Now, all of his kids are grown up, with his youngest, Montana, being in his mid-20s. According to Montana’s Instagram, the 27-year-old is a creative who dabbles in poetry.
Speaking on raising his kids, Richard noted that it was not easy blending seven kids, sharing that it caused tension between him and Georgiana initially, but they managed to pull through. One comment he made about his kids involved joking about how, although his big family wasn’t planned, he said that seven might just be his lucky number.
The Unexpected Birth of Richard Thomas’s Triplet Daughters
Richard welcomed his triplet daughters in 1981, and their birth came as a surprise because the actor and his then-wife, Alma, were confident that they would only have twins. Their confidence was based on the fact that twins ran on both sides of their family, and when Alma did her sonogram at seven months, doctors had confirmed the babies were twins.
However, they were in for a surprise during delivery. Richard remembered being called by his wife, who only had a few words, indicating that the babies were three instead of two. At the time, he was away from home, filming in New York, but, being the doting dad he is, he dropped everything for the sake of his girls.
