Shea Joelle James Pursues a Career in Acting - Meet Kevin James’ Daughter

Shea Joelle James, Kevin James' daughter, was born in Los Angeles and has been in a handful of her father's projects. The comedian speaks about his kids in general terms, but some details of his second eldest child sometimes have filtered through.

Kevin James has made a name for himself as an actor and comedian. He has been married for almost two decades and has four kids. One of his daughters is Shea Joelle James, who recently turned sixteen.

Kevin James' daughter, whose mother is Steffiana De La Cruz, rarely appears on social media. However, much like his frequent collaborator, Adam Sandler, the comedian has involved his children in his projects. As of mid-2023, Shea Joelle James has four credits on IMDb.

Kevin James' Daughter Was Born Two Weeks Early

Shea came into the world on June 14, 2007, a few weeks ahead of her expected due date of July 1. "I just love being a dad and spending time with my wife and child, and now we're having another girl," Kevin said when announcing the pregnancy:

"It's incredible."

Shea has an older sister, Sienna-Marie James. However, she is not the last child of her parents, as she later became an older sister to Kannon Valentine James and Sistine Sabella James.

Shea Joelle James Has Been Acting since She Was a Middle Schooler

Although her dad said his kids prefer being behind the camera, she made her big screen debut as the Little Girl in "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2" in 2015. That same year, she was the Classroom Scout Girl in "Pixels," which starred Adam Sandler and her dad.

He rarely posts about his family frequently but shared a snap of them in February 2021.

When Kevin returned to sitcoms with "Kevin Can Wait," he conceded that it was his first show with kids but was "excited about that." He quipped, "I have four kids of my own, and I've been breeding them for nothing but comedy."

Shea played two characters in the first season of "Kevin Can Wait." She was Trick or Treater 2 in episode seven and returned as Lucy towards the end of the season.

In the 2020 Netflix film "Hubie Halloween," she and her sisters, Sienna-Mariea and Sistine, played Cooky and Danielle's friends, portrayed by Adam's daughters Sunny Sandler and Sadie Sandler.

It was a family affair with their dad playing Sgt. Steve Downey and Kannon portrayed the Exorcist Costume Kid. At the beginning of 2022, the James siblings acted alongside their dad in a production of "Oliver."

Shea Joelle James' Parents Had a Big Catholic Wedding

Steffiana and Kevin James said their "I dos" in a Catholic church in Dana Point, Orange County, in June 2004. The guest list of 180 included Ray Romano and Clint Eastwood.

"19 years… 4 kids… and a lot of peanut butter and jelly… You are my world," the comedian wrote on June 20, 2023. He rarely posts about his family but shared a snap of them in February 2021 during a trip to Disney World.

Shea's mom is a model with many acting credits, starting with an episode of the German series "Die Gang" in 1997. She played multiple characters in her husband's sitcom, "The King of Queens," between 2002 and 2006 and acted with him in two episodes of "Kevin Can Wait."
