Single Jack Nicholson, 85, does his best for his five children, especially the youngest daughter and son.
In 2023, it turns out he has a 6th child, a daughter, whom he doesn’t want to accept.
Famous movie star, Jack Nicholson, has been a Hollywood staple for many years and has been incredibly successful in the movie industry. However, he also has a home life that is just as fulfilling for him.
Nicholson is the father of five children, and he loves being a father. He tries to make as much time as possible for all his children, even though he is busy with his career. He spends most of his time with his youngest children
Nicholson’s children are Jennifer, Caleb, Honey, Lorraine, and Ray. The youngest are Lorraine and Ray. While Nicholson is single, he has praised his children’s mothers, saying they were wonderful and mentioning that they co-parent well together.
Talking about how he spends his time with his children, Nicholson says he tries to be a good influence for his children without being overbearing. He wants his children to find out who they are on their own.
The actor said that he did things with his children that they might not enjoy, like going to the opera, because he knew that it would help them become well-rounded when they got older.
He also shared that he read to his children from the time they were children, as he believed it built a bond and helped the children develop. His daughter, Jennifer, shared her feelings about her father, saying:
“I like being Jack Nicholson’s daughter, and I’m proud of him.”
While reading and the opera are essential activities to Nicholson and his children, he also likes to do things with them that err on the side of fun and games rather than culture. Usually, he does this by attending LA Lakers basketball games.
Nicholson has often been seen courtside at Lakers games, and his children join him at some of the games. He is often seen with his daughter, Lorraine, and son, Ray, at the Lakers games. He was last seen at a Lakers game with Ray in 2020.
The actor also includes his children in special Hollywood occasions, like in 2007, when Nicholson and his daughter dressed up and attended the Golden Globe Awards together, where they walked the red carpet.
The Truth is That Nicholson Has One More Child
Nicholson has been in many relationships which resulted in his children. However, there was one relationship, 30 years ago, that resulted in a child that Nicholson wasn’t as open about as he was about his other children.
In 1993, a waitress, Jennine Gourin, revealed that she and Nicholson had had an affair. She became pregnant, with Nicholson offering to pay all her hospital bills and care for her and the child financially.
In August 1994, Gourin and Nicholson’s daughter was born. Nicholson sent Gourin flowers, and she confirmed:
“Jack was my first love. I thought he loved me. I had the best time of my life with him.”
The pair met while Gourin was waitressing at an exclusive Hollywood nightclub called “The Monkey Bar.” They had been seeing each other in secret for months before Gourin confirmed she was carrying Nicholson’s child.

Thirty years after she was born, Nicholson’s son with Gourin, Tessa, broke her silence about being abandoned by her father emotionally. She revealed that she had flown out to see him several times when she was younger, but they were never close. She said they “never had a relationship.
