Hilarie Burton Morgan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s latest family red carpet outing has Us doing a double take — because their kids have grown up before our very eyes.
Burton Morgan, 42, and Morgan, 59, stepped out with son Gus, 14, and daughter George, 5, at the Canneseries International Festival on Friday, April 25, in support of his show The Walking Dead.
Morgan looked dapper in a black suit, which perfectly matched Gus’ ensemble. Burton Morgan, meanwhile, stunned in a strapless blue gown while George wore a floral sundress and carried a sparkly, golden purse. The family of four was all smiles on the red carpet, with Gus especially towering over his parents.
Earlier that day, Gus and George joined the actors at a photocall for The Walking Dead, in which they all dressed casually.

The One Tree Hill alum and Morgan have been together since 2009, getting married in October 2019 after welcoming their two children.
“Jeffrey and I weren’t made for dating. He was the man I was gonna get old and boring with. Instead of late nights out at clubs or wining and dining, at night we’d settle in and watch an episode of Lonesome Dove,” Burton Morgan reflected of their romantic beginnings in her 2020 memoir, The Rural Diaries. “We decided that when we had a kid, we’d name him Gus after Robert DuVall’s character. As the credits rolled, Jeffrey turned to me and asked, ‘Do you just want to do this? Do you want to try and have a family?’ We’d known each other less than a month.”
Burton Morgan and the Grey’s Anatomy alum navigated fertility struggles after welcoming Gus, which the mother of two has said impacted their relationship.

“I did have postpartum with my son. I didn’t know I did because I was in the fog of it, but I wasn’t fun to be around, and I was severely depressed after I had my first miscarriage,” Burton Morgan exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2020. “I can look at it now and see how self-destructive I was. … Until you go through that first really horrible thing together, you don’t know how your partner is going to react. You don’t know what they need.”
She added, “I needed to slam doors and cry really hard and howl. He has been so supportive. He was so generous with his own privacy in allowing me to put this out there. Because it isn’t just me, it’s our story. And I can’t thank him enough for letting me process in this way. … The gift that he’s given me is being able to put this out there and invade his personal bubble. He’s a good man.”
