‘I Can’t Believe He’s That Tall’: Kevin Hart Fans Shocked By How Much Son Hendrix Has Grown

Fans are in awe of new family photos of Kevin Hart, his four kids, and his wife Eniko Hart. On Sunday, Dec. 25, the comedian dazzled social media users with Christmas footage featuring himself, Eniko, daughters Heaven, 17, Kaori, 2, and sons, Hendrix, 15, and Kenzo, 5. Everyone dressed in matching blue and red plaid pajamas, including Kevin and Eniko, who also wore matching robes.

“Merry Christmas from the Harts #Harts,” the actor wrote on Instagram, attached with a sweet video of Kenzo and Kaori dancing over the joyous holiday.

As fans viewed Kevin’s upload, many in the comments highlighted his uncanny resemblance to his children. However, a handful focused on Hendrix, who sat in the chair in the photos while his 43-year-old dad and everyone else stood.

“Now that’s one stylish family!!! Merry Christmas.”

“Why’s everyone sitting but you kev?”

“Nah u ain’t slick bru! I know u made your son sit down so we can’t see he taller than u huh?”

“Kev, who that grown man in the chair?!? I can’t believe he’s that tall how.”

“Kevin’s kids are taller than him.”

Meanwhile, others left remarks about Hendrix doing the “light skin” stare, which is a term referring to the blank stare on a light-skinned Black male’s face. One person said, “How nobody talking about how Kev’s son hit that (face with eyebrow raised emoji) look.” 

Another wrote, “His son got the light skin face.” A third social media user said, “How much y’all wanan bet he ain’t see his son’s face.”

Kevin shares Heaven and Hendrix with his ex-wife, Torrei Hart. The former couple married in 2003, and finalized their divorce in 2011, following Kevin’s infidelity scandal. They’ve since built a healthy friendship and co-parenting relationship with the entertainer’s current wife, Eniko Hart.

After seven years of dating, Kevin and Eniko wed in August 2016. They welcomed their first child, Kenzo, in 2017, and their baby girl, Kaori, in September 2020.

“I’m a good f—ing dad. I ain’t the best dad, but I’m a good dad for real,” said Kevin on “The Pivot Podcast” last June. “I’m there. We talk. My kids know what I do. When I leave the young ones, ‘Daddy has to go to work.’ They know why dad’s working. They know what I’m working towards. They know the importance of work.”

The “Fatherhood” star continued, “As a father, especially as a Black father, the conversations, the conversation isn’t consistent enough about the good ones. People love to hear about the bad ones, people love to hear about a motherf—r that don’t take care of his kids, but they don’t like to hear about the ones that do.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
