Jessica Chastain's children join the usually private actress at her Hollywood Walk of Fame dedication event.
Actress Jessica Chastain, known for her versatility on screen and off, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday. The ceremony was a family affair, with her children, Giulietta (7) and Augustus (5), in attendance.
Chastain, who turned 48 this year, wore a stunning navy gown by Jonathan Cohen and Diamani diamond earrings for the occasion. Her children, however, chose to stay out of the spotlight and did not pose for photos at the event.
In her speech, Chastain expressed her deep love for her children, referring to them as her "everything." She also took the opportunity to share a conversation she had with her daughter about her future aspirations. Chastain told her daughter that she can be "more than one thing" when she grows up, a sentiment that resonated with her daughter who expressed a desire to be a ballerina and a mama.
Chastain's husband, Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, was also present at the ceremony. The couple, who started dating in 2012 and got married in 2017, welcomed their daughter via surrogate in 2018. Their son was born two years later.
Viola Davis and Al Pacino presented Chastain with her Hollywood Walk of Fame star. In her speech, Chastain thanked her family, including her children, for their unwavering support and love.
In a 2022 interview with Marie Claire, Chastain opened up about keeping her children out of the public eye. She revealed that her daughter was pleasantly surprised by the notion that she doesn't need to go down just one path, highlighting the importance of diversity and multi-dimensionality in life.
Chastain's roles in Hollywood extend beyond the screen. She is also a producer and a business owner, and according to her, a mama. She listed these roles, among others, to her daughter as examples of the various paths one can take in life.
As Chastain continues to make her mark in Hollywood, she remains committed to empowering others, particularly her children, to pursue their dreams and embrace their diversity.
