‘Stranger Things’ star Charlie Heaton surprised many of his fans when details about a lesser-known facet of his life — his son, Archie Heaton — have gradually emerged over the past years. Let’s get to know Archie better and discover why Heaton kept his existence as a secret.

Who is Archie Heaton?

Archie was born in England in 2014 when Charlie was just 20 years old. His mother is Akiko Matsuura, a Japanese musician who is the drummer and backing vocalist for The Big Pink, an English electronic rock band. The duo first crossed paths when both were members of the noise rock band Comanechi. While Heaton played the drums, Matsuura was the frontwoman.

By late 2014, following Archie’s birth, reports suggest the couple went their separate ways. The specifics behind their split remain private, as neither Heaton nor Matsuura has publicly commented on their breakup. It’s speculated by some that Charlie wasn’t ready to be a father at 20, potentially leading to his breakup with Akiko.

Still, sources indicate that despite their separation, the pair maintains a friendly relationship for the benefit of their son.

Archie’s Life Now

Currently, Archie Heaton primarily resides in London with his mother, Akiko Matsuura. Charlie, on the other hand, has been spending his time between the US, where his acting career is based, and London. The actor keeps his son away from the spotlight, so there aren’t many photos of the two online.

Public’s Reaction to the News

When news of Heaton’s parenthood first emerged in October 2017, fans expressed their surprise online. However, the actor and Matsuura chose to remain silent, refraining from commenting on the matter.

It’s worth noting that following his separation from Matsuura, Heaton began a relationship with fellow ‘Stranger Things’ actor Natalia Dyer in 2016.

Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard recently chatted with Kerrang! to discuss his purpose with his band, The Aubreys’ and their new single ‘Kato.’ When asked whether he would like to achieve the same level of cultural impact with music as his Netflix series, the actor and singer expressed:

“That’s a great question. The filming side of that cultural impact was not on purpose! I was just a part of it. And I was really lucky to be a part of it. With music, it’s a more personal endeavor. I just like writing songs, putting them out, and making music accessible.”

Finn added that his intention with music is to express himself by saying:

“As long as someone can hear it and relate to it, that’s really all that I care about. I definitely don’t feel like I’m trying to take over the world! It’s my own personal journey and relationship with music, so it’s less about cultural impact. If it does end up reaching people and they like it, that’s great.”

Wolfhard isn’t the only cast member of Stranger Things that has a music career. Joe Keery first started releasing music under the name ‘Cool Cool Cool.’ He was also a guitarist and drummer for the Chicago-based garage and psych-rock band Post Animal.

When the Netflix series took over, the actor had to leave Post Animal. However, he decided to continue his musical venture with a stage name called Djo. He now has two studio albums ‘Twenty Twenty’ and ‘Decide’ under his belt. You can listen to the albums below.
