The Unfiltered Truth: 4 Surprising Facts About Bill Burr's Two Kids, Lola And His Unnamed Son
Comedian Bill Burr, known for his signature brand of unfiltered, angry observational comedy, has a surprisingly private family life that stands in stark contrast to his public persona. As of December 2025, the star of *Old Dads* and creator of *F Is For Family* is a father to two children with his wife, actress and producer Nia Renée Hill. While Burr often jokes about the struggles of parenthood on his stage and podcast, the reality is that becoming a father has profoundly altered the man behind the microphone, transforming him into what he himself calls a "better person."
The intense curiosity surrounding his family is a testament to his fame, yet Burr and Hill have made a deliberate effort to shield their children from the spotlight, only revealing a limited amount of information. This article dives into the latest, most current details about his daughter, Lola, and his unnamed son, exploring their ages, the comedian's unique parenting philosophies, and the hilarious, yet touching, ways they've become fodder for his comedy empire.

Burr's path to fatherhood began later in life; he was nearly 50 when his first child was born. This later-in-life experience is a frequent source of material, as he often contrasts his old, angry self with the vulnerable, protective father he has become.
Lola and The Unnamed Son: A Look at Bill Burr's Children
Bill Burr and Nia Renée Hill are parents to two children, a daughter and a son. The couple has been fiercely protective of their children's privacy, which explains why the public knows relatively little about them, especially their youngest child.
Lola Burr: The Eldest Child
Lola Burr is the couple's first child, a daughter born in January 2017. As of December 2025, Lola is nearly 9 years old. Her birth marked a significant turning point in Bill Burr's life, an event he has discussed at length in his comedy, often with a mix of surprise and genuine affection.
Burr has shared anecdotes about his daughter's strong personality and the challenges of being a father to a young girl. He frequently jokes about his attempts to bond with her, often finding himself outmaneuvered by his wife's superior parenting instincts. Lola is often referenced in his stand-up and on the *Monday Morning Podcast* (MMP), providing a comedic window into the life of a superstar comedian navigating school drop-offs and children's theater.
The Unnamed Son: The Private Second Child
Bill and Nia welcomed their second child, a son, in June 2020. As of late 2025, the boy is 5 years old. In a concerted effort to maintain his privacy, the couple has never publicly revealed their son's name. This decision underscores their commitment to giving their children a normal upbringing away from the constant scrutiny of the entertainment world.
Despite the anonymity, Burr has given a few glimpses into his son's personality on the MMP. He has described his youngest as a “smart” and “strong-minded kid.” In a May 2022 podcast segment, Burr shared a story about his son getting "locked in" a mindset, a common toddler behavior that Burr, in his typical style, turned into a hilarious observation about human stubbornness.
From Angry Comedian to 'Better Person': How Fatherhood Changed Bill Burr
The most profound and often discussed aspect of Bill Burr's family life is the undeniable impact his children have had on his personal development. Before fatherhood, his comedy was often fueled by a palpable, simmering rage at the world's absurdities. Since becoming a dad, that anger has been tempered, not eliminated, but redirected.
Burr has openly admitted that becoming a father has made him a "better person," transforming him from an "angry person to a much calmer version of himself." He has spoken about adjusting to the "genuine joys of parenthood," a stark contrast to his on-stage persona that often rails against the mundane.
The 'Any Moron Can Keep a Kid Alive' Philosophy
Before his daughter was born, Burr often joked that he didn't feel "qualified" to be a dad. His comedic breakthrough moment, as he's described it, was the realization that "any moron can keep a kid alive." This self-deprecating, low-expectations philosophy is a cornerstone of his approach to parenting: do your best, keep them breathing, and don't overthink the impossible standards set by modern parenting culture.
His wife, Nia Renée Hill, a successful actress and producer in her own right, is often credited by Burr as the anchor of their family. He frequently praises her parenting skills, acknowledging her role in balancing his more chaotic energy.
The Comedy Goldmine: Parenting Jokes on the Monday Morning Podcast and Stand-up
While Bill Burr protects his children's identity, he is not shy about using the universal experience of parenting as rich material for his comedy. His family life has provided a fresh, relatable source of material for his stand-up specials and his long-running *Monday Morning Podcast*.
The Struggle with Sandcastles and Children's Theater
Recent segments on the *Monday Morning Podcast* in 2025 demonstrate that his parenting struggles are still a central theme. He has ranted about destroying sandcastles, the years flying by too quickly, and the sheer terror of attending mandatory children's theater performances. These bits are classic Burr: taking a common, slightly annoying family event and blowing it up into a hilarious, relatable catastrophe.
His jokes often revolve around:
- The Exhaustion of Travel: The logistics of flying with young children and the inevitable judgment from childless passengers.
- The Battle of Wills: Stories about trying to reason with a strong-willed toddler, only to realize he’s arguing with a tiny, irrational version of himself.
- The 'Hell of Other Parents': Though he loves his own kids, he continues to mine comedy from the overly enthusiastic, competitive, or annoying behavior of other parents.
In his special *Paper Tiger*, and subsequent material, he has a popular routine about the difficulty of raising a kid in the modern era, often concluding with a sensible, yet brutally simple plan on how to raise a kid—a plan that is, of course, delivered with his signature comedic cynicism.
Bill Burr's family life is a fascinating paradox. He is a comedian whose brand is built on raw, uncensored anger, yet his private life is anchored by a deep commitment to his wife and two young children, Lola and his son. The kids remain mostly out of the public eye, but their influence is clear: they have given the comedian a new perspective, a fresh set of material, and a genuine softening of his notoriously hard edges. As his children grow, fans can expect the comedy goldmine of fatherhood to continue fueling one of the greatest stand-up careers in the world.
