Vince Vaughn honored with star Walk of Fame, shares special moment with wife and kids

On August 12, Vince Vaughn was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, marking a significant milestone in his career. The 54-year-old Wedding Crashers star was surrounded by his family—his wife Kyla Weber and their two children, Locklyn, 13, and Vernon, 11—as he celebrated this prestigious recognition.

In a heartwarming moment, Vince Vaughn and his family posed for photos on the iconic Hollywood walkway. The family smiled together, with Vernon proudly holding up his dad’s plaque featuring the new star. It was a rare public appearance for Vaughn's children, who usually stay out of the spotlight.

During his acceptance speech, Vaughn took a moment to express his gratitude for his family. "My beautiful wife Kyla, I’m so glad that you’re with me on this now, I’m so grateful for you and these beautiful kids and for all the laughter that we share together," he said. He added a touching note to his children, stating, "As much as all this means, Vernon and Locklyn, you guys really do need to know that you guys are the most important thing in the world to me."

With a touch of humor, Vaughn joked about the contrast between his family and his new star, saying, "You’re not as lucrative, and you don’t give me access to the kind of stuff that this kind of thing does but with that all being said, you guys are the most important and I love you very much. It’s great to have you guys with me."

In a recent interview with The New York Times Magazine, Vince Vaughn opened up about the joys of fatherhood. He shared that being a parent has brought him immense joy and has made him "more empathetic, more patient" and equipped him with "more tools at encouraging." This sentiment was echoed in a 2013 interview with E! News, where he spoke about the fun and laughter his kids bring into his life.

Vince Vaughn's dedication to his family is also evident in other public appearances. In 2015, he celebrated another milestone with a hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre, again with his wife and children by his side. The family has also been seen enjoying outings to Disneyland and NBA games, showing their close bond and the importance Vince places on family life.
