Alfonso Ribeiro Is a Doting Dad of 4 From 2 Marriages: The Eldest Is an Actress, and the Youngest Is Moms Mini-Me

While Alfonso Ribeiro’s four kids may not share the same mother, they undoubtedly have one thing in common: a father who consistently shows his unwavering support.

Renowned for his iconic portrayal of Carlton Banks on ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,’ Alfonso Ribeiro is a devoted dad, raising four children from two marriages as part of a loving blended family.

At 54 years old, the actor and television host frequently provides a glimpse into his family life. His four children, aged between six and 23, each contribute uniquely to their family’s narrative.

Second Marriage, Expanding Family, and Renewed Happiness

In 2012, Ribeiro proposed to Angela Unkrich by Lake Tahoe, with close friends and his daughter Sienna present. He expressed his joy on social media, stating, ‘I got engaged last night to Angela on Lake Tahoe, surrounded by our dear friends and my daughter. Greatest day of my life.’

The couple tied the knot in October 2012 and have since welcomed three children: Alfonso Lincoln Ribeiro Jr. (AJ), Anders Reyn Ribeiro, and Ava Sue Ribeiro.

Angela often shares heartfelt insights into their parenting journey, filled with warmth and appreciation for each child’s unique personality.

AJ, 12, Exhibits Thoughtfulness and Care

AJ, who arrived on October 27, 2013, was announced with pride by his dad, who wrote, ‘We are so blessed.’

AJ has always maintained a strong bond with his siblings, often comforting his younger brother by gently rubbing his back and singing ‘Twinkle Twinkle.’ As he matures, he continues to show love and affection for his family.

On his 12th birthday, Angela praised him, saying, ‘Somehow he’s growing up and growing deeper at the same time… more wisdom, more kindness, more heart. He is thoughtful, articulate, intelligent, funny, gentle yet strong, and still enjoys cuddling with his mom. His heart is his superpower.’

Anders, 11, Has a Radiant Smile

Born on April 30, 2015, Anders is recognized for his emotional depth and remarkable athletic abilities. Alfonso announced his birth on May 1, describing him as ‘a wonderful blessing to our family.’

Angela has characterized him as having ‘a heart as big as the world, a smile that brightens any room, and those eyes that can look right into your soul.’

With a passion for animals and nature, Anders is also highly active in sports, displaying more ‘grit and heart’ than many adults, according to his mom. She has even called him ‘the most curious, hilarious, and truly awesome boy.’

‘This amazing human is the reason I believe in magic,’ Angela shared, admiring her son’s spirit, distinctiveness, and joyful approach to life.

Ava Sue, 7, Is Imaginative and Fearless

Ava made her entrance on Mother’s Day, May 12, 2019, in a vibrant manner. Alfonso announced, ‘Ava Sue Ribeiro finally decided to send @mrsangelaribeiro1 to the hospital on Mother’s Day and joined our world early yesterday morning.’

Angela notes that Ava possesses ‘the resilience that comes from having two older brothers and a tenderness that surfaces especially around puppies.’ This seven-year-old is already forging her own bold identity as a curious, articulate child with a fascination for sharks, roller coasters, and performing for any audience.

‘She has an imagination as vast as the sky, the wisdom of an ancient soul, and a laugh so infectious it can warm anyone’s heart,’ her mother expressed. ‘Her spirit animal is a unicorn — and honestly, that makes perfect sense.’

A Family Driven by Love

Despite the challenges that come with blended families, the Ribeiros have cultivated a nurturing environment filled with support and unity. Sienna enjoys a close bond with her stepmother, Angela, and her younger siblings, frequently appearing in family photos during celebrations, outings, and significant life events.

Angela often reflects on how each child contributes their unique magic to the family, a sentiment that shines through in her posts, captions, and joyful photographs.

As Alfonso continues to raise his children, it is evident that the man recognized for his charming dance moves and comedy now embraces his most significant role yet: a fully engaged, dedicated, and immensely proud father.

Sienna Michele, 23: The Eldest of the Ribeiro Siblings

Alfonso’s first daughter, Sienna Michele Ribeiro, was born on October 7, 2002, to Robin Stapler, an actress he met in 1999 while filming ‘In the House.’

The couple married soon after, but by August 2006, they divorced, citing irreconcilable differences. They share joint custody of Sienna and have supported her throughout her flourishing acting career.

Sienna has appeared in productions like ‘NCIS,’ the 2022 thriller ‘Deadly Cheers,’ and more recently, ‘The Lightning Code’ set for release in 2025. Growing up in the spotlight, she has attended events such as NSYNC’s Challenge for the Children V in 2003 and is frequently featured in family photos.
