Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha
Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha is the firstborn child of Kerry Washington and Nnamdi Asomugha, which makes her Kerry’s elder daughter.
She was born on April 21, 2014, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and she is 12 years old. Washington was 37 when she became a mother, and she welcomed Isabelle just as Scandal was wrapping its third season.
The name carries family meaning. Isabelle was named after her great-great-grandmother, while her middle name, Amarachi, is an Igbo name meaning “grace of God,” a nod to her father’s Nigerian heritage.
Washington has spoken warmly about her daughter, once describing her as a “teacher” on Oprah Winfrey’s SuperSoul podcast, and she has shared that she brought baby Isabelle to work with her in 2015.
Isabelle is the big sister to Caleb Kelechi Asomugha and the younger half-sister of her father’s eldest daughter. Her parents keep her out of the spotlight, so details about her school life and interests remain private.
Caleb Kelechi Asomugha
Caleb Kelechi Asomugha is the second child and only son of Kerry Washington and Nnamdi Asomugha. He was born on October 5, 2016, about two and a half years after his sister, and he is 9 years old. To Washington, he is her youngest child and her only son.
His middle name, Kelechi, is also Igbo and means “thank God,” continuing the family’s tradition of pairing English first names with Igbo middle names. Washington has said that welcoming Caleb renewed her appreciation for following her own joy, and she has described the home she shares with her husband and children as a close and lively one.
Caleb grows up alongside his older sister Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha and his half-sister from his father’s earlier relationship. As with Isabelle, his parents have deliberately kept him away from cameras and social media, giving both children as normal an upbringing as possible.
