Bill Murray’s Children: What Is Publicly Known About His Six Sons
Bill Murray has six sons from two former marriages. That number is supported by public biographical reporting, and it is the useful starting point for searches about his children. There is no reason to turn a family overview into a list of private locations, social-media profiles or unverified stories about relatives who do not seek publicity.

How many children does Bill Murray have?
Murray's six sons are Homer, Luke, Caleb, Jackson, Cooper and Lincoln. Public biographies identify Homer and Luke as children from his marriage to Margaret Kelly. Caleb, Jackson, Cooper and Lincoln are from his subsequent marriage to Jennifer Butler. Readers sometimes encounter the names in a different order, but that does not mean there are different children; it usually reflects whether an article groups the sons by mother or by age.
Two marriages and a blended family timeline
Bill Murray married Margaret Kelly in 1981 and the marriage ended in divorce in 1996. He later married Jennifer Butler in 1997; they divorced in 2008. These are publicly documented relationship dates, not indicators of who currently speaks for the family or how frequently relatives see one another. Personal relationships evolve privately, and old entertainment interviews are not a reliable way to infer a present-day family disagreement.
What is known about his sons' careers?
A few of Murray's children have appeared in public reporting about professional work, including sports and hospitality, but the extent of their public involvement differs. It would be misleading to imply that all six are actors because their father works in Hollywood. A career profile of one adult child is a separate subject from a general headcount, and an uncertain job title should not be presented as a confirmed current position.
Why privacy still matters
Being the relative of a public figure does not make an ordinary person's contact information, address or family schedule newsworthy. This article intentionally focuses on names and relationships that have already been publicly documented. Readers looking for Bill Murray's career, or for his brother Brian Doyle-Murray, will find different information in those dedicated pages.
