Kevin Hart’s latest heist thriller Lift may have just premiered on January 12 on Netflix – but what’s the actor like when he’s at home with his family?

Unlike some celebrities, Hart is more vocal about his children than most. From roasting them in his stand-up specials to regularly sharing photos of the whole family in matching outfits on Instagram, his journey through fatherhood has been as authentic and open as it’s possible to be.

However, it’s not all been plain sailing for the 44-year-old. Hart has been married twice, was pilloried in the press for cheating on his current wife, Eniko, in 2017, and even suffered a life-threatening car crash in 2019 when his Plymouth Barracuda veered off the road in Malibu.

Hart later admitted that discussing his cheating with his eldest daughter was one of the hardest things he’d ever had to do: “My talk with Heaven … that was one like no other. Getting my daughter to understand that I was sorry, that I made a mistake. That was real,” he told Jada Pinkett Smith on Red Table Talk in 2021.

So what do we know about the multimillionaire comedian’s children and how he’s raising them?

Kevin Hart has four children – two teenagers with his first wife Torrei, and two toddlers with his current wife Eniko. Hart and Torrei got married in 2003 when the comedian was just 22, per Us Weekly, and he later admitted to Chelsea Handler that he “messed up his first marriage” because he wasn’t ready for it.

Nevertheless, the pair had two children together and continue to be on amicable terms. Their first born, Heaven, is 18 years old and just started university, while their son Hendrix is now 16 and just graduated from high school.

Despite there being some overlap between Hart meeting Eniko Parrish and divorcing Torrei, he and Eniko waited nearly seven years before marrying in 2016, per People. In 2017, Eniko gave birth to a son, Kenzo, six, followed by daughter Kaori in 2020, who is now three.

Hart’s children – particularly his elder two – have provided endless material for the comedian over the years, with him joking that his son is “dumb” just like he was when he was young, and that his daughter was an “a**hole” when she used to demand juice from him as a baby.

However, he says they know not to take it too seriously. “They’re at that age where they embrace it,” he told USA Today. “They understand what their dad does for a living.”

In the past, Hart has talked about preparing his children for the world by showing them some tough love: “I tease my kids,” he says in one routine. “I’m big on that. Like, my kids have big heads, I tell them every day like, ‘Dude, your heads are huge.’ That’s part of my parenting. I’m preparing my kids for what other people are gonna say. You’re not gonna hit my kids with something and get a reaction; they’ve heard it all from me.”

On the set of Hart’s film Fatherhood, he reportedly made Heaven and Hendrix find out everyone’s name and what their job was, according to an interview with the film’s director on the Today show. He’s also spoke about how he and Eniko have made their home a “free-speaking zone” so that their kids can speak their minds without judgment.

Hart has repeatedly opened up about how his daughter Heaven is just like him. “She’s me, she’s exactly who I am,” he once told Ellen DeGeneres. He’s also admitted that Heaven wants to follow in his footsteps. “My daughter wants to be an entertainer so bad, I’m just holding her back til she’s 18,” he told to People magazine in 2020.

 

Meanwhile, Hendrix is often seen exercising with his famous dad, with the pair going to the gym, boating and biking together, per PopSugar. The comedian also posted a sweet shout-out to his 16-year-old when he left high school earlier this year, calling him “the flyest/coolest kid that I know”.

The family of six are regularly seen coordinating outfits in their Instagram posts – from the clothes they wore for Heaven’s graduation, to red carpets and snaps taken around the house.

The reason? In one stand-up special, Hart recalls feeling that he and his kids looked ridiculous on a family outing once, and yelled at his wife: “Why would you dress us in different colours? We look like clowns! From now on, solid colours when we go out. We look like a team!”

 

How adorable is that?

He still likes to spoil his kids though

With a net worth of US$450 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, it’s no surprise that Hart likes to spoil his kids. Aside from the many holidays the family goes on – both Kevin and Eniko’s Instagram pages show them enjoying everything from African safaris to city breaks in Budapest – they also occasionally fly by private jet too.

Perhaps the most famous gift Hart got for one of his children was when his eldest daughter turned 16. Heaven was presented with an US$85,000 Mercedes-Benz SUV covered in red bows, per ET online.
