Two daughters, one verified recording debut and a firm privacy line
Eddie Vedder’s 2 Daughters: Olivia and Harper
Quick answer: Eddie Vedder and Jill Vedder have two daughters: Olivia, born 11 June 2004, and Harper, born 23 September 2008. On 13 August 2026 Olivia is 22 and Harper is 17. Olivia has a verified soundtrack recording; Harper remains a private minor.
The distinction between a public credit and a family-stage moment matters. Olivia sang lead on an officially released song. Harper has appeared with her father at times, but that does not establish a professional career.
Eddie and Jill are public founders of the EB Research Partnership. Their daughters should not automatically be assigned their parents’ causes, beliefs or public roles.
Eddie Vedder’s daughters at a glance
| Daughter | Born | Age on 13 August 2026 | Public evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Olivia Vedder | 11 June 2004 | 22 | Lead vocal on “My Father’s Daughter” |
| Harper Vedder | 23 September 2008 | 17 | Private minor; occasional family appearances only |
Olivia is the elder sister by just over four years. Both are the children of Eddie Vedder and Jill McCormick Vedder.

Who are Olivia and Harper’s parents?
Eddie Vedder is Pearl Jam’s lead singer, and Jill Vedder is an activist and former model. The couple began their relationship around 2000, welcomed Olivia in 2004 and Harper in 2008, and married in 2010.
The daughters share both parents. There is no step- or half-sibling branch needed to answer this family question.
That simple map is still worth stating because copied profiles sometimes spend more space on Eddie’s earlier marriage than on the two people readers searched for.
Olivia Vedder’s verified music credit
Olivia was born on 11 June 2004 and is 22. Her clearest public work is the song “My Father’s Daughter” from the 2021 Flag Day soundtrack.
Amazon MGM’s official music video credits Olivia as the performer and Eddie Vedder and Glen Hansard as writers. Apple Music lists Olivia, Eddie and Hansard on the soundtrack release; Olivia is the lead vocalist.
She also performed “There’s a Girl” on the soundtrack. Those credits establish a real recording debut, but they do not prove a continuous full-time music career in 2026.
Harper Vedder and the limit of public evidence
Harper was born on 23 September 2008 and is 17. She has occasionally appeared around Pearl Jam or Eddie’s performances, including childhood stage moments.
A guest appearance with a parent is not enough to label a minor a musician, performer or activist. No strong reviewed source establishes a current professional role.
KidsCo therefore gives the complete answer—name, parent relationship, birth chronology and minor status—without adding school, social-media, relationship or future-career speculation.
How much did the daughters grow up around music?
Pearl Jam’s official biography identifies Eddie as the band’s frontman since 1990. Music is an obvious part of the household context, and Olivia’s soundtrack work is directly documented.
It is still unsafe to infer equal interest or talent for both daughters. Children can be present at a parent’s workplace without adopting that profession.
The clean distinction is: Eddie has a long public music career; Olivia has a verified recording credit; Harper has no current career established by the evidence reviewed.
What is the Vedder family’s EB Research Partnership role?
Jill and Eddie joined other families in founding the EB Research Partnership in 2010. The organisation funds research into epidermolysis bullosa, a rare group of genetic skin disorders.
Its current board page lists Jill as co-founder and chairwoman and Eddie as co-founder. A 2026 Associated Press report describes their continuing work and the documentary Matter of Time.
Those are the parents’ public roles. Unless either daughter chooses and documents a formal role herself, it would be inaccurate to transfer the title “activist” or organisational responsibility to her.
What older Eddie Vedder family profiles overstate
| Repeated claim | Reviewed answer | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Both daughters “share the stage” | Only Olivia has a clearly bound commercial recording credit | Appearance is not a career |
| Olivia described broadly as an activist | A verified soundtrack vocalist; private views are not assigned | Public credit stays specific |
| Harper given inherited music ambitions | Private 17-year-old with no reviewed professional role | Minor’s privacy comes first |
| Parents’ charity work applied to whole household | Jill and Eddie hold the documented EBRP titles | No inherited advocacy label |
Restraint creates a better answer here. Readers can see exactly what is verified instead of receiving a warmer-sounding but unsupported family narrative.
Public credit versus inherited profile
| Supported | Included | Excluded |
|---|---|---|
| Two names and dates | Ages tied to review date | Unverified personal details |
| MGM and music-service credits | Olivia’s soundtrack vocal | Calling a debut a current full career |
| Childhood family appearances | Limited context only | A profession for Harper |
| EBRP’s own records | Parents’ founder roles | Assigning parents’ advocacy to daughters |
The absence of a public career is not missing research. For a minor especially, it is a legitimate and important boundary.
