As Williams’ popularity in the entertainment industry grew, her kids could be seen by her side in red carpet interviews and other events. Devin, who’s the youngest of the three, was his mom’s date on several occasions, and he seemed like a shy, sweet boy.

Now, he’s all grown up, sporting a beard and showing off his toned abs on social media.
