At the current time, Jonathan Majors has one child, a daughter named Ella. “I have a seven-year-old who’s mixed race,” Majors shared with People back in 2020. While discussing his desire for her to receive a well-rounded education, Majors said, “She has to understand that it’s actually not ‘Black history’— it’s American history. The way it’s taught now, it’s honestly the Jim Crow system of separate but equal.” The actor added, “We’ll give it one month, 12 pages in the history book … we’ll talk about Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, MLK, then we’ll give you a little quiz about it.”
And while Majors’ acting career preceded Ella’s birth by a couple of years, she’s motivated him to become selective in his roles. “I just want to make her proud and do things that she could look at and go, ‘Yeah, that’s the way that goes — I understand why he did that,'” shared the actor with Insider. “Or at some point, she will watch [my] films and then she’ll see Regina King and she’ll see Zazie Beetz.”
When Majors isn’t starring in blockbusters or imparting wisdom to his daughter, he’s spending quality time with her. “We like to shop together, [and] read books,” Majors revealed to Mr. Porter. “Roald Dahl, ‘A Series Of Unfortunate Events.’ I have her memorize poetry – Mary Oliver. She has a whole section about dogs. And my girl has her own dog, a cockapoo.”
