Before she reported to prison, she and Vili had conceived their first child. She welcomed daughter Audrey Lokelani Fualaau on May 23, 1997. She became pregnant for a second time and welcomed daughter Georgia on Oct. 16, 1998, while she was in prison.
Following her release from prison in 2004, Vili and Letourneau married on May 21, 2005. They remained married for 12 years before Vilifiled for separation, which was later granted in August 2019. On July 7, 2020, Letourneaudied from cancerat 58 years old.
Vili has since moved on andwelcomed his third daughter, Sophia, in May 2022.
From their views on their parents’ relationship to their personal lives, here’s everything to know about Vili Fualaau’s children.
Audrey was conceived before Letourneau's arrest
Letourneau began sexually abusing Vili just days shy of his 13th birthday, tellingOprah Winfreythat she considered Vili to be "the love of my life."
Though Vili said after her arrest that they had planned the pregnancy, Letourneau denied it but added she was “not angry” when she learned she was expecting.
Audrey was born in May 1997, and three months later, her mom pleaded guilty to two counts of child rape.
Georgia was born during Letourneau's prison sentence
The judge presiding over Letourneau’s case sentenced her to seven and a half years in prison, but suspended all but six months if she agreed to enter a treatment program for sex offenders and took prescription medication for bipolar disorder. She also was to have no contact with Vili.
Letourneau was then released on Jan. 2, 1998. However, she told friends that she stopped taking her medication. Exactly a month later, Vili called Letourneau, and the two were found the next morning in her car.
She went back to jail for violating her parole and served a seven-year sentence. However, in the month she was out of prison, Letourneau became pregnant with Georgia, and the baby was born in jail in October of that year.
Vili later shared in a20/20interview withBarbara Waltersthat he struggled with depression for a long time, especially as he didn’t feel supported after having two kids while still a teenager.
"I'm surprised I'm still alive today," he said. "I went through a really dark time."
The couple told PEOPLE in 2006 that while Letourneau was in jail, Vili’s mom had custody of their daughters, and they were working on getting it back.
“We are grateful for all she’s done and we all worked really hard to stay focused on what’s best for the girls,” Letourneau said. “It’ll be nice to take the girls to Disneyland and not have to ask the state or notify Vili’s mom.”
They are accepting of their parents’ former relationship, even with the history of abuse
In 2018, when Audrey was 21 and Georgia was 19, they did an interview with Australia’sSunday Nightin which theyopened up about their parents’ relationshipand what it was like being raised by Vili and Letourneau.
“I think I understand it,” Audrey said. “It was surprising to people. It’s not really been brought to our attention, just because we grew up with it, so we’re adapted to it.”
The girls said that while Letourneau was the stricter parent while they were growing up — with Audrey adding that she “literally cut the padding out of my bra once” because of her rules on how to properly dress — Vili was more lenient.
“He definitely feels like a young dad now that I’m at that adult age to where I can go to a bar,” Audrey said. “He’s like a ‘friend dad.' ”

They struggled with their parents’ split
When Vili filed for separation from Letourneau in May 2017, his daughters struggled.
“They’re tryingnot to choose sides,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “They had two great parents who loved and supported them. So now they’re returning the love and support to both their dad and their mom.”
The source was close to Letourneau and said the girls were close to their dad but also had a solid relationship with their mother.
“They’re very good girls,” the source added. “They are wise beyond their years and they understand that relationships are a complex thing.”
Ultimately, while it was hard to see the family “fall apart,” the source noted that Audrey and Georgia were both “old enough” to understand what was happening and “know that they’re loved very much.”
Sophia was born in 2022
PEOPLE confirmed that Vili welcomed a third daughter, Sophia, two years after Letourneau’s death, in November 2022. Georgia announced the news on Instagram, which was seen by PEOPLE, with a photo of the newborn in the hospital.
"Hi Sophia, I'm your big sister! You're so beautiful, I can't wait to watch you grow. I'll be right here by your side no matter what ! I love you 💕," she captioned the photo.
Vili has chosen to keep the identity of Sophia’s mother and any other details about the baby girl private.
Georgia welcomed her first child in January 2024
Georgia and her longtime boyfriendwelcomed their first child, a baby boy, in January 2024.
The new momconfirmed her pregnancyto PEOPLE in September 2023. “I’m very excited to become a mother," she said. "I have an amazing mother to prepare me for these years to come.”
Georgia and her boyfriend, a delivery driver and aspiring boxer who prefers to remain private, had been dating for more than six years, and at one point, he even lived with her and Letourneau. While they had talked about marriage and plan on it, there was “no ring” yet, she said.
The couple's son is Vili's first grandchild. “I just know that he’s going to be the greatest grandfather ever," Georgia told PEOPLE ahead of giving birth.
Audrey welcomed her first child in 2025

The video featured clips of ultrasounds from 7 to 13 weeks of pregnancy. She wrote on the video, "I'mso excited! I can’t wait to find out if you’re a boy or girl. You’re so loved already baby."
She confirmed that theywelcomed their first baby together, son Elias Ulumailuma D. Porter, on May 30, 2025 — which also happens to be Audrey's birthday.
