Vin Diesel is ensuring Meadow Walker feels celebrated on her birthday, even in the absence of her late father, Paul Walker. Meadow, who is Diesel's goddaughter and the daughter of his late 'Fast & Furious' costar, turned 28 on November 4, 2026.
Celebrating the occasion, Diesel shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram to honor the young model and her special day. "Proud of you beyond words...," he wrote alongside a black-and-white photo of the pair capturing a tender moment.
"Happy Birthday angel... May you continue to bring light to this world," the Hollywood star added in his touching social media post.
Meadow, the only child of Paul Walker and Rebecca Soteros, was just 14 when her father tragically died in a car crash in 2013 at age 40. She had moved to California to live with him only a year prior, having spent her formative childhood years growing up in Hawaii.
Since the tragedy, 59-year-old Diesel has remained a constant and supportive presence in her life, fulfilling a fatherly role. The deep bond between Diesel and Meadow has frequently made headlines, showcasing a true extension of Hollywood family values.
In March, the duo reunited for a special Sunday family dinner to mark the 25th anniversary of the legendary 'Fast & Furious' action franchise.
