The 43-year-old shares Heaven and son Hendrix, 15, with ex-wife Torrei Hart, and Kaori, 2, and Kenzo, 5, with wife Eniko Hart. When his oldest decided to make plans to go to college out of state, her dad had some trouble dealing with it. Hart told Ellen DeGeneres in February 2022, "I've been trying to manipulate her like, 'Maybe you need a place here in L.A. cause the schools here are just better,' " he joked at the time. "She's talking about New York." He admitted that it was hard to let her go. "I love that she's growing up, that's my best friend, my heart. And it's a little emotional. I see myself realizing that that time is coming for her to leave the house and I don't like it," he confessed. The Ride Along star also noted that his daughter is so much like him. "She is me, she is exactly who I am!"
The comedian said that he shares a special bond with Heaven. In fact that even share the same sense of humor. "My daughter [Heaven] makes me laugh daily, because she thinks she's ultra cool. She'll text and call me 'G', and 'Old raggedy back Jack' because I hurt my back. That always makes me laugh," Hart told PEOPLE in August 2022.

The relationship did hit a speedbump when The Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle actor cheated on his wife when she was eight months pregnant with their son Kenzo. On an episode of Red Table Talk he opened up about his daughter's reaction to his cheating scandal, per PEOPLE. "It's very hard to bother me, but when your child shows disappointment, shows emotion, shows 'I don't understand why,' and you've gotta have those conversations, well, now the head drops for the first time," he said. "And now you've realized that there's a different emotional chord that can be pulled on you that nobody else has the privilege of ever touching." Hart admitted that his daughter's reaction really affected him as he continued. "And my daughter touched on that chord, man, you know, when me and my wife went through what we went through, and the whole cheating display ... my talk with Heaven. Goddamn. Goddamn, that was one like no other. Getting my daughter back. Getting my daughter to understand that I was sorry, that I made a mistake. … That was real," he recalled.
