The relationship between Ewan McGregor and his four daughters has been a subject of intense public and media scrutiny for years, a narrative that has recently shifted from high-profile family drama to professional collaboration and public reconciliation. As of late 2024 and early 2025, the family has been making headlines not for feuds, but for celebrating each other's achievements, including red-carpet appearances and starring roles in new films. This article provides the most current, in-depth look at the lives and careers of the McGregor daughters and how they are defining their own paths in Hollywood, often right alongside their famous father.
The latest updates show a family united, with Ewan McGregor’s children showing up to support him at major events like his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in September 2024, and Ewan proudly praising his daughters' work at the 2025 Golden Globes. The most significant development remains the professional partnership between Ewan and his eldest, Clara McGregor, who co-starred and produced the critically noted 2024 road-trip drama, Bleeding Love. Their story is a powerful testament to finding forgiveness and turning personal conflict into art.
Ewan McGregor’s Four Daughters: A Complete Biographical Profile
Ewan McGregor shares four daughters—Clara, Esther, Jamyan, and Anouk—with his ex-wife, production designer Eve Mavrakis. He also has a young son, Laurie, with his current wife, actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The four eldest daughters are all carving out unique careers, with several following their parents into the film industry. The collective career paths of the McGregor children demonstrate a diverse range of artistic talent, from modeling and music to acting and producing.
- Clara Mathilde McGregor (Born 1996): The eldest, Clara McGregor, is an actress, model, and producer. She graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and has modeled for major brands. Her career took a significant turn when she starred in and produced the 2024 film Bleeding Love, alongside her father. Clara has been the most outspoken about the family's public issues, later expressing regret for her past social media comments regarding her father's new relationship.
- Esther Rose McGregor (Born 2001): A multifaceted artist, Esther McGregor is an actress, model, musician, and tattoo artist. She has worked as a model for high-fashion houses like Miu Miu and Stella McCartney. Esther is actively pursuing acting, with Ewan McGregor publicly praising her performance in the film Babygirl at the 2025 Golden Globes. She is also set to appear in the limited series adaptation of E. Lockhart's novel, We Were Liars.
- Jamyan McGregor (Born 2001): Jamyan McGregor was adopted from Mongolia by Ewan and Eve in 2006. She maintains a lower public profile than her sisters but has recently begun making more public appearances, including a rare joint outing with her father at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, where the pair coordinated their looks. Jamyan, who is the same age as Esther, was present at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony for her father.
- Anouk McGregor (Born c. 2011-2013): The youngest daughter from Ewan's first marriage, Anouk McGregor's life is kept mostly private. She was a minor when her parents' divorce was finalized, with Ewan and Eve sharing joint legal and physical custody. Anouk was also present to support her father at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2024, showing a united family front.
The Road to Reconciliation: From Public Feud to ‘Bleeding Love’
The most compelling chapter in the Ewan McGregor family story is the journey from a highly publicized family rift to a powerful professional collaboration. When Ewan McGregor and his ex-wife Eve Mavrakis divorced, the ensuing media attention was intense, particularly after Ewan began a relationship with his Fargo co-star, Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
Clara McGregor, then in her early 20s, was vocal about her father's new relationship, famously referring to Winstead as "trash" in a now-deleted social media comment. She later expressed regret for the comment, acknowledging that it was an immature reaction to a painful family situation.
It was out of this complex dynamic that the film Bleeding Love emerged. The road-trip drama, which premiered at SXSW 2023 and saw a 2024 release, stars Ewan McGregor as a father struggling with addiction who tries to reconnect with his estranged adult daughter, played by Clara.
The film was Clara’s debut project as a producer, and she admitted that the script, originally written by another writer, resonated deeply because it mirrored aspects of her real-life relationship with her father. The process of making the film became a form of therapy and reconciliation, allowing the father-daughter duo to adapt their own experiences into a story about forgiveness and acceptance.
The Latest 2025 Updates: A New Era of Public Support and Collaboration
The family’s public narrative in 2024 and 2025 is dominated by mutual support, demonstrating that the past conflicts have been largely resolved. This new era of unity is marked by several high-profile events:
1. Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony (September 2024)
Ewan McGregor received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the event was a clear display of family solidarity. Four of his children—Clara, Jamyan, Anouk, and his son Laurie—were all present, alongside his wife, Mary Elizabeth Winstead.
2. 2025 Critics Choice Awards Outing
In a rare public appearance, Ewan McGregor attended the 2025 Critics Choice Awards with his daughter Jamyan McGregor (23). The father-daughter duo coordinated their looks for the event, where Ewan was on hand to present an award.
3. Ewan Praises Esther at the 2025 Golden Globes
While attending the 2025 Golden Globes, Ewan McGregor took time to publicly praise his daughter Esther McGregor for her performance in the upcoming film Babygirl. This public endorsement highlights Ewan's pride in his daughters' burgeoning careers and their shared connection to the film world.
4. Clara McGregor’s Producing Debut
Clara's role as both co-star and producer on Bleeding Love signifies a major step in her career, moving beyond the "nepo baby" label often assigned to children of famous actors. The film's autobiographical elements and the complexity of the father-daughter relationship on-screen provided a raw, powerful platform for both her acting and production skills.
5. Esther McGregor’s Multi-Talented Career Path
Esther continues to build a strong, independent career across multiple creative fields. Her work as a model for luxury brands, a musician, and her recent focus on acting in projects like Babygirl and We Were Liars, shows she is consciously carving out a unique identity separate from the shadow of her famous father.
The story of Ewan McGregor and his daughters is a modern Hollywood fairy tale, not of perfect harmony, but of hard-won understanding. The family has navigated the treacherous waters of celebrity divorce, public scrutiny, and the challenges of working together, emerging stronger and more creatively aligned than ever before. Their current trajectory, marked by professional collaboration and mutual support, suggests a bright and united future in the spotlight.
