Bob Weir, the legendary co-founder, rhythm guitarist, and vocalist of the Grateful Dead, left behind a rich musical legacy when he passed away on January 10, 2026, at age 78. Beyond his groundbreaking career with the Grateful Dead, Dead & Company, and solo projects, Weir was a devoted family man. He and his wife, Natascha Münter (married in 1999), raised two talented daughters: Shala Monet Weir (often called Monet) and Chloe Kaelia Weir. Growing up in the vibrant Bay Area music scene, both daughters have carved their own paths in creative fields while staying connected to their father’s enduring influence.
Here’s everything you need to know about Bob Weir’s daughters.
Shala Monet Weir: The Elder Daughter
Shala Monet Weir, born on December 19, 1997 (making her approximately 28 years old in 2026), is the older of the two sisters. Raised in Mill Valley, California, Monet pursued higher education at Chapman University in Orange County, where she was an active member of the Alpha Phi sorority.
Chloe Kaelia Weir: The Younger Daughter
Chloe Kaelia Weir, the younger daughter (approximately 24–25 years old in 2026, with some reports noting her around 23 in recent years), has embraced the family’s musical roots through her career as a professional music photographer and videographer.
Chloe’s passion for capturing moments began early—she received her first Polaroid camera at age 7 and often brought it on tour with her dad. She shot the cover photo for Bob Weir’s 2016 album Blue Mountain at just 14. Mentored by renowned Grateful Dead photographer Jay Blakesberg, she became the official photographer for Dead & Company, documenting their livestreams during the pandemic, Red Rocks shows, and the iconic Sphere residency in Las Vegas.
Family Life and Legacy After Bob Weir’s Passing
Bob and Natascha raised their daughters in a creative, music-filled home that balanced touring life with family values. The sisters frequently appeared at events like Grammy Awards, film premieres, and Dead & Company shows.
Following Bob Weir’s death from underlying lung issues (after successfully beating cancer diagnosed in 2025), the family—including Natascha, Monet, and Chloe—shared a heartfelt tribute. Chloe posted the announcement, noting he transitioned peacefully surrounded by loved ones. They requested privacy while expressing gratitude for fans’ support, emphasizing: “There is no final curtain here.”
