Colin Farrell brings son to the 2025 Emmys: What to know about his kids
Colin Farrell turned the 2025 Emmys into a family night out.
"The Penguin" star arrived on the red carpet at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14, with his son, Henry Farrell, whom he shares with actress and singer Alicja Bachleda.
The father-son duo matched in tailored blazers, with Henry standing tall beside his dad.
In addition to Henry, Farrell is also dad to another son, James Farrell.
After winning big at the 2025 Golden Globes earlier this year, Farrell turned the attention to his sons, sharing how proud he is of them both.
“I don't know if I feel pride to be honest with you, which is not to say I'm not a prideful person. I do feel pride in my life,” Farrell said backstage at the Golden Globes, according to People. “I feel very proud of my kids and who they are as men and watching them navigate the world."
The actor also brought Henry to the premiere of "The Penguin" in September 2024, where they posed together on the red carpet in New York City.
In a 2017 interview with the Irish Examiner, Colin Farrell gushed about fatherhood, saying his sons "have been lighting up my life."

James Farrell
Colin Farrell's oldest son is James Farrell, whom he welcomed Sept. 12, 2003, with then-partner model Kim Bordenave.
The actor opened up about James, who is nonverbal and has a rare neurogenetic disorder called Angelman syndrome, in an August 2024 interview with People.
"I want the world to be kind to James. … I want the world to treat him with kindness and respect," he said at the time, describing his motivation to speak out.
Colin Farrell launched the not-for-profit organization The Colin Farrell Foundation that same month to advocate for people with intellectual disabilities like his son James Farrell and others with Angelman syndrome, which is marked by intellectual disability among other characteristics, according to MedlinePlus, an online information service produced by the National Library of Medicine, part of the National Institutes of Health.
Angelman syndrome impacts the nervous system and can cause delayed development, intellectual disability, severe speech impairment, seizures, and other movement and balance problems, according to MedlinePlus.
The NIH estimates that 1 in 12,000 to 20,000 individuals have Angelman syndrome, and the life expectancy of people with Angelman syndrome "appears to be nearly normal."
Henry Farrell
Henry was born Oct. 7, 2009, and is the second of Colin Farrell's sons.
His mother is actress and singer Alicja Bachleda.
The father-son duo have appeared together on the red carpet multiple times, including at the 95th Academy Awards in 2023, where Colin Farrell was nominated for best supporting actor for his role in "The Banshees of Inisherin."
After the two appeared at the New York City premiere of "The Penguin" in 2024, Henry's mother shared a photo of them on the red carpet, writing in an Instagram post, "He's becoming a pro at this! All grown up🤗."
