Who Are Jack Nicholson’s Six Kids?
Jack Nicholson is one of those actors who has had quite a dramatic personal life. He has been linked to countless women over the years and fathered six children with five women. The children range in age from 61 to 30, and while several of his children are estranged from their father, some have followed in his footsteps into acting careers.

While Nicholson has never publicly claimed his youngest daughter, Tessa, she confirmed that she was his daughter in a piece for Newsweek last year. She wrote, “The truth is, in all of my 28 years of life, we have never had a relationship. Although I flew from New York City to Los Angeles to meet on the odd occasion as a young girl (at the behest of my mother), it was always clear that he wanted no part in my life. Have you ever been on a date and sensed that the other person just wasn’t feeling it? That’s pretty much how every interaction I have ever had with Jack Nicholson has gone.” Her mother is Jennine Gourin. Tessa has expressed an interest in acting but was afraid to be blacklisted because of her connection to Nicholson.
