Garcelle Beauvais has three sons: Oliver (born 1991) from her first marriage and 4-year-old twins Jax and Jaid (born 2007) from her second marriage to ex-husband Mike Nillon.

She wrote in her blog:

“As much as I love what I have accomplished so far as an actress, I have to say that being a mum - with all its challenges and rewards - has been the best role of my life.

“To this day, my happiest moments are when all three of my boys are with me hanging out at home. Even though they are a generation apart, they love each other so much.”
