Rob Lowe Shares a Birthday Snapshot of John Owen, and Fans Can’t Believe the Similarity
Former teen heartthrob Rob Lowe turned heads again — not for a movie role, but for a fatherly moment that melted hearts across social media. On November 9, 2025, the 61-year-old actor posted a touching birthday tribute to his youngest son, John Owen Lowe, who just turned 30.
The Instagram post featured a playful snapshot of John Owen relaxing shirtless with two adorable pups, alongside a message full of pride and humor.
“Happy 30th birthday to you, my beloved JohnOwen!” Rob wrote. “So very proud of you on so many levels. May your official entry into adulthood bring you the perspective to be nice to me on social media!”
Fans couldn’t get enough. Within hours, the comments flooded in — many marveling at the uncanny resemblance between father and son. One fan joked, “He’s your clone!” while another declared John Owen “a little Rob Lowe with Alain Delon looks.”
Beyond the jokes, the post reminded fans how deeply connected the Lowe family remains, both on-screen and off.
Rob shares John Owen with his wife of 34 years, Sheryl Lowe, 64 — a relationship that has weathered addiction, fame, and family challenges. The couple also has an older son, David, 32. The two first met on a blind date in the 1980s, later reconnecting on the set of Bad Influence in 1990 — the very film that marked a turning point in Rob’s life and career.
