Bill Murray was in proud dad mode as he celebrated his son Luke’s career milestone on November 3.
The 76-year-old actor cheered on his 44-year-old son as Luke kicked off his first game as Boston College’s men’s basketball coach.
Murray also shares son Homer, 43, with ex-wife Margaret Kelly, as well as sons Caleb, 33; Jackson, 30; Cooper, 29; and Lincoln, 21, with his second ex-wife Jennifer Butler.
Bill Murray was his son Luke’s biggest fan as he stepped out to celebrate a major career milestone. The Lost in Translation actor brought a major dose of team spirit to the stands as the 41-year-old kicked off his first game as Boston College’s men’s basketball coach.

Murray was in proud dad mode as he cheered on Luke and the Eagles during the season opener against the Wagner Seahawks. The Chicago native, 76, got suited up in Boston College merch, supporting his son—whom he shares with his first ex-wife, Margaret Kelly—in a burgundy red baseball cap, a matching long-sleeved shirt, and black slacks.
In a photo shared by a fan on X, Murray could also be seen with a new white Boston College T-shirt, which he layered atop his all-red ensemble during the game.

The Ghostbusters actor appeared to be a good luck charm for his middle son. Luke—who previously served as an assistant coach at the University of Connecticut for five seasons—triumphantly stepped out on the court of the Silvio O. Conte Forum after the Eagles won against the Seahawks.

The dad-of-six—who also shares son Homer, 43, with Kelly, as well as sons Caleb, 33; Jackson, 30; Cooper, 29; and Lincoln, 21, with his second ex-wife Jennifer Butler—has been an enthusiastic supporter of Luke’s coaching career throughout the years.
The Saturday Night Live alum was photographed many times cheering on Luke during his five-year stint with the University of Connecticut Huskies, including during March Madness this year, when the Groundhog Day actor was photographed excitedly celebrating a major upset against the Duke Blue Devils.
Meanwhile, in 2023, Murray showed off his love of tennis as he accompanied both of his eldest sons to the US Open Tennis Championships in New York City. Luke and Homer, who is the chef and the owner of the Brooklyn restaurant 21 Greenpoint, could be seen smiling and chatting with their dad as they sat in the stands during the rare joint appearance.
