The legacy of 'Brat Pack' icon Rob Lowe is not just continuing in Hollywood, but is branching out into the worlds of high finance and television writing, thanks to his two accomplished sons, Matthew Edward Lowe and John Owen Lowe. As of late December 2025, both sons are carving out distinct, successful paths while maintaining a hilariously public, yet deeply loving, relationship with their famous father, which has become a source of viral content and a hit streaming series. Their dual success stories—one in front of the camera, one in the boardroom—offer a fascinating look at life growing up with a Hollywood legend.

The brothers, often praised for their good looks and sharp wit, have stepped out of their father’s shadow by embracing their own unique talents. While John Owen has fully committed to the entertainment industry, co-creating and starring in a major Netflix comedy, Matthew has taken a completely different, high-powered route as an attorney and venture capitalist, proving that the Lowe family's talents are anything but one-dimensional.

John Owen Lowe: The Writer and Star of Netflix's 'Unstable'

The younger of the two brothers, John Owen Lowe, has fully embraced the Hollywood path, but with a modern twist. He is currently the most visible, riding high on the success of the Netflix series *Unstable*. This comedy series, which he co-created with his father, features the two playing a fictionalized, yet highly resonant, version of their own father-son dynamic.

The show’s premise—a shy, introverted son (John Owen) having to work for his eccentric, larger-than-life biotech mogul father (Rob Lowe)—was directly inspired by John Owen’s famous habit of hilariously trolling his dad on social media. This natural, comedic chemistry translated perfectly to the screen, making *Unstable* a major streaming hit for the platform.

John Owen’s career trajectory is particularly interesting because it was initially guided by his father's unique advice. Instead of pursuing traditional acting roles, Rob Lowe advised his son to first become a content creator, leveraging his natural talent for writing and his social media presence. This path allowed John Owen to develop his own voice and ultimately sell his own show concept, proving his talent as a writer and producer before becoming a full-fledged star.

Beyond *Unstable*, John Owen has also worked behind the scenes. He has writing credits on his father’s other hit series, *9-1-1: Lone Star*, further establishing himself as a versatile force in the industry. His success is a strong example of how the new generation of Hollywood talent is using digital platforms to launch major traditional careers.

Matthew Edward Lowe: From Reality TV to Venture Capital

Matthew Edward Lowe, the eldest son, chose a path that veered sharply away from the spotlight, yet his professional life is no less high-powered. After earning his undergraduate degree from Duke University, Matthew went on to receive a Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Loyola Law School, establishing a foundation in law.

Today, Matthew is a successful attorney and a venture capitalist working in the world of high finance. He is the founder of LH Capital, which manages the family office for the Lowe and Hermes families. This role involves strategic investment and wealth management, placing him firmly in the world of business rather than show business.

Despite his serious career, Matthew has dipped his toe into the world of entertainment. He famously starred alongside his father and brother in the 2017 A&E reality series, *The Lowe Files*. The show followed the trio as they traveled across the country investigating various unsolved mysteries and paranormal phenomena. His appearance showcased a more grounded, skeptical personality, often serving as the perfect foil to his father's enthusiasm and his brother's comedic antics.

Matthew's current focus remains on his finance career. However, he is a frequent and beloved fixture on Rob Lowe’s social media, often joining John Owen in good-naturedly mocking their dad's more earnest Instagram posts. The family dynamic is clearly one of close bonds and mutual respect, despite the playful public teasing.

The Impact of the Lowe Family Dynamic and Topical Authority

The relationship between Rob Lowe and his sons has become a point of topical authority in discussions about celebrity parenting and family life. The actor has been open about his sobriety journey and credited the birth of Matthew as a major inspiration for moving out of Los Angeles to raise his family in a more grounded environment.

The sons’ success is often attributed to the strong, supportive, and yet highly humorous environment their parents created. Both Matthew and John Owen attended top-tier universities—Duke and Stanford, respectively—demonstrating a commitment to education that transcended the glamour of Hollywood.

The current buzz around the family centers on the second season of *Unstable* and Rob Lowe’s public desire for grandchildren. The actor has admitted to "pressuring" Matthew, the older son, to start a family, a common and relatable paternal urge that keeps the family in the news cycle and highlights their ongoing, evolving relationship.

Ultimately, both Matthew Edward Lowe and John Owen Lowe have successfully navigated the challenges of growing up with a famous father by forging careers that play to their individual strengths. Whether it’s through the complex deals of LH Capital or the creative comedy of a hit Netflix show, the Lowe sons have proven that their talents and ambitions are entirely their own.
