Challenges and Growth in Parenthood
Ron opened up about being a parent in a March 2010 interview. He discussed the challenges he faced in the early years of parenthood and how he evolved from thereon.
Ron Howard’s Parenting Journey
Ron and his wife Cheryl Howard wed in June 1975 and became first-time parents when they welcomed their eldest child, daughter Bryce Howard, in March 1981. The duo later became parents of three when their twin daughters, Paige and Jocelyn Howard, were born in February 1985. Their youngest child and only son, Reed Howard, was born in April 1987.

During that period, he had to film the movie “Cocoon” and questioned whether he could do it. “And I suddenly realized that I could handle it. I think that was a watershed time in my life both as a parent and as a person,” said the father of four.

Looking at the video, it seems Reed and Ashley’s daughter has blonde hair, which is a very different hair color from her dad and paternal grandparents, including aunts.
The Howard Family Traditions
Reed shared another clip of the father and daughter duo sitting on the couch on Instagram in January 2021, wherein he asked the youngster what she wanted to watch on TV, and it is apparent that Aspen’s hair color is blonde compared to his striking red hair color.
In April 2017, Reed attended the premiere of National Geographic’s “Genius” after-party in Los Angeles, where he posed with his father. Four years later, his older sister Bryce posted a throwback family portrait on National Siblings Day from one of their trips to Niagra Falls when all the siblings were still younger. They all beamed with their parents for the snap while posing near the water.
