Tucker had Destin with his ex-wife, casting director Azja Pryor, according to the Atlanta Black Star. In the past, he opened up about how fatherhood has changed him.
“Fatherhood changed me in a way like … it takes awhile to realize you’re a father,” he said in 2007. “It’s like, ‘I’m a father. Somebody’s depending on me.’ So, it’s like, it’s different, but it changed me in a good way because it opens you up and it really opens up a different side of you and you have to, you really have somebody depending on you.”

Although Destin hasn’t been in the public eye in the same way other children of celebrities may be, he appeared as an extra in the 2007 film “Rush Hour 3,” in which his father is a lead.
“I think he might want to do it. He’s in this movie. He’s in the karate scene. You might have seen him. He’s the only Black kid in it … with the pretty smile,” Tucker said of his son’s first acting role. “He might want to do it now that he’s got the bug. I think he’s going to have the bug.”

Now 25, Destin graduated from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, where he studied film. He recently wrapped filming a short thriller, Spectrophobia, which he wrote, produced and directed.
“This film is a thriller about a condition that many of us may not be aware of,” he had written on Instagram about the project.
