Having a child in her mid-forties came with challenges, and Davis has never publicly shared details about her pregnancy or whether she used IVF, as many older celebrity mothers do.
In 2004, she gave birth to twin boys, Kaiis and Kian, and said her biggest concern was raising three children under the age of three.
She also admitted another fear: that she could never love anyone as much as she loved her daughter—until she met her sons.
Unlike many famous parents, Davis has not pushed any of her children toward acting.
She is especially protective of her daughter, stressing that she does not want her exposed to an industry where women can be exploited and objectified.
Still, Alizeh may follow a creative path. Her LinkedIn profile shows she is studying at the University of Southern California, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in music industry and cinematic arts.
As her children grew, they also shaped how Davis viewed Hollywood. When her kids were toddlers, she noticed gender inequality in film and television and chose to confront it directly, founding the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media in 2004. Today, she remains a prominent advocate for equality in entertainment, noting that 96% of films are directed by men.
The Thelma & Louise star emphasizes that this is not because women lack talent, but because the system is dominated by men.

Now 69, Davis continues to work as an actress.
She is set to appear in the Duffer Brothers’ upcoming Netflix supernatural mystery, The Boroughs. According to Deadline, the series “is set in a seemingly picturesque retirement community where a group of unlikely heroes must band together to stop an otherworldly threat from stealing the one thing they don’t have… time.”
