancer job.
Sadly, her relationship with Laurence has been broken and not yet fixed since choosing to become an adult film star. He told his daughter that she embarrassed him, especially as she did not bother using a stage last name.
Laurence Fishburne, an Oscar-nominated Hollywood actor, starred in several notable films, including "Boyz N The Hood" and "The Ice Road." His ex-wife is also a well-known actress with several movies and television credits under her belt.

Fortunately, the actor's son, Langston, has followed in his footsteps and chosen a career his dad approves. Langston joined the entertainment industry as an actor and producer, known for appearing in "Discontinued," "Deadlock," and "Ant-Man and the Wasp."
With one son who has joined the entertainment industry, fans wonder if Langston and Gina's daughter, Delilah, will one day follow in their career path as well.
