Meet Majid Michel’s Children: Zara Michel and Kiera Michel

Majid Michel is a renowned Ghanaian actor, model, television personality, evangelist, and humanitarian of Lebanese-Ghanaian descent.

He was born on September 22, 1980, in Cantonments, a suburb of Accra, Ghana. He is 45 years old.

Michel grew up in Accra as one of ten children (the youngest), which includes Isabella Michel, Sputnic Michel, Aro Michel, Roberta Michel, Juliette Michel, Isaac Michel, Michael Michel, Reggie Michel, Georgette Michel, Shawki Michel, with a Lebanese father, Michael Michel-Erawoc (a businessman), and a Ghanaian mother, Paulina Olympio.

This mixed heritage shaped his early life in a large family. He attended St. Theresa’s Primary School and later Mfantsipim School, where he excelled in theatre and drama, earning a Best Actor award for a school performance.

A born-again evangelical Christian, Michel has embraced ministry, describing his faith as deeply personal, and has performed humanitarian work. Michel has been married to Virna Michel since 2005, and they renewed their vows in 2015.

He credits his wife for much of his success and has stated he dated only one woman before marriage, with no known public dating history or infidelity. The couple has three children, including daughters Kiera Michel (known from a childhood advertisement) and Zara Michel.

Michel stands approximately 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm) tall. He maintains a private family life while balancing his acting career and pastoral calling.

Kiera Michel

Kiera Michel is the eldest daughter of Majid Michel and his wife, Virna. She gained early public recognition as a child when she featured in the iconic Gino family-themed advertisement, which became a beloved and nostalgic commercial in Ghana.

Often referred to as the “little girl from the Gino advert,” Kiera captured hearts with her adorable performance, making her one of the most recognizable celebrity children at the time.

Over the years, Kiera has grown into a poised young woman. In recent appearances, such as a family outing in June 2025 to celebrate a grandmother’s 90th birthday, she was spotted alongside her father and sister, drawing praise for her maturity and elegance.

Fans have expressed nostalgia over her transformation from the charming child star to a graceful adult. Her parents have largely shielded her from the spotlight, allowing her to enjoy a relatively private life despite her early fame.

Zara Michel

Zara Michel is the younger daughter of Majid Michel (specifically noted as the younger sister to Kiera in various family sightings). She is the second-born among the publicly known daughters. Like her sister, Zara has been kept mostly out of the public eye, with the family prioritizing privacy.

Zara has appeared in rare family photos and videos, including the 2025 birthday celebration event, where she accompanied her father and Kiera. In these moments, she is often described as beaming with excitement and sharing joyful interactions with her sibling.

Earlier mentions from around 2014 described her as a young child, highlighting the family’s warmth. Though less in the spotlight than Kiera due to the latter’s ad fame, Zara remains an integral part of the Michel household, cherished by her parents and admired by fans who catch glimpses of the family’s life.

Majid Michel has spoken fondly of his family in interviews, crediting his wife and children for grounding him amid his busy career.

While he has three children overall (with some sources noting additional siblings whose details remain private), Kiera and Zara represent the daughters most associated with his public image. Their occasional appearances remind fans of the actor’s role as a loving father beyond the screen.
