Diesel has often spoken about how proud he is of his children and the special moments they share.

“My pride in my kids is through the roof,” Diesel told PEOPLE in 2017. “Oh my God, I’m proud of them all the time.”

“The last time was when Pauline said, ‘Merry Christmas, everyone, from the Diesels,’ and she put it all together in one sentence,” he added. 

“It was a big moment.” In the same interview, Diesel also shared that his children often make him emotional. “My kids move me to tears all the time,” he shared.

“My daughter Similce said to me a couple of weeks ago, ‘Daddy, I know what song should at every funeral.’ I said, ‘What is it?’ And she said, ‘See You Again.’ That was not fair.”

Diesel also recalled a sweet moment with his children while talking about the 'XXX: Return of Xander Cage' trailer in 2017. He said he was pulling them in a golf cart when his son watched the trailer and reacted to it.

“They were watching the (XXX: Return of Xander Cage) trailer. At the end of it, my son goes, ‘That’s going to be a giant hit,’ ” the actor recalled. “I stopped in the middle of traffic and had to kiss him on both cheeks. Just to let the universe know I had heard.”
