See Grace Jones' Only Son, Who's A Model And Musician - Best Life

Jamaican-born Grace Jones began her modeling career when she was just 13 years old and became a full-fledged star in the ’70s as she made her name in music as well. The striking celebrity, now 73, was a visible part of New York’s raucous Studio 54 nightclub scene, hobnobbing with a who’s who of famous actors, musicians, and models. In addition to releasing famous pop songs like “Nightclubbing” and “Slave to the Rhythm,” Jones acted in several films, from B movies to the Bond flick, A View to a Kill, as villain May Day. But while you may be familiar with her work—and her unique personal style—you may not know that Jones has a 42-year-old son named Paulo Goude who’s following in her modeling and music footsteps. Read on to find out more about Jones’ only child.

Paulo’s father is Jones’ long-time collaborator.

As a child, Paulo grew up mostly in New York City and Paris, speaking both French and English. He spent his last two years of high school in the U.K. All the while, he was interested in music, learning piano, and composing digitally. After graduation, he joined his mother back in New York, where he began to pursue modeling and music professionally. He booked some modeling jobs right away, including runway shows, but the gigs started to dry up after the Sept. 11 attacks.

“But then, there was 9/11, and after that, there was, like, nothing. Nothing! All these contacts I made were, like, all of a sudden had never existed. The country changed overnight,” he said in a 2009 interview on a Grace Jones website. 

In more recent years, Paulo has returned to modeling and often shares photos from shoots to his Instagram.
