Former Growing Pains star, Kirk Cameron, recently made headlines for his controversial rant against schools and atheists.
During an appearance in Elizabeth Johnston’s podcast, Kirk argued against sending children to public schools, claiming they’re “Marxists” and “woke.”
“If we outsource our parenting because it’s easier…we’re gonna have little kids that come back as little Marxists, little statists, little atheists, drag queens, strippers, drug dealers, and you name it,” he said.
Kirk’s remarks were met with fierce backlash online, with some commenters calling the television host a “moron” and “disappointment.” On the other hand, those who share Kirk’s views thank the actor for “helping our children.”
Setting aside his polarizing parenting and education convictions, Kirk is himself a father of six children, including today’s star, Olivia Rose Cameron. Here’s everything you should know about Mike Seaver’s real-life daughter.

Early Life and Education
Despite being the daughter of two popular actors, Olivia Rose spent most of her childhood away from the limelight. Growing up in a conservative Christian family, her parents, Kirk and Chelsea, have strong convictions about parenting, departing from Hollywood norms.
They wanted their kids to adopt Christian values, so they opted to homeschool all six of them. Four of their kids were adopted, reflecting the couple’s commitment to charity.
“It really is exciting because these are the years that you plant those seeds like in a garden…You see who they’re going to become,” the actor said in an interview.

Olivia Rose grew up in a large, but close-knit family. She’s the fifth of six children, and the first biological child of Kirk and Chelsea.
She has one biological brother, James, but is particularly close with his older adoptive brother, Luke. Only a year and a half younger, Olivia Rose and Luke graduated high school the same year, although they attended different schools.
The siblings were so close growing up that when Luke moved to Nashville, he said that one of its biggest perks was being closer to her sister, Olivia, who lives in Tennessee.
Naturally, Olivia shared her parents’ faith, frequently posting about her love and appreciation of God on Instagram. She also loves nature and adventure, as seen by her many snapshots in the great outdoors.
Career History
Olivia Rose got her good looks from her mother, Chelsea (I’m sorry, Kirk, but it’s true). She got her gorgeous brown hair and olive eyes from her mom, and some would say her father’s charm. Unlike her parents, however, Olivia chose a totally different career path.

The 23-year-old star child is a poet, painter, and writer. She shares her stunning works on her Instagram handle, @livscanvas, showcasing minimalist line art and colored paintings. She also posts her poetries on @livswords.
Immediately after high school, Olivia Rose traveled to Italy to study art. She’s been in love with traveling since and has explored many countries, including Spain, Ireland, Switzerland, and the Napali Coast.
Kirk, for his part, is incredibly proud of Olivia Rose. “I couldn’t be more thankful for the beautiful woman you’ve become,” the actor wrote on Instagram on Olivia’s birthday.
“If I could describe the beauty of a sunrise or the feeling of praise that wells up in my heart when I see wildflowers bursting with color on a hillside, I might be able to communicate the gratitude I feel for having you as my daughter.”
