How many children does Morgan Freeman have?
MORGAN Freeman is famously known for his roles in Million Dollar Baby and The Dark Knight trilogy.
Similar to himself, the Oscar winner’s kids have decided to follow in his footsteps.
How many children does Morgan Freeman have?
Morgan Freeman has four children; two named sons Alfonso and Saifoulaye, as well as daughters Deena and Morgana.
The Batman Begins actor is also a grandfather and a great-grandfather.
Regarding his life as a parent, Morgan confessed: “I’m not sure fatherhood changed me.
“You have to be married to be a father. I sired a couple of kids without being married, but that doesn’t make you a father.”
He shared with the Telegraph: “It took a while for me to become a father.
“I was busy trying to be an actor, and the two didn’t really go together in my youth.
“Now, I am in my dotage. I am a great-grandfather. I’m not a hands-on grandfather.
“I haven’t changed diapers. But when I had daughters, I changed theirs.
“Being hands-on makes a difference in your child’s life.”
Alfonso Freeman
Born on September 13, 1959, Alfonso is the eldest of Morgan’s kids.
Raised between Los Angeles and Compton, he is a product of Morgan’s past relationship with Loletha Adkins.
Just like his famous father, Alfonso is also an actor; they’ve appeared in two projects together.
He has had roles alongside Morgan in The Shawshank Redemption and Se7en.
On August 20, 1994, Alfonso tied the knot with his second wife Larcenia Letice.
From his previous marriage to Cynthia Gafford, he has three children.
Morgan is a grandfather to Donovan, Joshua, and Alfonso Jr.
Saifoulaye Freeman
Born in 1960, Saifoulaye is the second eldest of Morgan’s four children.
In contrast to his father and older brother, he lives a relatively quiet life.
Deena Freeman
During his marriage to Jeanette Adair Bradshaw, Morgan adopted his then-wife’s daughter Deena; his eldest daughter and third child.
While working as a celebrity hairstylist, Deena styled her father for The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.
She had one daughter named E’Dena Hines, whose life was tragically cut short on August 16, 2015.
“The world will never know her artistry and talent, and how much she had to offer,” Morgan said of her death to E! News.
“Her friends and family were fortunate enough to have known what she meant as a person.
“Her star will continue to shine bright in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. May she rest in peace.”
Morgana Freeman
Morgana is Morgan and Jeanette’s second daughter together.
Morgana has dabbled in acting as well, appearing with her father in Death of a Prophet.
