William H. Macy's Children: Meet His Kids With Felicity Huffman

William H. Macy has taken home awards for his work in Shameless, Door to Door and Fargo, among many more, but the actor also deserves an accolade for being a great dad to his two daughters. William shares his children, Sophia and Georgia, with his wife, Felicity Huffman.

Before the Emmy winner started a family with the Desperate Housewives alum, he was married to his first spouse, Carla Santos Shamberg. William and the Erin Brockovich producer exchanged vows in 1980, but they split five years later and held off from having any kids.

The Wild Hogs actor found love, however, with Felicity in the 1990s. The couple married in 1997, and three years later, they welcomed their first child, Sophia, in 2000. Their second daughter, Georgia, arrived less than two years later in 2002.

Considering Sophia and Georgia grew up in the public eye thanks to their mom and dad’s Hollywood careers, it’s no surprise the blonde beauties are naturals in the spotlight. Aside from sharing the red carpet with William and Felicity throughout the years growing up, the girls are quite popular on social media.

Like William and the Otherhood actress, Sophia is interested in pursuing a showbiz career. Georgia, on the other hand, has a fondness for politics and the government. There’s no doubt Sophia and Georgia have bright futures in whatever paths they pursue.

Now that Sophia and Georgia are blossoming into their young adult years, William can’t believe how quickly time has passed. In addition to learning how to cope with his little girls being all grown up, he’s also had to adjust to watching them date.

While chatting about his daughters’ love lives, William joked he’s “gonna threaten the guys” who show interest in his kids. “You know, I started doing all the clichés … I’m gonna dig a moat around our house,” he jokingly told Us Weekly in Mat 2018. However, William revealed he quickly changed his mind.

“Then I thought, ‘OK, what do you really want for your daughters?'” he continued. “And I realized: I want them to be happy and lusty and safe. I want them to have a lot of sex in their lifetime! Good, healthy wonderful sex with no guilt. That’s what I really want.”

Sophia Grace Macy

William became a dad when Felicity gave birth to Sophia on August 1, 2000. Like her parents, Sophia is an aspiring actress. In addition to starring in “a lot of plays” throughout high school, the Fargo actor told Us Weekly, Sophia made her acting debut in 2017’s Aurora. IMDb states she also has credits in The Layover and The Twilight Zone.

Sophia was embroiled in her mom’s college admissions scandal when Felicity was charged in March 2019 for paying $15,000 to an exam proctor to edit Sophia’s SAT test, CNN reported. She was sentenced to 14 days in prison, a $30,000 fine, supervised release for one year and 250 hours of community service after pleading guilty months later in May.

“In my desperation to be a good mother, I talked myself into believing that all I was doing was giving my daughter a fair shot,” she said in a letter to the court, per CNN. “I see the irony in that statement now because what I have done is the opposite of fair. I have broken the law, deceived the educational community, betrayed my daughter and failed my family.”

Felicity reported to federal prison on October 15, 2020, but she was released after serving 11 days of her two-week sentence. Though it was never made clear why, William was not involved or changed in the college admissions scandal.

Georgia Grace Macy

William and Felicity welcomed their second child on March 14, 2002. While her older sister is following in their parents’ footsteps, Georgia is “crazy about political science,” the Jurassic Park 3 actor told Us Weekly.

According to Georgia’s Instagram, she’s a student at Vassar College, a private liberal arts college located in Poughkeepsie, New York. Though Georgia is a huge brainiac, it appears she also loves modeling as she frequently shares gorgeous photos of posing on social media.
