To commemorate Levi's birthday, Matthew posted a touching montage of family photos on Instagram. The actor's heartfelt voiceover accompanied the images, offering Levi words of wisdom.
"Alright Levi, coming on that age, buddy. About to be out on your own," Matthew began. "Me and your mom hope we've done as good of a job as we can. You're not gonna really have us as a safety net out there in the wonderful, wild world forever. Just go out...enjoy," the proud dad said.
Matthew also reminded Levi to stay vigilant yet authentic. "Be aware of your surroundings, be yourself. Know when to say 'yes,' know when to say 'no,' know when to say 'maybe.' See the good in everybody else but that not everyone else is always paying attention. Take your time. Enjoy the journey," advised the veteran actor.

Matthew's penchant for giving advice is well-known in the family. During an appearance on "The Jennifer Hudson Show" in December 2023, he recalled finding an old magazine photo of three-year-old Levi and a quote he had given expressing his hope that Levi would be "cooler" than him.
Matthew explained to Levi that this meant he hoped his son would excel at being true to himself, even more than the acclaimed actor was striving to do. This guidance proved particularly timely when Matthew revealed that he and Camila had allowed Levi to join social media.
Matthew explained their decision, affirming Levi's readiness for this new digital phase. "We thought he was ready," the actor explained in September 2023. He shared that he and his wife had deliberated for two to three years about the challenges and benefits of social media before allowing their son to join.
During this time, Levi observed his parents' Instagram activities and had discussions with people he admired. Matthew and Camila concluded that Levi had matured enough to manage his own social media responsibly, believing he had gained a sufficient understanding of its complexities.
As Levi ventures into the vast and unpredictable world of social media, Matthew expresses high hopes for his son. He describes Levi as a "very considerate and cool young man" and hopes the world will treat him with the same kindness and respect that Levi shows to others.

Another critic remarked, "You can tell he spotted the paparazzi and sucked in his gut 😃 do we call that a grandpa bod [sic]?" An observant user added, "Ok is he holding his stomach in [sic] ?"
Despite the criticism, many supporters praised Lowe. One fan gushed, "He doesn't age, still looks fantastic!❤️" Another enthused, "He look's fantastic wow cheers 🥂 [sic] " while a different user noted, "He's still so handsome."
Others reminisced about his past appeal, with one remarking, "Rob Lowe is forever young! Such a hottie!!! He has talent as well!😂😂" Another fan echoed, "I actually find him much more attractive now than in the 80's. He was almost too pretty then-now he has some character in his face [sic]."
Lowe's impressive physique reflects his dedication to a fit and healthy lifestyle, a commitment he discussed in February 2024. He stressed the need to improve his diet to keep pace with his active routine, candidly admitting that he has a weakness for sweets.
He recalled learning in his 30s that he couldn't eat like he was in college anymore, which led him to turn to low-calorie snacks from Atkins, a company he recently partnered with.
"I have plenty of willpower right up until the moment that I have absolutely no willpower," the veteran actor said. To combat his sweet tooth, Lowe keeps low-sugar treats like chocolate peanut butter cups on hand, finding them just as satisfying as the sugary versions.
The "Youngblood" alum also emphasized moderation over complete restriction, noting, "I'm trying to be even more disciplined now as I'm older just because as you get older, you need to watch what you eat even more than when you were younger."
Despite the challenges of maintaining a strict diet, Lowe has always excelled in fitness, emphasizing that he's feeling "better" than he ever felt.

Angelina and Knox were seen exiting the pet store, bags in hand, filled with toys and treats. Knox, now towering over his mother, sported a casual ensemble of a T-shirt, black shorts, white socks, and Nike sneakers.

Knox, showcasing toned arms, is seen opening the car's rear to unload their store purchases, while Angelina walks past him with a serious expression.
Photos of Knox and Angelina quickly spread on social media, sparking a flurry of reactions. Many netizens highlighted Knox’s good looks, with one user saying of Knox and his twin sister, "Such a handsome young lad! Viv and him to so much alike!!"

Amidst the admiration and comparisons, one user pointed out, "Wow!! He looks normal," implying that despite being the child of two famous Hollywood celebrities, Knox appears to be like any other typical teenager.
The mother-son duo's recent shopping spree follows another sighting of Knox with his siblings Shiloh, Zahara, and Pax at a trendy coffee shop in Los Feliz in July 2023. During that outing, Knox wore a white shirt, black pants, and sneakers, again drawing attention for his height as he towered over Shiloh, known for her tall stature.
Despite these occasional public appearances, Knox appears uninterested in the spotlight. In 2016, Angelina shared with Entertainment Tonight that her children are not inclined to follow in her footsteps in the entertainment industry.

While promoting "Kung Fu Panda 3," Angelina mentioned that she brought Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and Knox along to provide animal noises for the film's pandas. She also noted their shy personalities. "They don't really want to be actors, but I didn't want them to miss the opportunity. They came in, and they had a lot of fun with it," Angelina explained.
