UPDATED 3/3/2023 Regis Philbin was best-known for his most famous hosting gigs, such as Live! With Regis & Kelly and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?. Beyond all that, though, he was definitely most proud of being a father to his four children, who are now all grown up. Sadly, on July 24, 2020, Regis passed away at the age of 88, and his kids go to great lengths to honor his memory. So, let's see how each is doing today, while also revisiting when Regis first became a dad when he welcomed his first child in 1961. These days, his kids (who will truly always be his 'kids') are full-fledged adults. Some of them have followed in their famous father's footsteps, others have taken on different professions. Take a look and see what Regis's kids are up to all grown up! 1.
