In October 2004, the world of cinema lost a true icon—52-year-old actor Christopher Reeve passed away from heart failure. To millions of DC Comics fans, he is eternally remembered for his fearless hero who stood for justice and defended humanity: Superman.

Today, Christopher’s legacy lives on through his children. He left behind two sons and a daughter: Will, now 32, Matthew, 44, and Alexandra, 40. Each of them has carved out their own successful path in both family and career.

Matthew, born on December 20, 1979, in London, is Christopher’s eldest child with actress Gae Exton. The couple had an on-again, off-again relationship spanning a decade. Interestingly, when Christopher first learned of Gae’s pregnancy, he was dating his *Somewhere in Time* co-star Jane Seymour, though that romance quickly ended.

Today, Reeve’s firstborn is an accomplished screenwriter for film and television, and he sits on the board of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation—a cause close to the family, dedicated to raising awareness and funds for spinal cord injury research. Matthew keeps his private life remarkably discreet, and it remains unclear if he has a partner or children.

In the years that followed, Christopher’s youngest, Will, moved in with relatives and was raised by his maternal grandparents, as well as his older siblings. Will later attended Middlebury College, where he began his journey as a journalist. Since 2018, he’s been a correspondent for ABC News, often appearing on *Good Morning America*.
