Like Father, Like Son: Rob Lowe, 61, and Johnny, 29, Show Off Gym Gains, Leaving Fans in Awe

In a delightful display of familial camaraderie, Rob Lowe and his son John “Johnny” Lowe recently shared a post-workout snapshot that captivated fans. The image, showcasing their impressive physiques and matching accessories, highlighted not only their dedication to fitness but also the strong bond they share.

Rob Lowe and his son John “Johnny” Lowe are redefining what it means to be fit at any age — and making it look effortless.

The 61-year-old actor recently shared a playful yet striking photo with his 29-year-old son on Instagram, showcasing their toned physiques and a shared sense of humor. Captured post-workout in what appears to be a home gym, the duo struck fierce poses in front of dumbbell racks, serving up serious muscle and even more personality.

Both men sported laid-back workout looks that added to the vibe. Rob went for athletic simplicity in gray shorts and bare feet, while Johnny brought a bit of flair with light-wash jeans, bright white sneakers laced with pink, and a vintage-style trucker hat. Each wore a single chain around his neck — a small but stylish detail that mirrored their father-son synchronicity.

Fans were quick to spot the matching tattoos too: Rob flaunted a bold ink design on his upper arm, while Johnny revealed a more subtle piece in the exact same spot. Their tousled hair hinted at a freshly finished lifting session — or maybe just the Lowe family’s naturally carefree charm.

“Lowe family tradition: self-indulgent shirtless gym photos,” Johnny joked in the caption, leaning into the fun with his usual self-awareness.

Comments rolled in with admiration and laughter. “Like father, like son!” was one of the comments. While Jeremy Piven called the post “Adorable!!!” Even Rob’s older son, 32-year-old Matthew Lowe, got in on the action, quipping, “Why does it look like you photoshopped your head on @johnnylowe.” And one person noted, “Some family traditions are meant to be shared with the general public. We thank you.”

Outside the gym and the spotlight, Rob Lowe is just as impressive. A dedicated father and husband, he’s been married to wife Sheryl Berkoff for over 31 years — a rare and inspiring feat in Hollywood. His commitment to family remains the foundation of everything he does, both on screen and off.

Rob Lowe first met his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, a makeup artist, on a blind date in 1983. Although it didn’t work out then, the pair later reconnected in 1990 on the set of the film Bad Influence. They finally hit it off, and by 1991, they were married.

Recently, during an episode of the podcast Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi, the actor opened up about the importance of finding the right person for you and his secrets to maintaining a healthy and lasting relationship.

To Lowe, marrying your best friend is essential. “[Marriage] is hard anywhere, it is not just Hollywood — it’s everywhere,” he began. “Sheryl was and is my best friend. So if you marry for anything other than the fact that she is your best friend, you’re at a disadvantage from the jump, because that will sustain when the other stuff ebbs and flows.”

But that’s not it, one of the secrets to keep the relationship going and growing is the ability to forgive, according to the Hollywood star. “People say marriage takes work. I’m not sure if it takes work, but what it does take is forgiveness, and being really cognizant of what hill you’re willing to die on,” he said.

Something else that’s critical for the survival of a relationship as time goes by is physical attraction and connection, according to the actor. “I do believe you need the heat for sure,” he admitted. “If you don’t have the heat — and that’s a chemical thing — I mean I still have it with Sheryl, you gotta keep the heat (...) That comes and goes too, there are times when you are like, ’Nah.’ And then there are times when you are wild for somebody.”

Lowe’s proud dad moment follows a sweet wave of celebrity parents sharing family highlights — from Justin Bieber designing a mini bathrobe for his baby son to Gwyneth Paltrow posting never-before-seen photos of her daughter Apple in honor of her 21st birthday.
