Robin Williams' Son Makes Dad 'Proud' & Has 'Same Smile' in Pics - Actor's Kids Spent His Last Birthday Together

• Legendary actor Robin Williams was a loving father of three, and his children are all grown-up now.
• The actor's oldest son is his carbon copy and makes his dad proud in different ways.
• Robin's daughter opened up about how they celebrated the actor's last birthday together three weeks before his tragic death.

Legendary comedian and actor Robin Williams was best known for his roles in titles like "Mrs. Doubtfire," "Mork and Mindy,” “Dead Poet's Society,” “Popeye," and "Good Will Hunting.”

Williams was also the father of three children, who are now adults. While his children were growing up, Williams said he loved watching them learn about the world and enjoyed seeing things through their eyes.

Once, Williams talked about how it felt for him to be a father to his three children and what they meant to him. He gushed:

"My children give me a great sense of wonder. Just to see them develop into these extraordinary human beings."

Out of all the roles he played, being a father was one of the actor's favorite. However, he was not very lucky in love until he married Susan Schneider, who remained married to until his death.

Williams was married three times, and it was with his first two wives that he welcomed his children. Williams and his first wife, Valerie Velardie, married in 1978. By 1983, they had welcomed their first child, Zak.

Zak tried his hand at acting, but after his father's death, he pursued a different path by founding his own company to help people like his father who were suffering from anxiety and depression.

Zak's company, Prepare Your Mind, sells what they call "mood chews," which are gummies that help regulate the body's hormone levels to assist with symptoms of depression and anxiety.

When Williams and Velardi divorced in 1988, he married Marsha Grace. Grace was Zak's nanny, but she and Williams welcomed a daughter, Zelda, together. Their daughter was born six months after their wedding in 1989.

Zelda became the child to follow her father's path in the entertainment industry and even starred alongside her father in titles like "In Search of Dr. Seuss," and "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time."

Zelda's younger brother, Cody, was born to her mother and father in 1991; Cody has remained private but appeared in his father's 2018 documentary, "Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind." He also married his wife on his father's birthday in 2019.

He joked that when each of his children was born, he had two visions: one was of them winning a Nobel prize, and the other was of them serving food at a fast food chain. Yet all his children made him incredibly proud in their different pursuits.

How Does Williams' Son Make Him Proud?

While Zak did not accept a Nobel Prize like his father envisioned when he was born, he did accept the Don't Mind Me Foundation's 2nd Annual Action for Mental Health Advocacy Award on Valentine's Day this year.

He shared photos from the event on his Instagram page and talked about the honor of accepting the award after all the hard work he had done in the mental health sphere, and thanked those who organized the event.

While many fans acknowledged his achievement and said how wonderful it was that he was recognized for what he had done, others couldn't get past the striking resemblance he bears to his father.

One commented he had the same smile as his father, while another congratulated him before telling him he looked exactly like his dad in the pictures. Others said his father would be immensely proud of him.

A fan said it was "brilliant" that he was being acknowledged for his work in the mental health space and that his father would be proud of him. Another said:

"Congratulations [Zak], and thank you for all that you do to help support us and advocate for our mental health. Your father is without a doubt looking down so very proud of you."

Zak has also shared photos of himself speaking with an entrepreneurship class at UCLA about his company. Once again, fans saw the resemblance to his father in the pictures. One said all they could see in the photos was Williams.

While fans think that Zak's father would be proud of him, he knows that his wife and children are cheering him on each time he makes a new advancement with his business.

Zak is the husband of Olivia June and the father of their two children. Zak has one son and one daughter, who resemble both their mother and father with their blonde hair and blue eyes.

Zak is proud to be a husband and father, showing his family often on social media. In October last year, he shared photos of himself and Olivia on Instagram to mark their second wedding anniversary.

In the first photo, Olivia and Zak stood side by side and smiled at the camera as Olivia held their son, who wore a suit. In the caption, Zak effused:

"Two years in, and it just keeps getting better. Happy anniversary, [Olivia]! I love you!!"

Olivia also shares special occasions on social media, like Christmas. On December 26 last year, Olivia shared photos of herself, Zak, and their two children dressed in all red as they posed around their fireplace and Christmas tree.

Olivia also showed that Zak shared his father's comedic side when she shared a video of Zak and his children for Father's Day last year. Olivia called Zack "the best part" and wished him a Happy Father's Day.

How Did Robin Williams' Kids Wish Him A Happy Birthday?

Williams passed away by suicide in 2014 at the age of 63. He had been suffering with his health for some time before his death and was posthumously diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia.

After his death, each of his children shared moving tributes to their father, in which they detailed what it was like to live with him. Zelda even shared what the family had done on Williams' last earthly birthday.

In her tribute, Zelda said she and her family kept their family life private to keep a piece of their father to themselves as they were used to sharing him with the entire world.

Zelda's last day with her father was his birthday, just before he passed away. She expressed gratitude for being able to spend the time with him and her brothers before he was gone.

Zelda described her father as "warm even in his darkest moments" and said she found some comfort that many others would share her grieving process as her father meant so much to his fans. She then said:

"The entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful, and less full of laughter in his absence. We'll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again."

She thanked Williams' fans for all the loving words they sent to her and her family and said that her father loved each of his fans. Williams' children certainly love him and have made him proud.
