Michael Rapaport’s kids comprise two sons, Maceo Shane Rapaport and Julian Ali Rapaport, both of whom were born during his first marriage to Nichole Beattie, the talented screenwriter.
Rapaport’s marriage to actress Kebe Dunn has not produced any children, which is why the focus is on his sons from his first marriage. The comedian’s children don’t spend as much time in the spotlight as either of their parents, but their low-key lifestyle has done very little to quell the speculations about what they might be up to. With that in mind, let’s introduce Michael Rapaport’s children, Maceo Shane and Julian Ali Rapaport.
Meet Julian Ali Rapaport, Michael Rapaport’s First Child
- Full Name: Julian Ali Rapaport
- Date of Birth: 2000
- Age: 24 Years Old
- Occupation: Not Yet Defined
Julian Rapaport is the first oldest of Michael Rapaport’s kids. He was born in 2000, the same year his parents got married. Julian’s ethnic identity has a mix of Jewish from his father’s side, but his place of birth in Los Angeles, California, confirms his status as an American citizen. So far, we have been able to ascertain the celebrity kid’s exact date of birth.
Julian was only seven years old when his parents divorced, and his mother briefly took custody of him and his brother. Julian Ali Rapaport has lived most of his life away from media and public scrutiny, and this has invariably cast a shadow on the details of his upbringing. Now a 24 year-old adult, Julian’s identity is still very much linked to his celebrity parents.
Details of his personal life also fall under the category of things about Julian Ali Rapaport that the media and public have yet to decipher. He does not appear to be in a relationship, and his age as of 2022 suggests that he might have just completed his studies at one of the reputable Universities in the United States. Given that he has yet to decide on a clear career path, it won’t be much of a surprise if he decides to follow in his parent’s footsteps in the entertainment industry.
Julian Rapaport reportedly now lives with his father, his younger brother, and his stepmother, actress Kebe Dunn. Father and son appear to have a very good relationship even though they have never publicized it. It is expected that Julian is also quite close to his younger brother Maceo who is just 2 years his junior.
Maceo Shane Rapaport is Michael Rapaport’s Second Son
- Full Name: Maceo Shane Rapaport
- Date of Birth: April 23, 2002
- Age: 21 Years Old
- Occupation: Not Yet Defined
Maceo Shane Rapaport was born on April 23, 2002, in Los Angeles, California, and is the younger of Michael Rapaport’s kids. His birth sign is Taurus and has a trace of Jewish ethnic identity.
Maceo is Michael Rapaport’s youngest son with his ex-wife, Nichole Beattie. Like his older brother, he spent his formative years in Los Angeles, California, and it would seem that he has yet to depart the city of angels as an adult.
Maceo’s birth family, which includes his birth parents and his older brother, Julian, were together as a family until he was 5 years old. He was only 2 when his mother filed for a divorce, and in 2007, the divorce proceedings were finalized, and his parents went their separate ways. His father has since remarried, and Maceo shares a home with his father’s wife, his brother, and their father.
Details of his formal education background have yet to become available to the public because of Maceo’s upbringing and decision to stay away from the public. At the moment, Maceo Shane Rapaport does not appear to be on a specific career path, but we can’t yet rule out the possibility that he might tread the path of his parents in the entertainment industry.
Everything about Maceo Shane Rapaport at the moment indicates that he is currently single, although he may be in a relationship which, like most other aspects of his life, he has chosen to keep the finer details from the public. Maceo Shane Rapaport has a good relationship with his dad, although we rarely get to examine the dynamics of their relationship away from the spotlight.
Michael Rapaport’s Kids Had a Rather Disciplined Childhood
While playing the role of the father of three teenage children in the series The War at Home, Michael Rapaport spanked one of his children as a way of discipline, and that marked one of the highlights of his role in the show because the idea of spanking his children to enforce discipline drew mixed reactions from the public and prompted Dr. Phil to invite the actor the fourth season of his show.
At the time, Julian and his brother Maceo were still very young and very much under the care of their father. At a point in the show, Dr. Phil drew Michael’s attention to the scene where he disciplined one of his children in The War at Home series and asked him if he employed the same tactic in raising his real-life children.
Michael answered in the negative, but his next statement left no one in doubt that the actor employs a special tactic in disciplining his boys. He began by saying that the parents in every home must assert their positions as the bosses in the house and that children must clearly understand the different boundaries that had been set in the home.
He then proceeded to say that while he does not spank his boys, he uses a very harsh method of discipline to ensure that they are well disciplined. The harsh method of discipline was left open to the audience’s interpretation because the actor was never specific about what he meant.
Dr. Phil chipped in to say that the most effective mode of discipline for errant kids was to place them in a place where they would have no room to entertain themselves. Whatever model of discipline Michael Rapaport employed in raising his children, conventional or not, seems to have worked because those boys seem very well behaved and orderly to the point where there has been no scandal associated with them.
Michael Rapaport was Married to the Mother of His Children For 7 Years
Michael Rapaport was married to the mother of his children for just 7 years. The timeline of their initial meeting and period of courtship has not been specified, but Michael Rapaport and his ex-wife Nichole Beattie tied the knot on January 15, 2000.
The marriage showed signs of trouble when Beattie filed for a divorce in 2004, citing irreconcilable differences. The marriage was subsequently dissolved in 2007, and Michael went on to marry his current wife in 2016, 9 years after his divorce from Nichole. The mother of Michael Rapaport’s kids, on the other hand, has remained single since then.
