Robin Williams’ eldest son Zak has named his first child after the famous actor.
Zak’s partner Olivia June gave birth to a baby boy on May 22 and the couple has decided on a name that pays tribute to the child’s grandfather.
The newborn has been named McLaurin Clement Williams — with the infant’s first name a nod to Robin’s middle name, “Robin McLaurin Williams.”
The couple has reportedly been calling the nearly one-month-old baby Mickey for short.
Zak’s little sister Zelda Williams excitedly shared the news on her Instagram account, proudly announcing that she’s finally an aunty.
Olivia also shared why they chose to keep the news private for so long saying:
“We’ve kept this news private for a number of reasons, one of which is my increasing emphasis and appreciation for living life away from social media and focusing on my offline relationships, another being the challenges that face us as women startup founders. I have a lot more to say about this later, but at a high level…
“Becoming a mom is something I’ve always known I wanted, but as an early stage startup founder sometimes sounded impossible, not because I didn’t think I could manage it, but because I knew the extent of bias in the industry against me as a female founder and the fight to be taken seriously in building a business focused on solving social challenges for women. (Not to mention the fact that maternity leave doesn’t exist for me!)
“As I’m proud to have successfully built a business that doesn’t rely on Silicon Valley VCs taking women’s friendship seriously to operate and has an amazing supportive team, I’m excited to be expanding my role from global change-maker startup CEO, connecting millions of women to their best friends, to a milk factory, raising a really amazing little man who has a boss mamma.
“None of this would be possible without the most incredible and supportive partner a woman could ever hope for. Zak, the headline is true, you’re already and will always be, “World’s Greatest Dad!” Mickey and I are the luckiest. ”
Congratulations to them! Such a touching tribute.
