Shortly after she and Paul tied the knot, Connelly gave birth to Stellan Bettany.
In 2011, daughter Agnes Bettany arrived.
In 2012, the mother of three chatted withAnderson Cooperabout life with her little ones.
“They’re all such extraordinary kids and they’re great together,” she stated.
“They never fight.
They look after each other.
They’re loving.”
By all accounts, Jennifer Connelly is as proud of her three kids now as she was then.
Kai then split time between David’s home and Connelly’s.
In 2002, Connelly opened up toNew Yorkmagazine about the changes that came after she became a mom.
Her confidence was not the only thing that evolved.
They began dating in 2001, and by 2003, the two were happily married.
Bettany also became a paternal figure to Kai Dugan.
According to the “WandaVision” actor, music has played a major role in shaping their bond.
“Every year we have a band that gets together and plays rock songs,” he stated.
However, he chose a markedly different path.
Like Jennifer Connelly, Dugan went to Yale University.
While his mom initially sought a degree in English lit, he studied mechanical engineering.
“I sobbed the entire way.
And then I sobbed the entire night.
I was bereft!”
According to Depp, Heard apparently took issue with his friendship with Bettany.
That behavior is unacceptable.'"
On August 13, 2003, Connelly welcomed her second son, Stellan Bettany, into the world.
Stellan was named after his father’s friend and fellow actor, Stellan Skarsgard.
At a young age, Stellan was keen to follow in his parents' and his namesake’s footsteps.
Stellan Bettany graduated high school in 2021
In 2021, Stellan Bettany graduated from high school.
And when Stellan received his high school diploma, they couldn’t help but gush about this major milestone.
On June 7, 2021, Paul took to Instagram to celebrate this momentous occasion with three back-to-back posts.
For hisfirst post, Paul included a lengthy caption alongside a throwback photo.
“Here’s me holding Stellan at about a week old.
… Today my beautiful kid graduates high school!
Time … my head is spinning,” he wrote.
Finally, hislast postof the day featured selfie he took with Stellan after the ceremony.
“So that happened,” he wrote.
“The short version is that Stellan graduated and I cried like a baby.”
As previously noted, he shares his love of music with his stepson, Kai Dugan.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, he also shares his love of music with Stellan Bettany.
Early on, Connelly suspected this would be more than just a hobby for Stellan.
When he was just 5 years old, she told The Guardian that she believed music was his calling.
An aspiring musician, Stellan uses hisInstagrampage to showcase his art.
He’s no slouch either; he plays the piano, guitar, and drums.
That same year, Stellan released his first album, “Armor.”
Evidently, this was only exacerbated when she traveled by plane.
According to Connelly, she’d struggled with air travel after Agnes suffered an undisclosed health issue.
“As a result, I struggled with separation.
Kai Dugan, for example, did plays with his mom when he was in grade school.
Stellan Bettany, meanwhile, had a brief cameo in his father’s 2014 film “Shelter.”
For a while there, it seemed like Agnes Bettany had been bitten by the acting bug.
“She’ll sit by the monitor and watch with headphones on quite critically,” Connelly said.
“So I said, ‘Well, any notes?
Do you have any adjustments you think I should make?'”
Agnes did indeed have some notes, including one suggestion about the blocking.
Connelly took the suggestion, and evidently, Agnes’ instincts were spot on.
Rather, she wanted them to have a more “normal” childhood experience than she did.
“It wasn’t something that I had pursued.
It was my mom’s idea.”
Evidently, the “Phenomena” actor didn’t want the same for her kids.
Agnes might have her sights set on a different path anyway.
Bettany,'” Connelly said.
“So, no mention of acting so far.”
And yet, Kai Dugan, Stellan Bettany, and Agnes Bettany sure know how to keep them grounded.
Paul first joined Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2008 when he lent his voice to J.A.R.V.I.S.
in the “Iron Man” series.
Of course, his involvement in the MCU is certainly a big deal to his kids.
That being said said, his kids have never called Vision their favorite MCU character.
“My daughter has moved through all the different Avengers as her favorite.
It’s never, never me.”
He also shared that they mocked his place in the MCU via his Disney+ account.
On a 2024 episode of the same show Connelly confirmed Bettany’s story.
“Yeah, it’s true,” she said.
“His avatar, there’s a picture of him as Vision … and it says ‘worst Avenger.’
It was very funny.”
Turns out, even superheroes can be humbled.
