When his wife gave birth to his daughter Lochlyn Kyla Vaughn in 2010, actor Vince Vaughn was 40 years old. He was an established star with a highly successful twenty-year career, and almost a year after marrying Kyla Weber, he became a father.

From the moment of her birth, Lochlyn Kyla Vaughn profoundly affected her father's life, transforming the actor's attitude and motivation. The baby made Vince Vaughn a family man.

Chicago man Vince Vaughn was born on March 28, 1970, and at the age of 17, he decided to become an actor. He broke into show business in the late 80s and early 90s in a series of roles in TV shows like "China Beach," "21 Jump Street," "Doogie Howser, M.D.," and "Saturday Night Live."

Vaughn came into his own on the silver screen, landing a role in the Steven Spielberg blockbuster "The Lost World: Jurassic." He showed major acting chops in the 1998 remake of "Psycho," in which he played the most iconic fictional serial killer of them all, Norman Bates.

Vaughn was introduced to Weber through friends and proposed to her after dating for a year and a half on Valentine's Day with a four-carat sparkler.

The actor was a huge success in comedy movies like "Wedding Crashers," "Couples Retreat," "The Break-up," and "Freaky." But Vaughn embraced his most challenging role when he married Canadian realtor Kyla Weber on January 2, 2010.

On December 18, 2010, Vaughn and his wife welcomed their first child: Lochlyn Kyla Vaughn. Within a year, Vaughn had become a husband and a father, which profoundly impacted his life. He revealed:

“It gives you a different purpose. I’ll tell you… When Kyla and I had the first pediatrician appointment, we gotta get the car seat and put it in the back of the car. Kyla buckled up and I got in the car. And I was like, ‘We’re a family.’"

Little Lochlyn has a rich ancestry, which includes great-grandparents from Kentucky, great-great-grandparents from Lebanon, a great-grandfather of Italian origins, and a great-great-grandmother of English, Irish, and German descent.

Lochlyn inherited her beautiful blue eyes and long dark tresses from her mom. Vaughn confessed that he has become more concerned about the future since his daughter's birth and has even started considering college applications.

Lochlyn Kyla Vaughn Was Obsessed with a Disney Character

In 2015, Vaughn confessed to Ellen DeGeneres that his then-five-year-old daughter Lochlyn was obsessed with Elsa, the character from Disney's hit animation movie "Frozen." Reportedly, Lochlyn loved dressing up as Elsa and "freezing" her dad. He said:

"I’ll freeze, but then she’ll kiss me and unfreeze me. And so then I say to her: ‘You don’t have to shut me out because if you do freeze me you’ll kiss me to unfreeze me.'”

Vaughn was referring to Elsa's fear of getting close to anyone in case she hurt them, something he worried might impact Lochlyn psychologically. In 2020, Vaughn shared that Lochlyn is a fan of comedies and had enjoyed his film "Dodgeball," so she came through the "Frozen" experience unscathed.

Lochlyn Kyla Vaughn Is Not the Only Child in the Family

Lochlyn didn't enjoy her status as an only child for long because on August 7, 2013, Vaughn and Weber welcomed their second child, a son named Vernon Lindsay Vaughn. Little Vernon was named after his paternal grandfather.

Grandpa Vernon Vaughn is a big supporter of his son's career, and he played Vince Vaughn's screen dad in the 2009 film "Couples Retreat." He also appeared in five other Vince Vaughn movies.

Little Vernon and Lochlyn's mom keeps a low profile, but she is a devoted wife and mother. Vaughn was introduced to Weber through friends and proposed to her after dating for a year and a half on Valentine's Day with a four-carat sparkler. Curiously, Weber shares Vaughn's mom's profession.

Lochlyn's Public Appearances

Over the years, Vaughn and Weber have been careful to keep their children out of the public eye. Lochlyn's only recorded official public appearance was on March 4, 2015, when Vaughn was honored with the hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX.

Lochlyn, then four, wore a frothy gauze dress, a lovely lilac ribbon in her hair, and pretty, sparkly metallic pink Baby Janes. More recently, in May 2020, the Vaughn family -- parents and two offspring -- was seen taking a casual walk in Los Angeles with their dog during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The most recent sighting of Lochlyn was in September 2022. The now-11-year-old was spotted going to the movies with her famous dad at Universal City Walk. Fans mobbed the actor and the preteen, and Vaughn was kind enough to pose for a few selfies.
