Meet late daughter Victoria and son Austin

Tommy Lee Jones is a leading man onscreen — and a family man off of it.

The actor welcomed two children while married to photographer Kimberlea Cloughley from 1981 to 1996.

The “Men in Black” star raised son Austin and daughter Victoria, who died in January 2026, on a Texas cattle ranch.

The duo have remained primarily out of the spotlight over the years.

The Golden Globe winner, whose first marriage was to Kate Lardner, has not expanded his family further since walking down the aisle Dawn Laurel in 2001.

Get to know his son and late daughter below.

Austin Leonard Jones

Tommy Lee became a dad in November 1982 when Austin Leonard Jones was born.

The Oscar winner’s eldest child has followed his father into the entertainment industry, with the duo working together on “The Homesman” in 2014.

As the film’s musical supervisor, Austin “found some important and rare songs,” Tommy Lee gushed to Movies.ie at the time.

Austin has released music of his own over the years, including 2022’s “Dead Calm” album and “At the Polo Club” the following year.

Victoria Kafka Jones

Victoria Kafka Jones joined the family in September 1991.

She also worked with her dad on set, making her debut in “Men in Black II” in 2002, followed by “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada,” which Tommy Lee directed, four years later.

Tommy Lee called his youngest child a “good actress” in a 2006 New Yorker interview — and joked that he “fired her” one morning when she “wouldn’t get out of bed” to film.

Despite Victoria’s eventual step back from acting, she continued accompanying her dad to red carpets, most recently attending the “Just Getting Started” premiere in 2017.

She developed a rap sheet while out of the public eye, getting arrested in 2011 for theft in the amount of $50 to $500 — a charge that was later dismissed.

In 2025, Victoria was arrested at least twice in Napa County, Calif., for obstructing a peace officer, using/being under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of a narcotic controlled substance, as well as domestic battery and domestic violence/elder abuse.

She pleaded not guilty to all charges.

On New Year’s Day in 2026, the 34-year-old was found dead in the Fairmont San Francisco hotel, and her cause of death is unknown.
