From Hollywood To Wall Street: Where Are Rob Lowe's Two Sons, Matthew And John Owen, Now In 2025?
As of late 2025, the lives of Rob Lowe’s two sons, Matthew Edward Lowe and John Owen Lowe, are a compelling mix of Hollywood success and high-profile professional careers that extend far beyond the silver screen. While one son has fully embraced the family's acting and writing legacy, co-creating and starring in a hit Netflix series with his famous father, the other has carved out an impressive path in the world of finance and law, proving that the next generation of Lowes is anything but 'unstable' in their ambitions. This deep dive explores the current, updated status of both Matthew and John Owen, detailing their recent projects, personal milestones, and the unique, humorous family dynamic that has captivated fans for years.
The legendary actor, a former "Brat Pack" icon and star of hits like The West Wing and 9-1-1: Lone Star, often credits his wife, Sheryl Berkoff, and his sons as the core of his life, especially after achieving sobriety. Today, the Lowe family’s story is less about avoiding the spotlight and more about embracing it on their own terms, whether through a hit comedy series or their famously playful social media "trolling" that keeps their millions of followers entertained.

Matthew Lowe: The Attorney and Venture Capitalist Who Chose Finance
Matthew Edward Lowe, the oldest son, has consistently demonstrated that the family’s talent for success is not limited to acting. While he possesses the classic Lowe good looks, Matthew chose a path rooted in academia and business.
After graduating from Duke University, Matthew pursued and successfully completed a law degree from Loyola Law School, making him a qualified attorney. However, his professional focus has landed him firmly in the world of finance, specifically as a venture capitalist. This career choice is a significant departure from the Hollywood life his father and younger brother lead, a fact that Rob Lowe has spoken about with evident pride.
Matthew's current life in 2025 includes a major personal milestone: his recent engagement. This news has led to a humorous public dynamic, as Rob Lowe has openly admitted to "pressuring" Matthew for grandchildren, a sentiment the actor isn't sure he wants to be called "Grandpa" for. This playful back-and-forth is a hallmark of the Lowe family's public persona, showcasing a deeply loving but irreverent relationship.
While Matthew has largely avoided the acting spotlight, he did share an intimate look at his family’s bond in the 2017 A&E reality series, The Lowe Files. The show followed Rob, Matthew, and John Owen as they traveled the country investigating infamous unsolved mysteries and paranormal phenomena, highlighting the strong, adventurous connection between the three.
John Owen Lowe: The Hollywood Content Creator and 'Unstable' Breakout Star
John Owen Lowe, the younger son, has fully embraced the entertainment industry, but with a modern twist. Following his father's advice to "just be a content creator," John Owen has quickly established himself as a talented writer, producer, and actor.
The 'Unstable' Phenomenon
John Owen's biggest success to date is the Netflix comedy series Unstable, which he co-created, co-wrote, and co-executive produced alongside his father and Victor Fresco. The series, which has been renewed for Season 2, is a direct reflection of the hilarious, real-life dynamic between the father and son.
The premise of Unstable, which stars Rob Lowe as an eccentric biotech CEO and John Owen as his more grounded, socially awkward son, was inspired by John Owen’s famous habit of humorously "trolling" his father on social media. This constant, playful ribbing—where John Owen often calls his father a "complete idiot in the best way"—became the core concept for the show, turning a family joke into a global streaming hit.
This success has solidified John Owen's position as a Hollywood creative force. In a recent update, Rob Lowe shared that John Owen has already sold a brand new show to Apple TV+, cementing his future as a major writer and producer in the industry.
The Heart of the Lowe Family: Sobriety, Sheryl Berkoff, and the Montecito Life
A major, fresh entity relevant to the Lowe family's stability and the success of their sons is the unwavering presence of Sheryl Berkoff. Rob Lowe has been candid about his journey to sobriety, which began in the early 1990s, and credits Sheryl for "saving" him from the "wild boy craziness" of his past. Their long-lasting marriage—over three decades—provided the stable foundation for Matthew and John Owen to thrive.
The family's move to Montecito, California, a picturesque, affluent community near Santa Barbara, was a deliberate choice to prioritize family life away from the intense media scrutiny of Los Angeles. This environment allowed Matthew and John Owen to develop their own identities, with Matthew pursuing law and finance and John Owen cultivating his writing and comedy skills, often using his father as his muse.
The sons' careers, though vastly different, are both a testament to the family's strong bond. Matthew's grounded, professional life in finance balances John Owen's creative, Hollywood-centric career, providing a unique dual narrative that keeps the public continually fascinated by the Lowe family. Whether it’s through the humorous lens of Unstable or the more serious discussions of family legacy and sobriety, the latest updates from 2025 confirm that Rob Lowe’s kids are not just living off their father’s name—they are building two powerful legacies of their own.
