Alizeh Keshvar Davis Jarrahy drew her first breath in April 2002, born to Geena Davis and her ex-husband, Dr. Reza Jarrahy. She arrived seven months after the former couple tied the knot. Her parents raised her privately, but her mom frequently gave insight into her life.

The "Thelma and Louise" star, who became a mom in her mid-40s, has spoken about parenting her kids and how, through Alizeh's eyes, she became more conscious of how the media instilled unequal gender views in kids.

Between January and May of that year, Alizeh worked for musician Dontae Winslow. She then moved to Live Out L!ve, serving as their Social Media Intern until August 2021. During her time with Dontae and Live Out L!ve, in March 2021, she joined MPath Music as a Production Intern.

In May 2021, Alizeh was promoted to Supervisory Intern and remained until April 2022. The following month, she started as a part-time Box Office Attendant for Goldenvoice. She's currently staying in the Los Angeles Metropolitan area.

Alizeh Keshvar Davis Jarrahy's Imaginative Young Mind

In a 2006 interview, Geena, who divorced her husband in 2021, briefly shared how imaginative her daughter's young mind was. Alizeh enjoyed princess stories but also liked adding her own twist.

"She likes to tell stories about Snow White going into the forest where she meets an evil witch," Geena explained. However, instead of how the story usually goes, Snow White has a magic wand in Alizeh's version that turns the evil witch into "a nice witch."

The actress celebrated Alizeh's 21st birthday in 2023, marveling at how much she had grown. "Where have 21 years gone?!?" she cried, alongside a long thread of photos chronicling Alizeh's childhood.

Alizeh has an Instagram account, but it is currently private. Still, she occasionally appears on her parents' socials. On Father's Day in 2020, her dad shared two photos with the hashtag #happyfathersday; one showed them smiling for the camera as they leaned on a motorcycle.

The other was a selfie he'd taken with her brothers Kaiis Steven and Kian William Jarrahy. In May that year, Reza posted a lovely photo of himself and Alizeh dressed formally, quoting the Alicia Keys lyric, "She's just a girl, and she's on fire… #mybabygirlsallgrownup."

Geena Davis Helped Shape Her Daughter's Perception of Gender

In 2016, Geena recalled watching "Mulan" with Alizeh when the scene where Mulan is rejected from the army after she is discovered to be a girl. Alizeh was five at the time and was saddened. "Why can't girls be in the army?" she asked her mom.

Geena (once married to Jeff Goldblum) had always told Alizeh, whom she welcomed at age 46, that she could accomplish anything. But in that moment, she realized that Alizeh was growing in a world that wouldn't always reinforce that belief.

She acknowledged that she couldn't stop the media from subconsciously instilling "disempowering messages" in her daughter, regardless of how much she limited her exposure. "But I can tell her that it's wrong. I can teach her that it's unfair and needs to change," she said. The mom of three also extends those teachings to her sons.
