    More about Johnny Knoxville's kids

    Johnny Knoxville welcomed daughter Madison with his then-wife Melanie Lynn Clapp on January 4, 1996. The couple were married from 1995 to 2009. Graduating from Oberlin College in 2018 with a Bachelor's degree in Comparative Literature, Madison is an Associate Producer, Production Supervisor, and Writer, according to her LinkedIn profile.

    Recalling Madison's birth in a 2024 interview with People Magazine, he said:

    "The baby was born and she was put into my arms. Just looking at her, all of my fear went away. It just went away. I was like, 'I think we got this,' And it was a wonderful feeling."

    He later welcomed his son, Rocko, with his second wife, Naomi Nelson, in 2009, followed by his second daughter, Arlo, two years later. The couple finalized their divorce in 2024.

    Speaking about fatherhood in the same interview with the outlet, the Jackass co-creator added:

    "I don't know if there's a greater thing. It's a responsibility and it's hard, but it's great. I love being a parent."

    In a 2022 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Johnny told host Jay Leno that his son inherited his "Jackass gene."

    "Luckily my daughters, that gene didn't get passed down to them. You know, girls are just smarter than boys and I don't have to worry about them. But my son is just like my father. So he's got this funny look in his eye so yeah, I have to worry about Rocko," said Johnny.

    Although Johnny tried to keep his career a secret from his children, Rocko learned about it at the age of six from his school friends.

    "I said: 'Yeah, Dad has a silly show where he does pranks and stunts, but it’s not really appropriate for you to see.' Especially for him, because he’s wired like my father. He has that rambunctious spirit and I’m afraid that he would want to do it. And that’s just not going to be on the cards," Knoxville told The Guardian in 2022.
