How does Stephen Amell balance his roles as a father and in Hollywood?
Family always comes first for the Arrow star. Fatherhood “simplified everything,” according to Amell, who welcomed son Bowen in 2022 and daughter Maverick “Mavi” in 2013.
He said, “They’re my why.” “When you know who you’re working for, everything falls into place.”
What makes Mavi famous?
Not only is this 10-year-old Swiftie a fan, but she also controls her dad’s playlist. Amell made a joke on Instagram, saying, “We blast Taylor on repeat.”
Mavi is also an expert on the red carpet, stealing scenes at the premiere of The Little Mermaid and wearing green dresses at TMNT premieres. Extra?
She even assisted him in getting ready for his audition on Suits: LA!
Why were fans surprised by Bowen’s birth?
Until a family vacation to London in 2022, Stephen and his wife Cassandra Jean kept their son’s arrival a secret.
With pictures of their “successful” first trip together as a quartet, Cassandra teased, “This boy is all adventure.”
Since then, Bowen has developed into a hockey fan who wears L.A. Kings jerseys to represent his team and a FaceTime prankster who hangs up on Dad in the middle of a call.

Bowen enjoys arena snacks, while Mavi enjoys glittering premieres. However, what is their secret glue? Calm meets chaos. According to Stephen, “they are naturally adventurous.”
What will happen to Team Amell next?
Perhaps a Suits: LA cameo, more red carpets, and dad jokes? While Bowen is becoming an expert at toddler mischief, Mavi is already an expert at reading scripts.
There is no doubt that Stephen satisfies all of his “Canadian Dad prerequisites” (see: hockey games, dad denim).
