Vili Fualaau, 41, Expecting 2nd Grandchild 4 Years After Mary Kay Letourneau’s Death
Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors
Vili Fualaau, the former husband of late sex offender Mary Kay Letourneau, is expecting his second grandchild.
The exes’ eldest daughter, Audrey, announced she is welcoming her first child with her fiancé, Ethan Tela Porter. Audrey, 27, revealed the news on TikTok earlier this week and shared a new update on December 12 showcasing her sonogram. “I’m so excited! I can’t wait to find out if you’re a boy or girl,” she captioned the video. “You’re so loved already baby.”
Audrey’s baby announcement comes several months after Fualaau, 41, first became a grandfather in January, after his and Letourneau’s youngest child, 25-year-old Georgia gave birth to a baby boy.
Vili Fualaau appears in court in SeaTac, Washington April 3, 2006 for a hearing to determine if he is to stand trial on a drunken driving charge. The judge set a trial date for April 26 for Fualaa, the husband of Mary Kay Letourneau, his former sixth grade teacher who was convicted of child rape for having sex with Fualaau. Fualaau is going to have a second grandchild.

Eight months after Georgia’s son was born, Audrey shared some snaps of her sister’s pregnancy journey in an Instagram post from August. “It’s a BOY,” the proud aunt wrote. “Words cannot explain how excited I am for my little sister to have this baby boy.”
“You’re going to be such an amazing mom!” the new aunt added in the caption. “Can’t wait to help raise the little cutie pie.”
Letourneau, who also shared four kids with her first husband, Steve, was notoriously convicted of two counts of felony second-degree rape of a child in 1997, giving birth to her and Fualaau’s first daughter, Audrey, later that year. Letourneau, who was Fualaau’s sixth-grade teacher at the time, began raping him when he was 12.
While she was initially sentenced to six months in jail and three years of sex offender treatment, she also broke her plea agreement by being caught with Fualaau again in February 1998. Letourneau was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison and gave birth to Georgia in October 1998.
The two got married in 2005 before divorcing in 2019. Letourneau died a year later from colon cancer. She was 58 years old.
Fualaau and Letourneau’s relationship made headlines again following the release of Netflix‘s 2023 film, May December. Julianne Moore and Charles Melton played a fictitious married couple with a significant age gap, and the movie pulled significantly from the ’90s case.
Fualaau shared his thoughts about it in January 2024 with The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m still alive and well,” Fualaau said. “If they had reached out to me, we could have worked together on a masterpiece. Instead, they chose to do a ripoff of my original story.”
He added, “I’m offended by the entire project and the lack of respect given to me — who lived through a real story and is still living it.”
