Canadian-American comedian, actor, singer, and activist Thomas B. Kin Chong was born on May 24, 1938. In addition to playing Leo on Fox’s That ’70s Show, he is famous for his role and inspiration in the marijuana industry and his marijuana-themed Cheech & Chong comedy albums and movies with Cheech Marin. In the ’80s, he went through the process of becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen. You can read about Tom Chong kids’ details below.
Tom Chong Kids
Chong wed Maxine Sneed in Canada back in 1960. They had two girls, Robbi Chong (born 1965) and Rae Dawn (born 1961). The couple split up in 1970.
Chong wed Shelby Fiddis in 1975 in California. Precious Chong (born in 1968), Paris, and Gilbran Chong (both born in 1974) were their children. Marcus Wyatt was adopted by the couple in 1978. Everyone from Rae Dawn and Robbi to Marcus and Paris to Precious Chong has tried their hand at acting. Precious Chong is known for her work in both film and theater; in May 2011, her play Push… One Mother of a Show premiered in Toronto.
Rae Dawn Chong
Rae Dawn Chong, born in 1961, is the eldest of Tommy Chong’s children. Many sites claim Rae as the daughter of Tommy Chong and Maxine Sneed, and Sneed apparently brought up Rae as her own. Although she later became Rae’s legal guardian, she was not the one who gave birth to the star.

Abigail Toulson was Rae’s biological mother. Toulson’s background is unclear, however, Celebrity Tattler and other outlets have speculated that she was the 17-year-old woman with whom Tommy Chong cheated. On the other hand, Ebony claims that his ex-wife was responsible.

Robbie Chong
Robbi Chong, Tommy Chong’s second oldest child, was born in 1965, smack dab in the middle of his marriage to Maxine Sneed. Unlike Rae, Robbi was not thrust into the public eye due to a scandal surrounding her birth. Because of her abilities, she has appeared in front of more than one kind of spotlight (and camera).
Marcus Chong
Marcus Wyatt is the father of Marcus Chong. According to the documentary “The Marcus Chong Story” (seen on YouTube), he changed his name to Chong when he was 18 years old. He has taken a different path from the rest of Tommy Chong’s offspring. His role as Tank in “The Matrix,” the film that brought him fame and shattered his career, is perhaps the reason he is recognizable to you.
Tommy Chong’s sole non-biological kid is comedian/actor Marcus Chong. Many of Marcus’s internet bios claim he was adopted by Chong, but it’s not exactly clear if they were ever formally adopted or if they just had a strong father tie.
Precious Chong
Tommy Chong’s daughter Precious Chong comes next on the list of his offspring. In spite of her upbringing in the shadow of a famous comic actor, Precious turned her back on the drug-comedy lifestyle when Cheech & Chong were at the height of their fame. Precious went to college, studied ballet, and got straight As she said on the Rarified Heir podcast. Strange as it may seem to those used to the standard when you do the math, it all adds up.
Paris Chong
It’s good that Tommy Chong’s youngest two kids haven’t followed in their older brothers’ footsteps and become famous actors. Without it, they’ve both made notable contributions to society. Two acting credits, one directing credit, and one producing credit are listed for Paris Chong. Even though show business clearly isn’t his thing, he’s still a fascinating individual.
Gilbran Chong
Gilbran Chong, the youngest of Tommy Chong’s children, has only appeared in two films, just like his somewhat older brother. As far as I can tell, his acting career ended with his appearances in both parts 2 and 3 of “Class of Nuke ‘Em High” in the early 1990s. But in one respect, Gilbran is just like his father.
