Tommy Lee Jones is a family man at heart. While being one of the film industry’s most respectable names, the Oscar winner prioritizes his roles as a husband and a father to his two children, Victoria and Austin Jones. Tommy Lee is married to his current wife, Dawn Laurel-Jones, who is also involved in the movie business.
Unfortunately, the Jones family reportedly suffered a tragedy in January 2026. TMZ reported that Victoria had been found dead at the age of 34 in a San Francisco, California, hotel. Victoria had worked with her father and stepmother, Dawn, on the film The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.

During a 2006 interview with Texas Monthly, Tommy Lee discussed his and his wife’s life on their cattle ranch in Texas.
“The gates are locked. We keep it shut down,” he said at the time. “Just friends and family, no outsiders. Just how I like it. … In the summers, we’ll work cattle, and then at about seven o’clock at night, we’ll start playing polo. We’ll play until about nine, and then when we’re done, we put the meat on the fire and watch the dark come. It’s a good life. Everyone is happy.”
Kimberlea Cloughley (Second Wife)
