  • Glover is known for his provocative song ‘This is America’ – which won Grammys for both song and record of the year – as well as acting in TV shows from Community to Atlanta, which he also created
  • He and Michelle White married while he was filming Mr and Mrs Smith, and they share kids Legend, Drake, and Donald Glover III; they’re a notoriously private couple

Donald Glover, formerly known as Childish Gambino, is dropping his moniker after over a decade. The 40-year-old told The New York Times in July that his sixth album, Bando Stone and the New World, released that month, was his last under the alias.

And more shifts may be coming. Fatherhood has influenced Glover’s decision to put out a more “grown-up” sound on his latest album: “I think grace is undervalued in the world. When I put my son on my shoulders, I feel deep joy. That’s real,” he told The New York Times. “No one on their deathbed is going to look back and say, ‘Thank God I avoided being cringe.’” Glover and his wife, Michelle White, have three sons: Legend, Drake, and Donald Glover III, per People.

Despite Glover’s global fame – including six albums and five Grammys – he and White maintain a low-key lifestyle. First seen together in Hawaii in January 2016, per E! News, they are focused on their family and privacy. “I don’t think life is real unless some things are just for you. Things that should not or cannot be shared,” Glover told Interview magazine in April 2022.
