Believe it or not, Jack Nicholson is officially 89 years old. The Hollywood legend celebrated his birthday on Wednesday, April 22, and he was in the company of his daughter Vivian and another icon.

It’s one of the many iconic photos of the shining star, when he was a young man, building the career that would span generations. Under the photo, she asked, "89??"

Since then, he’s kept a low profile, never making an official retirement announcement, just gradually shifting out of public view. But he never fully disappeared. For years, he was a courtside fixture at Los Angeles Lakers games with Lorraine and her little brother, Ray, his last being in 2023.

Jack has never been married. He's a father of six, with five different women, and it's reported that he only has a relationship with Lorraine and her brother Ray, both from his relationship with Rebecca Broussard and Jennifer, from Sandra Knight.

I took them to things I knew they might not love — opera, ballet,” Jack said, per Today. “They like going to the ball games with me. And they are very comfortable around show business; they are good set rats.”
