Born Hudson Riley Hawk on December 6, 1992, he is currently 32 years old and has carved out a respectable career with a distinct, retro-inspired style.
Riley Hawk: A Pro Skater and New Father
Riley's dedication to the sport earned him the title of 'Best Am' (Amateur) in 2013, and he has since been a fixture in the pro circuit. His most recent high-profile moment came not from a competition, but from his personal life: the birth of his first child.
In a major update for the Hawk family in late 2024, Riley and his wife, Frances Bean Cobain—daughter of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain—welcomed their son, Ronin Walker Cobain Hawk.
Tony Hawk has openly discussed the joys of being a grandfather, joking that he has been given only one rule: "Don't get the baby on a skateboard until he's ready." The generational link between the legendary skater and his grandson, Ronin, is a key focus for fans of the Hawk dynasty.
Adding to his father's video game legacy, Riley has also been included as a playable character in the modern remake of the franchise, *Tony Hawk: Pro Skater 3 & 4*, blending the generations of the iconic skateboarding game.
Spencer and Keegan Hawk: The Artistic and Athletic Middle Boys
While Riley embraced the family business of vert skating, Tony Hawk's two middle sons, Spencer and Keegan, have demonstrated the family's diverse talents, with one pursuing a career in music and the other maintaining a quieter, yet formidable, presence in skateboarding.
Spencer Hawk (gupi): The Hyperpop Producer
Spencer Anthony Hawk, born March 26, 1999 (age 26), is perhaps the most surprising of the Hawk children. Instead of pursuing ollies and kickflips, Spencer has found success in the world of electronic music, where he is known by his stage name, gupi.
A Berklee College of Music alumnus, gupi is a prominent figure in the hyperpop genre—a style characterized by its maximalist, high-energy sound. His music is often described as absurdist, featuring fast-paced beats, bright synths, and a distinctive, playful style. Spencer's choice of career highlights the varied talents within the Hawk household, proving that the "Birdman" lineage extends far beyond the skate park.
Keegan Hawk: The Quiet Skateboard Prodigy
Keegan Hawk, born July 18, 2001 (age 24), is the third son and has often been referred to as a "skateboard prodigy" in his own right. While he maintains a lower public profile than his older brothers, Keegan has shown incredible talent on the board, following closely in the footsteps of both his father and his older brother, Riley.
His early feats, such as dropping into Woodward’s Mega-ramp at a young age, showcased the raw talent that runs in the family. Keegan’s focus appears to be on his own progression within the skating community, contributing to the family's enduring legacy in action sports without the added pressure of a mainstream spotlight.
Kadence Hawk: Tony's Only Daughter and Her Skateboarding Journey
Kadence Clover Hawk, Tony's only daughter, is his youngest child and a source of recent, heartwarming social media content. Born in 2008, Kadence is currently 16 years old. She is the daughter of Tony Hawk and his third wife, Lhotse Merriam.
In recent years, Tony Hawk has frequently shared moments of teaching Kadence to skateboard, offering a relatable look at the challenges and triumphs of a father-daughter relationship. These clips often show Kadence overcoming her fear of falling while her famous father cheers her on with genuine pride.
Kadence’s journey is a powerful example of overcoming fear and the patience required in learning a difficult skill. Tony has often expressed his nervousness when watching her attempt new tricks, a stark contrast to his own fearless demeanor on the vert ramp. This dynamic highlights Tony Hawk's role as a supportive dad, prioritizing her confidence and growth over her technical skill.
The Enduring Hawk Family Legacy
The Hawk family represents a fascinating blend of generational talent, with each child finding their own niche. The constant updates—from Riley's professional career and new baby to Spencer's hyperpop artistry and Kadence's skateboarding progress—keep the "Hawk family" in the public eye. Tony Hawk, now an empty nester, continues to express pride in his children’s diverse accomplishments, whether they are landing a 900, producing a hit track, or simply conquering a small ramp.
The Birdman legacy is no longer just about the 900, the video games, or the skate company; it's about a multi-talented family that continues to evolve, proving that true success is found in supporting one another's passions, no matter how different they may be.
