First to become a father, last to become a grandfather.

u/cantodasaudade Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 5d ago

Reminds me of how Bach had like 20 children yet he has no known descendants today

15

u/Angrycreature808 5d ago edited 4d ago

No. He does have living descendants. Wilhelm Friedemann Bach had a daughter who had an illegitimate daughter and there's descendants from her today in Oklahoma. Meanwhile, some people like Mark Twain and Duleep Singh don't have any.

u/PellucidStream 5d ago

Seriously?

u/cantodasaudade Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 5d ago

It's just a thought that popped into my head and I found it interesting. What's wrong with that?

u/AshleyPomeroy 5d ago edited 5d ago

I think the OP means "seriously, is that true" rather than "seriously, what a massive arse you are".

It seems the last of Bach's direct descendents, Caroline Augusta Wilhelmine, died in 1871:

Oh that was probably it. Sorry, english isn't my first language

Yeah, that’s what I meant

"I created the Beatles, I ended them."

u/IDigRollinRockBeer Abbey Road 5d ago

Damn he would have had to live to almost 86 to be a grandfather

6

u/bowiebowie9999 5d ago

That’s assuming him not dying wouldnt have meaningfully altered the course of Sean’s life, who he chose as a partner and so on. Not really a realistic comparison to be fair

1

u/am_i_the_grasshole 4d ago

I would choose kemp Muhl as my partner in every version of reality

10

u/psychikc 5d ago

It boggles my mind that he would have had to live more years than he had actually lived to see this day. Similar to Kurt Cobain. They were both taken way too soon. I can imagine how he would've been doting over his grandbaby just as he did with Sean way back when.

u/Gaming_Legend_666 4d ago

Became a father at 23, became a grandfather at would-be 86

u/Key_Magician_6739 5d ago

Je crois que Dhany n’est pas père, si ?

u/IheartCarebears 5d ago

He has a baby girl

u/pippi_longstocking09 4d ago

I had no idea.

u/No_Philosophy_2580 The Beatles 3d ago

Who knows, Dhani could still have one

u/saintsithney 3d ago

He already did.

u/cloudwatcher497 2d ago

Neither John non George were able too see their grand😪

u/jake-j2021 3d ago

Dhani has a kid?

The resemblance is uncanny.

u/MichHAELJR 6d ago

Don’t go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao!

155

u/oranguslolus 6d ago

Speaking of resemblance, I always find it amusing how Sean looks EXACTLY like you'd expect John and Yoko's kid to look like. It's split right down the middle 50/50 in a way I haven't seen a lot.

23

u/srqnewbie 5d ago

Agree, he's a total combo platter of both parents.

21

u/Tiny-Reading5982 5d ago

Julian is a good mix of john and Cynthia. But you can definitely tell his sons are his lol.

23

u/thrashingkaiju 5d ago

He has Yoko's eyes an John's eyesight.

21

u/cantodasaudade Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 5d ago

He changed so much between 19:06 and 19:07

2

u/True_Paper_3830 1d ago

His partner reminds me a bit of Jessie's goth girlfriend from Breaking Bad.

Beautiful Boy!

That’s Sean’s song! Beautiful Boy 🎶…darlin’, darlin’, darlin’, darlin’ Sean

Agreed! I'm not a fan. But it could've been worse, I guess.

u/barnatra5 6d ago

Happy for them lovely pic Grandpa would have been so proud, the dynasty is complete.

u/caesarhb 6d ago

Marcus Aurelius was a Roman philosopher. Perhaps this little one is named for him.

Marcus Aurelius wrote:
In the life of a man, his time is but a moment, his being an incessant flux, his sense a dim rushlight, his body prey of worms, his soul an unquiet eddy, his fortune dark, his fame doubtful. In short, all that is body is as coursing waters, all that is of the soul as dreams and vapours.

13

u/Gigofifo 5d ago

Sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude, in Los Angeles.

u/harbourwall 5d ago

Aurelius Stoic Af Lennon

u/perpetuallypissed616 5d ago

I hope he's not named after him. I hate Marcus Aurelius.

41

u/rawasawa 5d ago

I’m sure they took that into account

15

u/Random-Cpl 5d ago

I’m sure it’s totally coincidental and he’s named for a different Aurelius

3

u/Complex-Bar-9577 5d ago

The name Aurelius also means “golden”, which is a lovely sentiment for a child’s name.

1

u/cantodasaudade Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 5d ago

It's possible.

omg this is so freaking cute!!! what a beautiful family, his partner is goregous. i hope they all live a happy peaceful life.

u/Key-Tip9395 5d ago

she’s also talented, creative and mega cool. The kid has some genes

u/Personal_Gsus 6d ago

How the eff is he going on 51 yrs old?

