Jared Tristan Padalecki rose to prominence as a teen sensation but this was after several attempts at ‘hit movies’. He had a few minor roles like when he was a high school bully in Cheaper by the Dozen (2003). The light of fame finally settled on him in 2005 just after he was done being a cast on Gilmore Girls (2000 – 2005). He was asked to come be a ‘reluctant superhero’ on the fantasy horror show Supernatural (2005 – present). Since ’05, Padalecki has been in every episode of the series and has succeeded in bolstering his fame with his ‘demon-slaying’ skills.

Padalecki and his wife were beyond excited at the arrival of their first Pada baby. We had no idea how much of a family man he could be until his son arrived. The ‘New York Minute (2004)’ actor is violently protective of family time and is in every way possible trying to find a balance between work and family.
Austin Shepherd Padalecki (son with Genevieve Cortese)

Sheph was born less than 24 months after Jared first experienced fatherhood. He is a little boy still but we are never tired of seeing his cute little face on his father’s social media pages. Padalecki is indeed a sucker for his babies. He hopes one day to be their basketball coach and to spend more and more time with them as they grow.

By the time when Odette was born it was already a habit to Padalecki to spend his off time at home. His joy knew no bounds when he became the father of an adorable baby girl. She is just some months old now but we are sure she is getting all the attention she can get from her very-family-oriented parents.
