Don Johnson, 72 in 2022, met his second wife, Kelley Phleger, 53 in 2022, while attending a mutual friend's birthday party. At the time, the actor was starring in the role of Nash Bridges, a San Francisco cop, in the mid-1990s.

The star and the former teacher fell in love and married in 1999. Later that year, the couple had their first child together, daughter Grace, before they expanded their offspring years later.

In 2002, the pair welcomed a son, Jasper, and in 2006, their lastborn son, Deacon, was born. On November 26, 2022, Kelley took to her Instagram account to share some exciting news.

Alongside a video that showed family members, including their children, standing outside lighting flares to reveal the gender of a baby, "The Watchmen" actor's wife shared that someone was expecting a child but didn't explain if it was her and Don or if they were going to be grandparents.

Why Did Don's Ex-wife Melanie Griffith Attend the Gender Reveal?

Don's first ex-wife, Melanie Griffith, with whom he shares a daughter, Dakota, was invited to the gender reveal. On November 28, 2022, the actress shared several Instagram images from the event.

While Don was a present and loving father in 2022, that wasn't always the case with the actor. In the past, the star struggled with some personal issues he had to overcome before being his best self.

How Did Don's Family Make Him a Sober Man and Doting Father?

During a 2019 interview, Don revealed how he overcame alcoholism and became sober because of domestic bliss. He recalled a day when he returned home after "running wild" and hanging with his friends on the weekend, stating:

The star managed to keep a close bond with Dakota and Jesse, his son born in 1982 with actress Patti D'Arbanville. However, a friend said he was "trying to make up for lost time" with the two older children.

The source revealed how he was an involved and doting father to his three younger children. Nothing made the actor happier than having all his offspring together, and Don's most important job lately was being a good role model.

His journey to becoming serene and at peace with himself was long. Don revealed he didn't struggle with any more vices in his life, but with a grin, he said the only one was his five children.
