How Geena Davis' Daughter and 20-Year-Old Twins Look Now – See Their Rare Photos

Geena Davis, a Hollywood icon, is a proud mother of three — daughter Alizeh and twin sons Kaiis and Kian. While her kids largely stay out of the spotlight, rare glimpses into their lives reveal their remarkable growth, talents, and striking resemblance to their famous mom.

Before she made it to the big screen, Geena Davis, who always dreamed of becoming an actress, worked as a sales clerk and waitress. She eventually landed a position at Ann Taylor, where she rose to become a Saturday window mannequin.

However, while building her career, little did the actress know that motherhood would one day become one of her most cherished roles. Her persistence in pursuing her acting dreams paid off when she signed to the Zoli Agency as a model.

This led to an appearance in the Victoria's Secret catalog. It was through this opportunity that director Sydney Pollack discovered her. Struck by her potential, he cast her in the 1982 film "Tootsie."

The success of the movie launched her Hollywood career, allowing her to build a life that included both her thriving work and, years later, her beloved family.

After "Tootsie," Geena relocated to Los Angeles, where she landed a role on the short-lived but critically praised TV series "Buffalo Bill" in 1983. Around the same time, she experienced her first marriage to restaurant manager Richard Emmolo, which ended in divorce.

Though her personal life faced challenges, Geena pressed forward in her career. Her success continued with roles in "The Fly" in 1986, alongside her second husband, Jeff Goldblum, and the blockbuster "Beetlejuice" in 1988.

Her performance in "The Accidental Tourist" that same year earned her critical acclaim, and she cemented her legacy with her Oscar-winning role in "Thelma and Louise."

However, as the actress entered her forties, she noticed a dramatic shift in her career. She reflected, "Once I had a four in front of my age, I fell off the cliff. I really did."

"In the early stages of my career, I was blithely going along thinking, 'Meryl Streep, Jessica Lange, and Sally Field, they're all making these great female-centric movies. And I'm getting these great roles [...].' But suddenly, the great roles were incredibly scarce. It was a big difference," she added.

This challenging shift in her professional life coincided with her decision to focus on motherhood, which she later described as one of her greatest joys.

Her second marriage to Jeff ended in divorce, as did her marriage to director Renny Harlin, with whom she worked on the 1995 film "Cutthroat Island."

However, her most recent marriage, to surgeon Reza Jarrahy, brought her the children she always knew she wanted. Geena and Reza welcomed daughter Alizeh when Geena was 46 and twins Kaiis and Kian when she was 48.

Geena remarked on her late-in-life motherhood, "I always felt lucky that I had my kids late because I just feel like I changed so much. I always knew I wanted kids, but what I was doing waiting that long, I don't know. I never tried before, in other words. But it's been great. And twins are fun!"

After her divorce from Reza, which was finalized in 2021, Geena worked to keep her family's private matters out of public scrutiny. As part of their divorce agreement, their children's last names were changed from Davis-Jarrahy to simply Jarrahy, with Davis becoming a second middle name for each of them.

Despite the difficulties of her personal life, Geena has always found joy in her children and what they bring to her life. The actress opened up about how much her kids have taught her, especially in today's digital age.

"Tragically, I'm technology-dependent on my kids," she joked. "I learn so much from them. They're generous with their time and really interested in social issues."

It was also her experience as a mother that sparked her advocacy for gender balance and diversity in media. As a mom, she became increasingly aware of how female characters were underrepresented in the media her kids consumed.

"From when they were little, I've always watched movies and TV with them, and I would often lean over to say, 'There's only boys in that scene. Why do you think that is?'" she explained.

"I was bothered by the idea that we were showing kids a very imbalanced world from the beginning…I saw that there were so far fewer female characters than male characters," the Oscar winner added.

This realization became the foundation of her now decades-long mission to promote equality. Furthermore, her daughter became a driving force behind one of Geena's most impactful endeavors.

Alizeh Davis Jarrahy

Geena's eldest child, her daughter Alizeh, has played an influential role in her mother's life and advocacy work. In fact, it was Alizeh who inspired Geena to launch the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media in 2007, an organization dedicated to analyzing how women and girls are represented onscreen.

The actress shared, "The impetus was my daughter. I was very aware of the lack of great female characters in film because I was living it."

Geena also noted how her experience with films like "Thelma and Louise" opened her eyes to the profound impact strong female characters can have.

"When 'Thelma and Louise' came out, the reaction was so overwhelming that it made me realize how few opportunities we have for women to feel like that coming out of a movie — to feel empowered and inspired by the female characters," she said.

However, as a mother, Geena was especially disturbed by the state of children's media. "I had no clue that children's media in the 21st century would be wildly imbalanced," she admitted.

Now 22 years old, Alizeh seems to have inherited her mother's passion for the arts. According to her LinkedIn profile, she studies Music Industry and Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California.

Her father proudly celebrated her milestone birthday in April 2023, sharing a heartfelt Instagram post that read, "Where have 21 years gone?!? 🥲🥲🥲."

Social media users have also commented on how Alizeh has grown into a beautiful young woman, drawing comparisons to her famous mother.

"Looks like her mom" one social media user commented on an Instagram post of the 22-year-old with her father. Another shared, "Wow! She's all grown up! So beautiful! ❤️" A third typed, "Gorgeous!"

Kaiis and Kian Davis Jarrahy

Geena's twin sons, Kaiis and Kian, have grown into impressive young men who continue to garner public attention. The twins celebrated their 19th birthday in 2023, with their father marking the milestone on Instagram with a heartfelt and humorous tribute.

"19 years! It's been 19 thousand headaches 🙄and 19 billion joys ❤️❤️❤️ so much love and pride for these boys," he wrote, sharing his love and admiration for them.

Kaiis has shown a strong commitment to academics, as his LinkedIn profile lists him as a Dean's List Environmental Studies major at the University of Washington.

Meanwhile, both twins have accompanied their mother to various public outings over the years, showcasing their close family bond. In 2017, Kaiis joined his parents at the UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital event presenting Kaleidoscope 5, with the family donning smiles.

In September 2022, the actress stepped out with her other twin son Kian to attend the 74th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards held at the Microsoft Theater.

A year later, Geena and Kian were back in front of the camera for the 9th Annual Bentonville Film Festival in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Though they largely stay out of the spotlight, the twins have caught public attention over the years. "He has risen🫣🙏🥳" one person commented on the post in honor of the twins' birthday. Another shared, "Gemini babies rock…"

Geena Davis' three children have grown into remarkable young adults, each carving their own path. As a devoted mother, Geena has drawn inspiration from her kids in both her personal life and advocacy work, proving that her greatest legacy lies not just in Hollywood, but in the family she has lovingly nurtured.
