John towered over his 5ft 7in daughter in blue jeans, sandals and a comfortable blue sweater.
Missing from the action were Emily’s three-year-old son, Sylvester, and his mother, Kathleen Balgley.
John is a professional artist based in California with sculptures and paintings in dozens of galleries throughout the United States and Europe.
Meanwhile, Kathleen, who is from Poland, is a tenured university professor (she had previously taught at UCLA and UCSD) and a published author.
Although Emily was born in London, she grew up in Encinitas, a coastal city near San Diego, California. She is the only child of John and Kathleen.
Emily, who signed with Ford Models at age 14, had the full support of her parents as she pursued modeling.
After finding fame as the vixen in Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines music video in 2013, Emily has fronted major fashion campaigns for Versace and Victoria’s Secret.
Since then, he dedicated himself to acting and even published a memoir in 2021.
In an interview with Worship In 2023, both Emily and John spoke about her upbringing and how she herself was destined to be an artist.

“I mean… your mom is a writer and I’m a visual artist,” he told Emily. ‘So it was an obvious step for me when you moved into acting.
‘I knew that everything you did was going to be related to art. “That’s just who we are.”
John shared his approach to parenting and how he encouraged Emily to explore her own creativity while growing up.
‘My feeling about life, in general, is to do things first and talk about them later, you know?’ He explained. ‘In raising you, I wanted to bring everything to light. Ideas, materials, questions and I’ll leave you alone.
‘Then I would tell you what I thought was good and what you could do better. “You always found your way through your art and your career,” John said.
In the same interview, Emily talked about growing up in the house her father built in San Diego, as well as the properties he owned and restored in Ireland and Spain.
—You built our house in San Diego and worked on the one in Ireland, which was quite dilapidated. I remember summers in Spain helping you restore that place too. You learned a local rock-building technique to make the patio,” he recalled.
She recalled how she and her father would scavenge objects for him to turn into art and how he often involved her in his creative process as a child.
Emily is the only child of John and his wife Kathleen Balgley.

“Building and making is your way of being close to the people you love,” Emily said.

She told her fans that the main reason I’m sharing that I did this is because I’ve seen a lot of comments associating divorce with failure and shame. And, both personally and politically, I fundamentally disagree with this.’
“I think historically, the shame surrounding divorce is, at least in part, what has kept women in unfair, unhappy, and sometimes even abusive marriages,” she said.
“Finding the resources and strength to leave a relationship is often a very brave and remarkable act,” she said.
“I’m not trying to point out that everyone needs to get a divorce ring or turn their wedding dress into a mini dress or any symbolic gesture for evolution, but I do think that single mothers and women who are starting over first time “Time in a terrifying way should find solace in the fact that they are not failures about to leave.”
