Jon M. Chu's Baby Girl Makes Red Carpet Debut One Year After He Missed Wicked Premiere for Her Birth

Published: Nov 18 2025

Jon M. Chu's family exudes an irresistible charm. A year after welcoming their fifth bundle of joy, the Wicked director strolled the red carpet alongside his wife Kristin Hodge and their brood—eight-year-old Willow, six-year-old Jonathan Heights, four-year-old Ruby, two-year-old Iggy, and one-year-old Stevie Sky—for the premiere of his latest film Wicked: For Good in New York City on November 17th. John donned a heather gray wool coat and a black scarf for the occasion, keeping warm while Kristin coordinated in a black-and-white strapless gown, accessorized with a statement diamond necklace and her hair styled in a chic updo.

As for their little ones, the couple—who tied the knot in 2018—dressed their children in the cutest matching outfits. Indeed, the boys Jonathan Heights and Iggy sported teal suits with black undershirts, while the girls Willow, Ruby, and Stevie Sky were real-life princesses in their baby pink tulle skirts and white sweaters. This outing marked the first time the family of seven walked the Wicked red carpet together since the Crazy Rich Asians director missed the premiere for the franchise's first installment due to Kristin going into labor with their youngest.

"I can't believe this happened while the movie is premiering," Jon shared in a pre-recorded clip announcing the arrival of Stevie Sky during the November 2024 premiere. "Magic is in the air. Welcome to our world. You're gonna do great. You have a lot of witches on your side." The 46-year-old further shared how last-minute his absence from the first Wicked premiere was. "I was at the hotel across the street, ready to come," he explained. "My whole family was there. My friends, all our loved ones were there. And I've waited for three years to have this moment to share our movie with you… but I've waited my whole life to have this moment, to have our fifth child right now."
