Hania Riley Sinclair: The Rising Voice of the Franchise

Hania Riley Sinclair, 17, known affectionately as "Similce," has successfully transitioned from a red-carpet regular to a professional performer. Born on April 2, 2008, Hania’s entry into the world was famously guided by Diesel’s late co-star, Paul Walker, who encouraged the actor to take an active role in the delivery room. Today, Hania carries that connection forward through her voice-acting role in the Netflix animated series Fast and Furious: Spy Racers, where she portrays the tech prodigy Sissy. Her bond with the "Fast" family is further cemented by her close relationship with Meadow Walker, for whom she served as maid of honor in 2021.

Vincent Sinclair: Stepping Into Young Dominic Toretto's Shoes

The actor’s only son, 15-year-old Vincent Sinclair, made his formal cinematic debut by stepping into his father’s most iconic role. In F9, Vincent portrayed the younger version of Dominic Toretto, a casting choice Diesel attributes to director Justin Lin rather than personal nepotism. Beyond the silver screen, Vincent shares his father’s long-standing passion for fantasy gaming. Diesel recently celebrated Vincent’s interest in Dungeons & Dragons, a hobby the actor has maintained for over 40 years, by sharing glimpses of an intricate handbook-inspired birthday cake for his son’s 12th milestone.

Pauline Sinclair: A Living Tribute to Paul Walker

The youngest of the trio, 11-year-old Pauline Sinclair, carries perhaps the most poignant name in the family. Born in March 2015, she was named in honor of Paul Walker, who passed away in 2013. Diesel has frequently spoken about Walker’s perceived presence during her birth, noting that naming her Pauline was a vital way to keep his brotherly bond a permanent fixture within his household. While she has yet to take a formal acting role, Pauline has already inherited the family’s affinity for automotive culture, reportedly favoring a '69 Dodge Daytona during childhood play.