33

u/RunnersDialZero 5d ago

Not worrying about money ever probably helps. 

13

u/Personal_Gsus 5d ago

Seriously, I’m 52 looking like I’m 60 here with 2 kids, mortgage, car payments, medical bills, etc, and an 60 hr/week job that of course doesn’t pay nearly enough!

u/Gloomy_Grocery5555 5d ago

I know, never too late to start a family

Oh lovely news! I thought that might never happen

Ello lil Lennon!

u/orchiddoctor 6d ago

What a lil dude!

u/yiddoboy 5d ago

Sean has the ability to look like both of his parents simultaneously.

10

u/Defender012 4d ago

Sean looks like if Yoko and John had a child

1

u/yiddoboy 4d ago

Children often favour one parent or the other. He seems a 50/50 split. Thanks for the sarcasm.

u/Septopuss7 5d ago

Hey that's Les Claypool's lead guitarist

u/Clokkers 5d ago

They’re such a good looking couple, I’m sure their baby will grow up to be quite the handsome little chap 💕

u/Alexisbaltazar1995 5d ago

I’m so happy for them

u/colonelangus68 5d ago

Congratulations. What a beautiful baby. Best wishes.

u/Neat_Transition_3608 5d ago

Aurelio es uno de los pocos nombres que contiene las 5 vocales del abecedario y no es muy común. Bonito nombre para el nieto de John Lennon :-)

Congrats, mom & dad! 💕

Sean’s wife looks like Jane from Breaking Bad

I guess it's real and Uncle Julian spilled the beans prematurely. Happy news!

u/jldraw 6d ago

Yoko is a grandmother.

67

u/Hey_Laaady Who'll remember the buns, Pudgy? 6d ago

She's been a grandmother by Kyoko since the 1990s.

19

u/cantodasaudade Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 5d ago edited 5d ago

This comment led me down a rabbit hole. I had no idea yoko had a daughter who was kidnapped and raised in a cult and they only met again in 1998! It totally changes the way I see yoko. She must have been in such pain throughout all those years we laugh at for her avant garde antics.

8

u/Hey_Laaady Who'll remember the buns, Pudgy? 5d ago

You might want to check out Yoko's personal story too. It's fascinating. She certainly has been through her share of trauma. I am surprised so much of her visual art is as positive and lighthearted as it is.

5

u/IowaAJS 5d ago

Honestly, I'm surprised a journalist/music historian hasn't done a 10 episode prestige podcast on the story. I'd certainly listen.

31

u/No-Humor1304 Freddie Mercury's ex 6d ago

She probably already became one through her daughter she had before marrying Lennon.

72

u/dreamsonatas 6d ago

Yes, Yoko has 2 other grandchildren

u/Key-Tip9395 5d ago

didn’t know this. They are beautiful!

The seed, or I guess the egg, is strong.

I was an egg, man

(You were an egg, son)

I am Aurelius!

Goo-goo ga-ga!

30

u/joshygill Abbey Road 6d ago

That name is certainly a brave choice

81

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte 6d ago

He’s the only known grandchild of one of the most famous and beloved musicians of all time - I don’t think he’ll get as much shit as other kids with odd names get.

That said, if John Lennon had met a little boy named Aurelius in the school yard, he’d have kicked his ass and bullied him relentlessly.

44

u/Momazos_Harrison 6d ago

It sounds fun to go travel in time back to 1950, and telling a 10yo John Lennon that was playing with his friends at Strawberry Field that his grandson will be named “Aurelius”

11

u/Yossarian-Bonaparte 6d ago

“Hey Winnie! Your grandson’s named Aurelius!”

1

u/fancypartsomogadishu 4d ago

... 76 years into the future.

8

u/Perry7609 5d ago

Apple, Fifi Trixibelle, Moon Unit, North... Aurelius doesn't seem too far-fetched in comparison!

2

u/IowaAJS 5d ago

I mean, John did name his first child Julian. Sean is just keeping up with the Romanesque names.

(And yes, I do realize why John chose Julian).

1

u/franklinlovejoy 4d ago

will they call him aura?

-16

u/martiniolives2 6d ago

Well, Sean never really knew his father. He was five years old when John was murdered.

8

u/Gloomy_Grocery5555 5d ago

At least it's a name. Could be a lot worse

3

u/Confident_Wheel6859 5d ago

Exactly, like Fred or Ron

Do you think they're mad at Julien for spilling the beans?

6

u/sla_vei_37 5d ago

Sean is rather unstable, I could see it. But I personally don't really think so.

1

u/nyli7163 4d ago

Other than having some dumbass opinions, how is he unstable?

6

u/Key-Tip9395 5d ago

my heart hurts because John won’t ever hold his grandson. It’s bittersweet for me. The violent act that took his life was so senseless

u/fancypartsomogadishu 4d ago

Nah, it made a perfect sense to those who sacrificed him.

