Fans Can’t Believe How Grown-Up Robin Thicke’s Son Julian Looks on the Red Carpet
Apparently, the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards were less about the music and more about Robin Thicke’s teenage son, Julian Fuego, stealing the spotlight. The 14-year-old, who shares his father’s penchant for style and charisma, made his first red carpet appearance since 2023, and let’s just say, the internet is still recovering. Dressed in a sleek black tuxedo jacket paired with black-and-green sneakers, Julian proved that the apple doesn’t fall far from the fashion tree. Meanwhile, Robin, ever the proud dad, opted for a black-and-white checkered suit, because nothing says “I’m still cool” like a pattern that could double as a picnic blanket.
But let’s not reduce this to just a fashion moment. Julian isn’t just a well-dressed teenager; he’s also a budding musician, according to Robin, who gushed to *People* in 2024 about his son’s talents. “He’s an amazing singer and an amazing performer,” Robin said, before adding the obligatory parental caveat: “I’d rather he follow Barack Obama’s footsteps and become president.” Sure, Robin, because the world definitely needs another Thicke in the White House.
What’s even more fascinating is how Julian has influenced Robin’s own career. In a 2011 interview with *People*, Robin admitted that becoming a father shifted his entire perspective on music. “I no longer perform for me, I perform for my family,” he said, adding that Julian is “the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.” Aww, how touching. But let’s not forget that this is the same man who gave us “Blurred Lines,” so maybe Julian’s influence is the universe’s way of balancing the scales.
The iHeartRadio Awards also saw a slew of other celebrities strutting their stuff, from SZA taking home R&B Artist of the Year to LL Cool J hosting the event with his usual effortless charm. But let’s be real—Julian was the real star of the night. Whether he’s following in his dad’s musical footsteps or charting his own path, one thing’s for sure: the kid’s got style, talent, and a whole lot of attention.
And there you have it—another red carpet moment that proves nepotism babies are thriving, and the rest of us are just here to watch.
