For Michael Weatherly, being a father is his top priority. Upon leaving NCIS, the actor who portrayed special agent Tony DiNozzo hoped his departure would positively impact his children’s lives.
“The kids are very excited to have me around, mostly because I’m wrapped around their little fingers,” Michael told People in 2016. “I’m just a sucker and I’m trying very hard to be authority dad.”
“I think a lot about the kids and the time I get to spend with them now,” he noted. “They just have some extraordinary things going on in their lives.”
Michael, a delighted father of three, welcomed his oldest son, August Weatherly, with his ex-wife and co-star in The City, Amelia Heinle. He later fell in love with award-winning physician Bojana Janković. After marrying, the couple welcomed daughter Olivia in 2012 and son Liam in 2013. They will celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary this year.
Meet the Weatherly Children
August Weatherly
August Weatherly was born in January 1996. Little is known about the 28-year-old, who keeps out of the spotlight, although his mom, actress Amelia Heinle, has posted photos of him on Instagram.
In a 2017 People interview, Michael, 55, revealed that his divorce from Amelia was “tough” on August. “That was a very difficult time,” he stated about their breakup in 1997. “When I got remarried, I wanted to do my very best to ensure that rupture wouldn’t happen again.”
Explaining that he’d worked a lot after his divorce from Amelia, Michael noted: “It’s a tough thing for a kid. Especially when one of your parents is on the other side of the country.”
Olivia and Liam Weatherly
Michael and Bojana Janković married in 2009. Their children, Olivia and Liam, are now 12 and 10 years old. “I’m a single-track-mind person, so at work I do my work, but at home I’m devoted to my kids,” Michael told People. He also stated that his acting job had helped him grow personally: “Acting has provided me with a means of understanding myself. It has made me a better person.”
While Michael and Bojana are very private about their family life, they occasionally share sweet updates on social media. In 2023, Bojana wished fans a happy New Year with an adorable family photo, and recently, Michael posted a snap with his wife and daughter Olivia in February.
