Paul Walker's brother Cody has named his newborn son after the late actor.

The Fast And Furious star tragically died in a car accident aged 40 back in 2013.

Almost a decade on, his brother Cody Walker, 34, and his wife Felicia welcomed their third child on Sunday, April 30, in Arizona.

The couple are already parents to a five-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son.

"This November will mark 10 years since we lost my brother, Paul, and I just felt now was the appropriate time," Cody told People.

"My brother, Caleb, and I are both done having children. My brother, Paul, was Paul William Walker IV and that name goes back four generations.

"Within the family, he went by ‘little Paul’ or ‘Paul 4,’ even though he quickly outgrew our father in height. It was important to me to have that name carry on."

Twenty-four hours after the birth of their newborn, the couple arrived at the perfect name - Paul Barrett ('Bear') Walker.

Felicia posted a photo of the newborn on Instagram, alongside the caption: "It’s a boy!! Welcome to the clan, Barrett! You are so loved."

In 2018, Cody paid a touching tribute to his late brother ahead of the release of documentary I am Paul Walker.

"You were and still are my biggest inspiration," he wrote on Instagram.

"And I know you’d punch me right now for putting you in the spotlight, especially since you spent most of your life hiding from the Hollywood BS.

"Everyone of us is lucky to have you as a brother, friend, son and father and we’ll never forget the crazy life you lived and how you kept yourself grounded."

As the final chapter of the Fast And Furious franchise comes to a close, Vin Diesel, who reprises his role of Dominic Toretto in newly released Fast X, says he is always reminded of his bond with Walker because of the character's old Dodge Charger.

"When I see that car, I think of the moment that set this world apart from any other movie or franchise. That was when Paul Walker and I were in the Toretto garage and Dom’s talking about a vehicle as a living, breathing entity,” Diesel said.

“Which is why we’ve cast the cars like other films would cast actors.

"When I think of that car, I think of the moment that I got a brother in real life, Paul Walker.”
