Michael Copon, now 42, has spent more than two decades in the spotlight—but in a recent Instagram moment, the actor set aside stunt sequences to honor his proudest role yet: dad. On June 12, Copon shared a simple caption—”My kids are my world. I love being a father it’s been my greatest gift.”—accompanied by candid family snapshots. Across three images, the actor cradles his newborn daughter, Zoe Rae, and plays with his son, Malachi, underscoring that parenthood eclipses any on-screen achievement.

A Star On Screen, A Dad At Heart
Born Aug. 13, 1982, in Chesapeake, Virginia, Copon moved to Los Angeles at 17 after being discovered by a talent scout at a beach carnival. He first won fame as Lucas Kendall, the no-nonsense Blue Ranger on Power Rangers Time Force in 2001. Since then, his résumé has included guest spots on One Tree Hill, roles in Tyler Perry’s House of Payne and leading parts in action thrillers such as Death Do Us Part and The Scorpion King: Book of Souls. Of Cuban and Irish descent, he has also embraced modelling and producing, and remains a regular host at fan conventions. Yet no accolade—no matter how thrilling—rivals his favorite title: daddy.
Family Milestones
Fatherhood entered Copon’s life with the arrival of son Malachi in 2019, whose boundless energy and love for action figures turned backyard play into mini training camps. On May 23, 2025, Copon and his partner welcomed their second child, daughter Zoe Rae Copon, born at 3:03 p.m. weighing 5 lbs 12 oz. In an Instagram announcement, they wrote: “We prayed for this baby girl and in God’s perfect timing, He gave us life (Zoe) and light (Rae). She’s everything we hoped for and more than we ever knew to ask.” He added, “Big brother Malachi is already in love with his baby sister, though still adjusting to sharing.” Fan reactions poured in, including heartfelt notes from Time Force co-stars.

Moments Of Joy
The latest upload captures the small wonders of daily life. In one frame, Copon lifts Zoe Rae high as she giggles under the summer sun. Another shows Malachi wrapped in his dad’s arms, his grin as big as any victory scene. A final shot finds Copon in aviator sunglasses, his children bright beaming by his side. The casual outfits—dad in a grey tee and jeans, kids in colorful playwear—underscore a sense of everyday authenticity. Within hours, the share amassed thousands of likes and dozens of supportive comments from fellow parents and long-time fans.
Balancing Act
Even with auditions, shoots and convention panels on his calendar, Copon commits to a strict work-life boundary. In a 2023 interview, he described evenings of bedtime stories and backyard games as “the moments that recharge my batteries.” He occasionally offers fitness tips on social media for parents juggling workouts with school drop-offs. This blend of on-set grit and family-centered downtime has become his signature move.
Simple yet powerful, Copon’s latest Instagram post underlines that, behind every action hero and heroic pose, there’s a father cherishing each milestone. From Blue Ranger Lucas to proud papa, he’s embracing the adventure of fatherhood—and inviting fans along for the ride.
