Vin Diesel made a proud father figure at the premiere of The Bluff in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, accompanied by his eldest daughter, Hania Riley Sinclair. The 17-year-old turned heads in a glittering floor-length black gown, paired with open-toed heels and a long coat, marking her first red carpet with her father in three years.
Hania, who previously walked the red carpet with her mother, Paloma Jiménez, and brother Vincent at the 2023 Breakthrough Prize Ceremony, has been largely out of the public eye. Her younger sister, Pauline, completes the family which Diesel shares with his long-term partner, Jiménez.
Both Hania and Vincent are making their own mark in the entertainment industry, following in their father's footsteps with roles in the Fast & Furious franchise. Hania voiced Sissy in the Netflix animated series Fast & Furious: Spy Racers, while Vincent played a younger Dominic Toretto in F9.
Diesel has spoken fondly of the bond his children share with the franchise, noting on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that his kids have grown up alongside the films. He also revealed Hania’s close friendship with Meadow Walker, daughter of the late Paul Walker, whom she served as maid of honour in 2021.
The actor remains deeply connected to his late co-star, sharing a heartfelt Instagram post on Hania’s 16th birthday last April, recalling advice Paul gave him before her birth. Diesel praised his daughter's wisdom, compassion, and kindness, expressing immense pride in the young woman she is becoming.
