Curtis Wilson Crowe is popular as the celebrity child of famous parents, scriptwriter Cameron Crowe and singer, Nancy Wilson. He was born during his parents’ marriage of 24 years. Sadly, they parted ways in 2010 making many curious about him. As it is, Curtis is not the only child born to the former couple. He has a twin named William.
Curtis, also known as Knife Stuff is passionate about knife flipping. While this may seem like all there is to know about him, here are other fascinating details about Nancy Wilson’s son.
Curtis Wilson Crowe’s Early Life and Background
Curtis Wilson Crowe was born on January 23, 2000, to the then-celebrity couple Cameron Crowe and Nancy Wilson. He and his twin brother William James Crowe came after years of Nancy’s unsuccessful fertility treatments. By the time the twins arrived, she was 45 years old. As a result, they were welcomed via a surrogate and donor egg.
Curtis was named after his mother and his father’s longtime friend, Kelly Curtis while his brother was named after Billy Wilder and Crowe’s father James.
The boy’s arrival was a source of joy for their parents and a love-at-first-sight moment. It didn’t matter to Nancy whether they came from donor eggs or not because she planned to nurture them.
Also, it was a continuation of family traditions seeing that she comes from such a family. She recalls events from the twins’ childhood when they wore their grandfather’s military finery.
Moving on, Crowe and Wilson managed to keep their children away from public attention while focusing on their careers.
As it is, they lived a normal childhood and attended school without any recorded scandal.
His Parents Divorced after 24 Years of Marriage
Curtis’s parents got married in 1986 but divorced in 2010 after 24 years of marriage. At the time, the celebrity children were just 10 years old making many curious to know why Crowe and Wilson’s marriage failed.
It turns out that the movie maker and Heart singer had irreconcilable differences.
Cracks started appearing in the marriage shortly after Curtis and his brother were born. Though Wilson was invested in nurturing the children, Crowe was focused on his career. He has worked on successful works like Say Anything(1989), Jerry Maguire(1996), Almost Furious(2000), and Vanilla Sky(2001).
They separated in 2008 but Wilson waited another two years before filing for divorce in 2010. According to the Heart guitarist, Nancy, she waited long hoping they would work things out. Moreso, she wanted her marriage to work like that of her parents who had a lasting marriage.
Since the divorce, Curtis’ mom has moved on and is married to Geoff Bywater at the time of filing this report.

Where is Curtis Wilson Crowe Now?
The 25–year-old is alive and living quietly. Prior, Curtis and William made it to the news in 2016 when his aunt, Ann’s husband, Dean Wetter physically assaulted them. The incident happened during a Heart performance in Auburn, Washington.
The twins were watching Heart’s performance and decided to look into the tour bus but ended up leaving it open. This made Wetter angry after which he punched one of the twins in the head. With this development, the other twin stepped in but Wetter ended up grabbing him by the throat thereby choking him.
Following this, Wetter was arrested on August 27 and later pleaded guilty to two non-felony charges. He was sentenced to 364 days in jail but the time was suspended.
The incident affected Nancy and Ann’s relationship leading to Heart’s three-year hiatus. Thankfully, the sisters worked out their differences and came back together in 2019.
In recent years, Curtis’ social media activities show he loves knife flipping which explains his nickname Knife Stuff. He shares updates while flipping his pocket knife and hanging out with people with the same passion. He has participated in knife flipping tournaments including the California 2017 where he faced off with competitors like Seiji. Also, Curtis loves outdoor activities like fishing.
One would wonder what his brother is also up to. It turns out that William described by his Instagram profile as Bill J Crowe is a producer and feminist who goes by pronouns such as he, they, she, and them.
