Cassius Riley, born in 2009 to Morgan O’Kane and Domino Kirke, has already made a name for himself at the tender age of 13. With his parents' decent media recognition, Cassius has grown up surrounded by celebrities. His grandfather, Simon Kirke, was an English drummer, and his great-grandparents were Vivian Percy Kirke and Olive May.
A Close Bond with His Father
Riley's father, Morgan O’Kane, may not be as prominent in the media as some other parents of celebrity children, but Cassius has a special bond with him. Morgan is an adventure-loving man who loves taking his son on exciting trips. We can see Riley and his dad going on hikes, rock climbing, and more on Morgan's Instagram.
A Nephew of Actresses Lola and Jemina Kirke
Cassius is also the nephew of actresses Lola and Jemina Kirke. Jemina is an actress and director who rose to fame after her performance in the HBO series "Girls." She has also worked on films like "Untogether," "Tiny Furniture," and "The Little Hours." On the other hand, Cassius's aunt Lola is an actress and singer/songwriter known for her work in Amazon Studios TV series "Mozart in the Jungle" as well as films like "Another Happy Day," "Gemini," "Viper Club," and "American Woman."
His Mother Married Penn Badgley after Breakup from His Dad
Domino Kirke, Cassius's mother, met singer Morgan O’Kane in 2007. They started dating soon after and welcomed their first child within a couple of years. Domino was 25 when she became pregnant. The couple separated in the early 2010s when Riley was still an infant, but the exact date is not publicly known.
After the breakup, Domino married actor Penn Badgley in 2017. They started dating in 2014 and announced their engagement on Instagram.
Riley's Mother is a Doula
Domino Kirke, Cassius's mother, initially rose to fame as a singer but later became a doula in 2009. She planned to become a midwife if her music career didn't work out. After giving birth to Cassius, she decided to pursue her dream and founded Carriage House Doulas with Samantha Huggins.
Became a Big Brother in 2020
Cassius became a big brother in 2020 when his mother gave birth to her first child, James Badgley, with actor Penn Badgley. Domino announced the news on Instagram and shared that she had suffered two miscarriages before finally welcoming her child.