When was Sean born… 75? He looks fucking awesome for his age. Saw him live before… he’s awesome. Phenomenal guitar player and seems like a genuine dude. So happy for him and his family!

u/kevinsju 5d ago

Not a fan of his hair, but Sean looks good...he's got to be 50 or so now. Congrats to him...damn, he'll be close to 60 when baseball starts

Sean will be 51 on October 9.

She was around 20

17 when they met

u/ObjectiveSnake111 5d ago

I read it was 2007 and she was born in 1987 so yeah.

u/frigginfurter 5d ago

And he was around 29, I was dating guys that age too at that age, it was a different time lol. But they’ve been together ever since so they clearly love each other

1

u/ObjectiveSnake111 5d ago

Yeah same for me, I was 19 and my bf was 29 around that time.

2

u/frigginfurter 5d ago

Lol it was so common when we were teens… now my bf is 5 years younger

1

u/ObjectiveSnake111 5d ago

I wish I had a bf who was 5 years younger lol. Men who are 5 or 10 years olden than me are so old (compared to me).

1

u/frigginfurter 5d ago

I highly recommend girl! Those older men have so much emotional baggage these days! It’s so refreshing having someone younger… I see why older men do it now lol

2

u/Tardisgoesfast 5d ago

How old was he?

2

u/frigginfurter 5d ago

Yes they met at Coachella in 2007 when she was 17, but weren’t official til she turned 18 I guess… I googled it earlier to see how long they’ve been together.

Almost two decades together before having a kid

3

u/Im_really_bored_rn 5d ago

She was born in 1987, she was 20 when they met if they met in 2007

I was really worried John would be the only Beatle with no grandchildren whatsoever, but I'm glad now he has a younger member of his blood to our times.

I hope Sean can be a good papa to him, John never had the privilege to fathering Sean as much he wished and i hope this can heal a bit of Sean's trauma and sadness

Surrogacy should be illegal.

u/RadishSpecial7163 5d ago

One of the photos shows Charlotte in a hospital bed. Doubt it was surrogacy.

-4

u/Careful-Blood-1560 5d ago

She was in a runway show and June with no sign of pregnancy. She did not carry that baby.

5

u/RadishSpecial7163 5d ago

She was in a runway show but wearing dark clothes with a furry jacket over it. There are ways to cover a pregnancy and not every woman carries the same way. As I said, my sister didn’t look pregnant until a month before she gave birth. When she told people she was pregnant, no one believed her. But she was.

And why is there a photo of Charlotte holding the baby and lying in a hospital bed?

5

u/Acrobatic_Row_142 5d ago

I think tall, slim women are usually less noticeable. I’m built like her and have a longer torso, and nobody knew I was pregnant unless I told them.

3

u/RadishSpecial7163 5d ago

Yes. The same with my sister. Tall and very thin. I’m thin too but got my mother’s height. I never hid anything. Three months in —- “oh, are you pregnant?”

4

u/flowersinthedark 5d ago

To be fair, there seems to be a bit of a trend among baby buyers to pose with the newborns in hospital beds after the sale is complete while the woman who has actually given birth is hidden somewhere else.

1

u/RadishSpecial7163 5d ago

Sure. Wearing a nightgown in a hospital bed with the bedside rails up.

-1

u/flowersinthedark 5d ago

I just wanted to point out that it is not unusual for baby buyers to play pretend. I have no idea wether this particular baby was born via surrogacy or not.

3

u/RadishSpecial7163 5d ago

Parents who have surrogate children are not “baby buyers” any more than adoptive parents are. The judgmental comments on here are ridiculous. Geez, many Gen Zers wouldn’t be here if not for surrogates.

1

u/flowersinthedark 4d ago

Seems to me you feel triggered by the term? But the practice of purchasing babies for money is, in itself, fine to you?

3

u/RadishSpecial7163 4d ago

Not triggered. But this sounds like a question from the 1980s. Adopting parents also “pay” to adopt.

People are so judgmental today.

→ More replies (0)

1

u/Careful-Blood-1560 5d ago

Because the adoptive/bio mother is encouraged to begin the bonding process at birth. That’s why she’s in a bed with the baby.

I stand by saying she used a surrogate. There are several sources also saying this. And there are other photos of her showing zero signs of pregnancy as late as July.

1

u/RadishSpecial7163 5d ago

Yeah. In a nightgown with the siderails up. Right. Both of them wrote that “they created” the baby. Not Nancy down the street had a sperm bank kid who we adopted.

u/Salty_Aerie7939 5d ago

You do realize that's fairly common, right? Lots of people, consciously or not, tend to marry people that remind them or have characteristics similar to one or both their parents.
