Dustin Hoffman, a versatile actor and filmmaker who has been married twice, has six children.
After marrying Anne Byrne in May 1969, Dustin Hoffman adopted Karina Hoffman-Birkhead, her first wife’s child from a previous marriage.
On October 15, 1970, Dustin Hoffman and his then-wife welcomed their first biological child, Jenna Byrne.
But his marriage to Byrne did not work out, and he divorced her in 1980.
In October 1980, the actor married his second wife, businesswoman Lisa Gottsegen. Jacob Edward “Jake” Hoffman, Rebecca Hoffman, Maxwell Hoffman, and Alexandra “Ali” Hoffman are his four children with her.
While Hoffman is currently enjoying a happy marriage with his second wife, here are some additional details about his six children.
Karina Hoffman-Birkhead
Karina, Hoffman’s eldest child, was reportedly adopted by the actor when Dustin Hoffman married her mother Byrne.
In a sense, she provided Hoffman with his first taste of parenthood before he had biological children with his spouses.
Furthermore, despite growing up in the actor’s household, Karina has always kept a low profile. That is also true for the time being, as her recent events are being kept private.
Jennifer Byrne
Jenna, unlike her half-sister, followed in her father’s footsteps and became an actress.
She worked in several notable films after graduating from Bayard Rustin High School, including The Wedding Singer, Outbreak, and Wag the Dog.
Jason Cottle [first husband] and Seamus Culligan [second and current husband] are her two husbands. Her current husband and she have two children.
Hoffman, Jacob Edward ‘Jake’
Jake Hoffman, Hoffman’s eldest son, was born in 1981 and is probably the most well-known of the Hoffman siblings.
He, like his father and sister, pursued acting and appeared in films such as Click and The Wolf of Wall Street. Jake has also worked on set with his father in classic films such as Rain Man and Hook.
The 40-year-old made his feature film directorial debut with Asthma in 2014.
Rebecca Hoffman
Rebecca, Hoffman and Gottsegen’s second child — the actor’s fourth — prefers a private life as well.
Despite appearing in the film Hook with her father, she never pursued a career in acting. Until 2004, she reportedly attended Barnard College in New York City and Berlin, Germany.
Mr. Maxwell Hoffman
Maxwell Hoffman, Hoffman’s youngest son, was born in 1984 and is an actor and director best known for his roles in Greenberg and Ask Me Anything.
After graduating from Brown University in 2007, he attended the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague.
According to IMDb, his most recent acting role was in his brother Jake’s directorial debut film Asthma in 2014.
Ali Hoffman Alexandra
Ali, the actor’s youngest child, was born in October 1987 and followed in the footsteps of her father and some of her older siblings.
Moonlight Mile, her first notable acting project, was released in 2002. However, her acting career did not go as well as she would have hoped.
Furthermore, Ali is frequently seen with her famous father at various Hollywood events. For example, in June 2009, she and her parents attended the UK premiere of Last Chance Harvey at the Odeon West End in London.
She has previously dated Jonah Hill. Hill is a well-known comedian who has appeared in films such as Superbad, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Funny People.
