Despite all his successes in Hollywood, including a star on the Walk of Fame, fatherhood appears to remain Johnson's most coveted role.
"Those kids are dynamos, each and every one of them, and they’re a lot of fun to be with," Johnson told Parade in 2023. "So I spend a lot of my time hanging out with my kids and laughing and them making fun of me."

Who are Don Johnson's children?
Jesse Wayne Johnson
Jesse Wayne Johnson is Don Johnson's eldest son, whom he shares with former partner Patti D'Arbanville. His son's birth on Dec. 7, 1982 was a transformative moment for Johnson, who had struggled with drug and alcohol addiction.
Johnson spent most of his childhood in Aspen, Colo., developing an affinity for cold-weather activities like ice hockey and snowboarding, he told Top Cat Films in 2009. He also played in a band (and shared a memory of him jamming out at a high school party) and made a small appearance in his father's show, Nash Bridges, as a teen.
It's hitting all the right notes with Dad.

Dakota Johnson recently appeared in a photo to celebrate her father's 75th birthday, so it seems the two are on good terms.
"I feel like I grew up in the circus. I know planes, trains and automobiles. And really talented, weird people," Dakota spilled in a 2015 Another Magazine interview.
"We have a rule in the family that, you know, if you stay in school, you get to stay on the payroll. So, you go to college, you get to stay on the payroll," Don dished on Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2021.
"She does a darn good job at managing her world. I am so proud of her I could burst," her father gushed to Parade.
Don Johnson has three sons: Jesse with former model Patti D'Arbanville and Jasper and Deacon with his current wife, Kelley Phleger.
