Kevin Hart is widely recognized for his hit stand-up comedy shows and blockbuster movies. But beyond his success as a comedian and actor, Kevin is also a devoted father to four children. He shares two kids, Heaven and Hendrix, with his first wife, Torrei Hart, and later had two more children, Kenzo and Kaori, with his second wife, Eniko Hart. Together, they make up a big, happy family.

As the eldest, Heaven shares more similarities with her famous father than many may realize. During a press tour for The Secret Life of Pets 2, Kevin revealed that he encouraged Heaven to pursue a career in entertainment and that she’s always making him laugh. Though it’s been a while since Kevin used his children as comedy material, Heaven is no longer a little girl. Now a young woman, it’s time to learn more about Heaven beyond her famous dad.

Heaven has always been a fan of her dad’s family-friendly movies

In 2019, Kevin Hart brought his family to the red carpet for the premiere of The Secret Life of Pets 2. As a family-friendly animated film, it was the ideal opportunity for Kevin to share the moment with his children. The family coordinated their outfits, featuring shades of white, purple, and teal. At 14 years old, Heaven Hart looked effortlessly stylish in a white sweatshirt paired with joggers.

During an interview with Access Hollywood while promoting Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, Kevin shared that his children can’t always watch his films due to explicit content. “Unfortunately, a lot of my movies have a ton of profanity in them… so having the chance to do something kid-friendly is always a win,” he explained. Heaven, however, was a fan of the films she could watch. After viewing Captain Underpants, Kevin recalled Heaven telling him, “You did good, dad. You did good.”

Heaven blossomed into a young lady at her homecoming

In 2019, Kevin Hart’s fans were shоcked when they realized that Heaven Hart was old enough to attend her first high school homecoming. Eniko Hart shared a photo of Heaven in a stunning green mini dress, looking both beautiful and grown-up. To help Heaven prepare for the special night, both Eniko and Torrei Hart came together to get her ready.

While it’s unclear whether Heaven had a date for the event, Kevin had previously opened up about his daughter’s crushes. “She actually talks to me, which makes me mad, but I can’t let her know that because she’s so comfortable sharing things with me. ‘I think I like this guy. He’s nice, he’s cool. I just want you to know because I want to tell you everything,’” Kevin shared with E! News. He went on to explain, “My mom had two boys, me and my brother, so this is a whole new experience for me, dealing with a girl. I don’t want to stop her from anything, but she is still a child, so I make sure she understands what’s okay and what’s not.”

Heaven Hart had a memorable Sweet 16 celebration

Turning 16 is a milestone for many young people, especially in the United States, where it marks the age at which one can obtain a learner’s permit or driver’s license. In July 2021, just months after Heaven reached this milestone, Kevin Hart posted a selfie showing him sitting in the passenger seat while his daughter took the wheel. “My little girl is growing up,” he wrote in the caption.

As reported by Entertainment Tonight, Kevin didn’t gift his daughter an old car for her birthday. Instead, he surprised her with a brand-new Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV, valued at $85,000 at the time. Along with the flashy new car, complete with red bows, Heaven marked her Sweet 16 with an incredible party themed around “My Hero Academia,” where friends and family gathered for an outdoor movie and an alfresco meal.

Heaven also spent time interning at her dad’s production company

In 2021, Kevin Hart shared with Access Online that Heaven had started interning at his production company, Hartbeat. “She’s doing great, but she tends to keep her distance from me,” he admitted. “She’s focused, building relationships with the people in the office, and discussing the things she wants to do with them,” the comedian explained.

Kevin further mentioned that he might sometimes come off as intimidating to his daughter, so she prefers to be well-prepared before approaching him with ideas. During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Kevin revealed that he’d given Heaven a script to review, but he hadn’t read it himself. “We had a call about it, and she was so focused. She had notes, thoughts, and ideas. I didn’t want her to know I hadn’t read it yet, so I had no idea what she was talking about,” he confessed.

Kevin expressed how proud he was of his daughter. “For my daughter to ask me to teach her the business and truly come under my wing and grow—that was the biggest moment ever,” Kevin said with pride.

When Heaven turned 18, Kevin found himself reflecting on how quickly time had passed

In March 2023, Kevin Hart highlighted how quickly time was passing by posting a childhood photo of Heaven Hart to celebrate her 18th birthday. The picture showed a young Heaven at a school assembly, grinning widely while missing her two front teeth in an endearing way. “And just like that my little girl is 18 … wow … Where does the time go?????” Kevin wrote in the caption. “So proud and so happy to see you grow into the amazing woman that you are!!!!”

To mark Heaven’s milestone, her mother, Torrei Hart, took her for matching tattoos. The mother-daughter duo got small red hearts inked on their wrists, symbolizing their everlasting bond. Torrei shared the experience on Instagram, along with a collection of photos and videos from Heaven’s 18th birthday celebration. Her special day included cake and a joyous gathering with loved ones. It’s clear that Heaven is deeply cherished and has blossomed into a well-rounded young woman.

Heaven was the salutatorian of her graduating class

Kevin Hart, beaming with pride, expressed his excitement for Heaven’s senior prom. In a May 2023 Instagram post showcasing his daughter in a gorgeous green gown, he wrote, “I have no words … just pure joy. My little girl looked unbelievable yesterday. Where does the time go…”

Later that month, Kevin celebrated another major moment in his family’s life—Heaven’s high school graduation. For many fans, it was hard to believe that the little girl Kevin often joked about on stage had grown into a young adult. Heaven graduated as the salutatorian, holding the second-highest GPA in her class.

As the salutatorian, Heaven was entrusted with giving a speech. Her mom, Torrei Hart, shared a snippet of it on Instagram. Though Heaven admitted to being nervous, her comedic timing revealed her connection to her father’s humor. She shared how she sought advice from her parents for her speech, and while her mother gave heartfelt advice, her dad suggested she go up to the mic and shout, “We did it, bi–!” The audience burst into laughter, as it was clear that Heaven inherited her father’s sense of humor.

Heaven has expressed a desire to attend college in New York

What’s next for Heaven Hart? Kevin Hart shared in a heartfelt Instagram post that his niece, Sanny, was the first in the family to graduate from college. “Now my little girl is heading in that same direction,” he revealed. While Kevin didn’t specify which university Heaven would attend, it seems she may not be staying in Los Angeles.

In 2022, Kevin mentioned on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that Heaven was eager to leave home. “She’s already talking about going to school somewhere else. She’s way too excited about it,” he shared with emotion. Kevin went on to mention that Heaven was considering moving to New York City, though he was doing his best to persuade her to stay in L.A. “I’ve been trying to manipulate her like, ‘Maybe you need a place here in L.A. ’cause the schools here are just better,'” he joked. “‘Maybe somewhere not that far so I can get to you.'”
