Noah Wyle’s daughter is showing her appreciation for her dad.
Following her dad’s big win at the 2026 Actor Awards, Auden, the daughter of The Pitt star, 54, shared a congratulatory tribute on her Instagram Stories to commemorate the occasion. The 20-year-old posted a collage of throwback photos with her dad, explaining how proud of him she was for all of his accomplishments.
“No words to describe how proud I am of this man. Growing up watching how much you love being an actor and a part of this world has been something so special. It’s the greatest gift in the world to watch you get your flowers,” she wrote. “You are an inspiration all around, but you were mine first. Congratulations, I love you xoxo.”

The actor became a dad on Nov. 9, 2002, when his then-wife Tracy Warbin gave birth to their son, Owen. They welcomed daughter Auden three years later on Oct. 15, 2005, before their split. Wyle later married his wife, Sara Wyle, in June 2014, and their daughter Frances was born one year later on June 22, 2015.
Though Noah is widely recognized for his starring role as Dr. John Carter on ER, he told PEOPLE in March 2025 that his two older children have yet to watch the show.
“They’ve watched more Grey’s Anatomy than they have ER,” he said. “It’s a point of contention.”
“However, the older they get and the more they seem interested in this business, the more I kind of want to hold that up as something that they might want to engage in,” the proud dad continued.
After starring in multiple medical dramas throughout his career, the ER alum has to remind himself of his profession.
During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he talked with Stephen Colbert about his long history of acting in the medical genre. When the late-night host asked Wyle if he ever forgets that he isn’t a real doctor, the actor admitted that he sometimes does and misdiagnoses his children.
“The things that immediately occurred to me when you asked me that question is all the times I’ve misdiagnosed my children,” Wyle responded. “Oh, it’s a compound fracture? Maybe cold water is not going to work.”

Wyle is helping his kids navigate Hollywood as both Owen and Auden pursue careers in front of and behind the camera. Currently enrolled in college, he said Owen is “taking all sorts of film classes with an eye towards ending up in this industry somewhere.”
As for Auden, she’s “already embarked on her acting career. And she and I got to work together playing father and daughter on an episode of Leverage: Redemption,” Wyle said, referring to a moment from season 1 between their characters, Harry and Becky Wilson, before revealing that they have two more together, which are in the upcoming third season.”
When it comes to Frances, the actor shared that “my 9-year-old is a dynamo who can do anything she wants with her life,” before adding that for all three of them, “I’ve tried to make this business seem difficult and challenging, which it is. And they don’t have any illusions that lightning strikes often in the same place.”
“So, like I said, everybody’s journey is their own and I make myself available [to them],” Wyle concluded.
