Comedian andSeinfeldco-creatorLarry Davidis the proud dad of two adult daughters — Cazzie and Romy David.
Both of his daughters, whom he shares with ex-wife Laurie David, were born whileSeinfeldwas still on the air in the 1990s. Larry said the couple’s decision to divorce led to “the best situation” with his kids.
“The best part about [it] is that you get time off too … because the kids are with their mom, so it’s the best of both worlds,” hetoldRolling Stonein 2011. “There’s a lot to be said for it.”
TheCurb Your Enthusiasmcreator and star has a strong bond with his daughters — and isn’t afraid to make a joke at their expense.
“I have a wonderful relationship with my daughters. At least, I do on my end. I don’t know how they feel,” he previouslyjoked toThe Irish Independentin 2009.
From their sweet moments with their famous dad to their own careers, here’s everything to know about Larry David’s daughters, Cazzie and Romy.

Cazzie was born in Boston on May 10, 1994. Her New York Knicks fanatic dad drew some inspiration from the team when naming his firstborn, borrowing her moniker from NBA star Cazzie Russell.
“I was named after a basketball player on the Knicks,” she toldCoveteurin 2017. “My dad isthatmuch of a Knicks fan that he had to give me the craziest name ever.”
Romy followed two years later in March 1996

Romy was born two years after Cazzie on March 2, 1996.
On his relationship with his daughters, Larry said his downfall is saying “no” to the pair.
“I think about this a lot ― whether or not I’m a good father,” hetoldThe Guardianin 2010. “Sometimes I think I’m a terrible father. I don’t really have a spine. In my physical make-up ― you won’t find one in my X-ray. I have trouble saying no to people, so anything a kid would ask, I’ll just say yes to.”
Cazzie and Romy have both acted

Cazzie and Romy both followed in their father’s footsteps early on.
While Romy hasn’t acted since the episode, Cazzie played Jayme Hargreeves in season 3 of Netflix’sThe Umbrella Academyin 2022. She also created and co-starred in the web seriesEighty-Sixedin 2017.
Cazzie went to college in Boston and became an author

“I moved back into my dad’s house right after graduating from college and have been there for nearly two years,” she wrote. “When you move back home, you’re quickly reminded of all the pros and cons of your earlier life. (Pros: free food, no rent, and an overall feeling of safety. Cons: not being able to smoke weed where you want.)”
However, it wasn’t long before Cazzie continued her career in the entertainment industry. In addition toThe Umbrella Academy, Cazzie also released her best-selling collection of personal essays, cheekily titledNo One Asked For This, in 2020. During a virtual appearance onLate Night with Seth Meyers, Cazzie described the book as a reflection of “anxiety and oversharing.”
“It might be presumptuous for me to assume that anyone could take anything away [from it]. I hope they enjoy it or relate to it,” she explained to Meyers. “You know, we’re the most anxious generation of all time, and thanks to social media, we love to overshare, so I would say anxiety and oversharing kind of sums up my book. I hope people can connect to it because of that.”
Cazzie is also a columnist forAir Mail, writing personal essays on topics including social media trends, fast fashion and more.
Romy graduated from George Washington University and interned at the White House

In her essays, Cazzie has been candid about her family life, mental health and her highly-publicized relationship with formerSNLmemberPete Davidson. The couple dated for nearly two and a half years beforecalling it quitsin 2018.
“[She’s a] very talented girl,she’ll be greatand she’ll be fine,” Davidson said of Cazzie at the time of their split. “Yeah, I think she’ll be okay.”
However, the breakup was difficult for Cazzie, as she detailed in her book. The actress wrote that she broke up with Davidson after struggling to convince him that she really loved him,per theLos Angeles Times.
“Cazzie, come on! Your ancestors survived the Holocaust,” Larry reportedly said while consoling her, per theL.A. Times.

In aninterview withW Magazinein 2017, Cazzie shared that she and her father are alike.
“My sister and mom are very similar, and my dad and I are very similar. Both my parents are extremely neurotic in different ways,” she explained to the publication. “It was an interesting household, but nothing out of the ordinary.”
“It’s my favorite show; how embarrassing is that?” she said, adding, “I have to hide if I’m watching it when someone is coming over. It’s so weird if I’m watching it.”
Romy and Cazzie have a strong sibling bond

Romy and Cazzie are very close, though like many siblings, they occasionally squabble. Cazzie commented on their relationship during a 2022 appearance onLate Night with Seth Meyers,explaining that she normally stays with her sister when she visits N.Y.C.
“So, I’ve been staying with my sister anytime I come to New York. And, like, the level of fighting is just unbearable, and it’s about, like, the tiniest — this happened actually last night,” she told Meyers.
Cazzie continued, “I’m in her bedroom, right? We’re, like, getting ready to go to sleep. And I go to get myself a glass of water, and then she calls out like, ‘Hey, can you get me a glass of water too?,’ which is fine, but then she goes, ‘No, can you come here and get my glass?’ "
Cazzie then explained to Meyers that as she went into the bedroom to retrieve Romy’s glass, the glass was already filled with water, which she then proceeded to slowly drink while Cazzie stood waiting to fill it back up again.
“And it ended with, like, us truly yelling at each other that we wish the other wasn’t even born,” she added.
Despite the silly sister fights, Romy has a strong bond with Cazzie, who has shared snaps of the pair hanging out.
“HBD my sweet sister!!,” Cazziecaptioned an Instagram postfor Romy’s 26th birthday in March 2022. “I am obligated to love u and post for your birthday until [I] die I guess.”
