Vaughn and Weber welcomed their daughter, Locklyn Kyla Vaughn, on Dec. 18, 2010.
Their firstborn’s name is based on Weber’s mother’s heritage. “My wife’s mum is from Scotland, so that’s where Locklyn comes from,” Vaughn toldMetroin 2014.
When she was younger, Locklyn was friendly withOwen Wilson’s son,Ford. The pair, who are only about a month apart in age, visited their dads when they were filmingThe Internshipin 2012 and were spotted spending time together on set.
As a child, Locklyn was a huge fan of Disney’sFrozenmovie, specifically the character of Elsa. In a 2015 interview onThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, Vaughn said she was obsessed with acting like the animated princess.
“[Elsa] is the one that my daughter really seems to idolize, she doesn’t get too close to anyone, because she’ll hurt them, she’ll freeze them and she’ll cause them pain, so she has to shut herself out,” he said, perThe Hollywood Reporter.
Vaughn added that he always played along with her, joking, “I wonder what a child psychologist would say about this.”
Like her dad, Locklyn is into comedy: In a 2020 interview onLive with Kelly and Ryan, theWedding Crashersstar said his daughter enjoyed comedy movies and liked to joke around. He revealed that the only film of his that both of the kids had seen wasDodgeball,and they were fans.
Locklyn is also interested in sports. OnThe Ellen DeGeneres Showin 2020, Vaughn shared that his elder child played soccer on a competitive team. Three years later, the pair were photographed sharing a sweet father-daughter moment at an NBA game.

Vaughn and Weber welcomed their son, Vernon Lindsay Vaughn, on Aug. 7, 2013 — he is named after his paternal grandfather.
Vernon has taken an interest in something a lot of children don’t like: horror movies. In a 2020 interview onThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Vaughn said that his son “has a real appetite for the dangerous stuff.”
He added, “He’s 7 years old, and I watched the originalDirty Harrywith him. I don’t know how this plays out, but I did it.”
The Break-Upactor joked about Vernon’s love of horror movies again during a 2020 appearance onThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, saying, “It’s unclear what happened, but he does like things that scare him. I try to stop it, but I’m letting him watch some stuff.”
During the same appearance, Vaughn also revealed that Vernon was good at sharing. “My son is very sweet, he’s very funny,” the producer said. “He likes to share, which is a thing that you would find to be a good quality in a child.”
The Teen Choice Award winner explained that even when Vernon got new toys, he would hand them out to others. “When friends come over, it’s like they’re guests at the Oscars,” Vaughn joked. “They leave with a bag of things, like new toys that were supposed to be his stuff, and he’s like, ‘no, that’s okay.’ ”
“There was traveling involved,” he said. “For some reason, you have to travel 35 minutes to play other 9-year-olds. It’s a confusing process.”
“I don’t understand it, but I am on the train, and it’s not stopping,” he continued. “It’s all complicated. But I am glad we’re playing. I am grateful the kids are back in sports — so no complaints.”
