Kilmer was close to his daughter and son, Jack, 29. Despite splitting with Whalley after seven years of marriage in 1995, the “Batman” star remained a constant in his children’s lives. “I can’t be a responsible parent and only be there three or four months a year,” Kilmer told Vanity Fair in 2012.

While tributes pour in for the screen legend, renewed attention has turned to Kilmer's personal life, particularly his relationship with ex-wife Joanne Whalley and their two children, Mercedes and Jack.
