Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been a successful actor since he was a kid, but as an adult, he took time to slow down and start a family.
After gaining recognition through his roles in films such as 500 Days of Summer and Inception, Gordon-Levitt entered a relationship with Tasha McCauley, a technology entrepreneur and robotics expert. The couple quietly got married in December 2014 and have since maintained a low-profile, welcoming their first child in 2015 and another in 2017.
Following the birth of his first child, Gordon-Levitt expressed his preference for keeping his family away from the public eye. "My son is still a young baby," he explained during a 2015 interview with Kelly Ripa. "He hasn't had the opportunity to choose a life in the spotlight, and I want that to be a decision he makes for himself when he's older and able to consider the implications. Right now, I'm just a protective father who wants to ensure his privacy."

During an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Gordon-Levitt enthusiastically shared about his experience as a father. He expressed his gratitude for being able to take a break from acting after the arrival of his children. "I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to take some time off," he explained. "Now that I have two boys, I can confidently say that it is the absolute best. It brings me immense joy."
He proceeded to express to host Jimmy Fallon his profound admiration for his documentary Dads. "I watched it a few weeks ago and the question posed was, 'What defines a dad?' And you were searching for the perfect word to describe it, and you settled on 'a hero,'" Gordon-Levitt recounted. "When you said that, man, I almost welled up with tears, thinking about the fact that I am now someone's dad. It reminded me of how I used to look up to my own father in that very same way."
