Jeff Bridges, famously known as “The Dude” from The Big Lebowski, is not just a beloved movie star but also a devoted father to his three daughters — Isabelle, Jessica, and Hayley — with his wife Susan Geston.
Despite his successful career, Bridges has always made sure to prioritize his family and cherish his relationships with his children.
Isabelle Bridges Boesche, 44
Isabelle Bridges Boesche, Jeff and Susan’s firstborn, arrived on August 6, 1981. While Jeff was busy with his film career, Isabelle was raised mostly by her mother at their family home in Santa Barbara.
Despite his demanding schedule, Isabelle has always admired the loving relationship her parents share, once saying, “They love each other, but they like each other, they spend time together. They make an effort to ask each other questions about what the other is interested in.”
Isabelle went on to marry her college sweetheart, Brandon Boesch, in 2007 at the family’s Santa Barbara home. They have two children, Gracie and Ben, who lovingly call Jeff “Dudie” or “Dude-pa.” Isabelle is now a children’s book author, having released Daddy Daughter Day in 2020, with Jeff serving as the illustrator.
She also runs her own business, The Mother’s Empowerment Sisterhood, and currently resides in the Bay Area.
Jessica Lily Bridges, 41
Born on June 14, 1983, Jessica is the middle child of Jeff and Susan’s three daughters. Although she keeps a relatively low profile, it’s clear that music is a huge part of Jessica’s life. Jeff has shared that the two bond over music, with Jessica sometimes opening for him during performances.
In her Instagram bio, she writes, “Music is the thing that makes me feel the most alive — listening to it, creating it, witnessing it!”
Jessica’s personal life remains private, but she has expressed deep love and admiration for her father. In 2015, she shared a sweet Father’s Day post, saying, “Love ya, pops!!! Life sure is a wild ride with you by my side.”
Hayley Roselouise Bridges, 39
Hayley, the youngest of the Bridges sisters, was born on October 17, 1985. Unlike her sisters, Hayley still lives in Santa Barbara and is very close to her parents. Jeff has praised her for her talents, calling her “a wonderful interior designer.”
Hayley studied at Loyola Marymount University before pursuing a career in interior design, and today, she runs her own business, Hayley Bridges Design, which focuses on transforming homes and outdoor spaces.
In addition to her career, Hayley played a vital role in supporting her father during his health battles, including his fight against non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2020 and his battle with COVID-19 in 2021.
Her wedding to Justin Shane in 2021 was a significant milestone for the family, and Jeff was able to walk her down the aisle, fulfilling a deeply emotional goal during his recovery. Hayley later spoke about the significance of Justin’s relationship with the family, saying, “I believe this to be an example of his wonderful energy.”
