Julian Charles John Lennon

Julian was born on April 8, 1963, in Liverpool, England. His full name is John Charles Julian Lennon. He later renamed himself as Julian Charles John Lennon in 2020, and the reason behind changing his name was to reduce his troubles at airports and security checkpoints. The name John has always been a source of embarrassment for him.

Julian Lennon has followed his father into the world of music. He has produced seven studio albums up to date. In 2022, Julian produced his album titled, Jude. This album was named after the Beatles’ song “Hey Jude,” which Paul McCartney composed to ease Julian when he and his parents were going through their divorce.

Julian Lennon is a filmmaker, photographer and writer. In 2017, Julian published his book called Touch the Earth, which is the first in a series of three books for kids on eco-awareness. Julian wants his books to help start meaningful talks between the parent and child about life, love, and nature. He had many fond recollections of his father.

Julian watched the documentary The Beatles: Get Back, which was produced in 2021. Julian told that he remembered his father being “goofy, funny, sarcastic, charming.” He noted that he fell “in love with him again” after watching it.

Furthermore, Julian recalled the phone call where John introduced him to “(Just Like) Starting Over,” a song John had remixed just before the call. He remembered hearing his dad happy and contented in their conversation.

On Instagram in May 2026, Julian revealed some information regarding his current health. Julian has been diagnosed with coronary heart disease and pre-diabetes. Doctors were able to catch both diseases early enough to believe that Julian could undo any damage and live a long and healthy life.

Sean Ono Lennon

Sean Lennon was born on October 9, 1975, in New York City. His birthday coincided with his father’s 35th birthday. John stopped making music and became a stay-at-home dad in order to take care of Sean. Sean was raised in the neighborhood of singer Roberta Flack, whom he called “Aunt Roberta.” Sean was also a musician and a record producer. Sean had recorded three solo albums.

Sean has also recorded five albums with his mother, Yoko Ono. Sean has co-founded the psychedelic rock band called Claypool Lennon Delirium. Sean has produced songs for artists including Lana Del Rey. Sean stated that he started playing music in order to deal with the passing away of his father. Learning songs of his father made Sean close to him.

In his words, “It helped me get to know him better. ”Sean is in good terms with his half-brother, Julian. He is Julian’s “best mate.” Julian and Sean converse frequently and encourage one another. In 2021, Julian and Sean went to see the Beatles: Get Back in Los Angeles. At first, Julian didn’t want to see the film, but Sean made him come.

It was an important moment for them both. Sean is currently in a relationship with a musician and a model, Charlotte Kemp Muhl. The two met at Coachella in 2005. Together, they created the band called The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger. In September 2026, Sean and Charlotte announced the birth of their son, Aurelius. Sean disclosed this information on X, posting a picture of the whole family of three.

Both Julian and Sean perpetuate the memory of their father through music and art. They recall fond memories of their dad during interviews. They work together on projects dedicated to their father. At the same time, they develop their artistic skills independently. John Lennon’s sons are still creating themselves. They perpetuate the memory of their father and build independent careers.
