John Lennon is set to become a grandfather: Sean and partner Charlotte Kemp Muhl welcome a son

02-09-2026

Sean Ono Lennon and his partner Charlotte Kemp Muhl have become parents to a baby boy, Aurelius: making him the first grandchild of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The couple announced the birth on social media, sharing several photographs with the newborn. "We made a human being! His name is Aurelius! Thank you!", Sean Lennon wrote on Instagram, later posting further pictures with his partner and son.

Sean, 50, has always kept a fairly private personal life, though in recent years he has taken on an increasingly central role in safeguarding his parents' artistic legacy. In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning last December, he explained that he considers himself, at least formally, the custodian of the legacy of John Lennon, Yoko Ono and the Beatles, with the aim of introducing that story to younger generations as well.
Born in October 1975, Sean is the son of Lennon and Ono. It was for him that his father wrote "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)", included on "Double Fantasy", the album released in 1980 just weeks before the former Beatle's assassination. Even back then, the song spoke, with tender and melancholy warmth, of the bond between Lennon and his son and his wish to watch him grow up.
