Having never married, Keaton decided to adopt her 2 kids in her 50s and raised them as a single mum – they’ve both shunned the spotlight and Hollywood in favour of their own pursuits

Oscar-winning Hollywood actress Diane Keaton had a busy end to 2024. In August, the film legend released her first eyewear collection in collaboration with Look Optic. She also created a line with Hudson Grace covering everything from dinnerware and home decor to pet accessories. A month later, on September 3, she released a new book titled Fashion First – with a foreword by Ralph Lauren – chronicling her biggest hits (and biggest flops) as a fashion icon.

To celebrate the release of Keaton’s book, her 29-year-old daughter, Dexter Keaton, posted a picture on Instagram of herself dancing with her famous mum at her wedding in 2021. Keaton is also mother to a son, 25-year-old Duke Keaton.

So, who are Diane Keaton’s children and what do we know about them?

The Father of the Bride star is a single mum to her two children, both of whom are adopted. Dexter “Dexie” Keaton was born on December 15, 1995, and was adopted in 1996 when Keaton was 50. Keaton’s son, Duke Keaton, was born on February 8, 2000, and was adopted in 2001, when Keaton was 55. Although the Manhattan star has never been married, she embraced maternity because “motherhood was not an urge I couldn’t resist, it was more like a thought I’d been thinking for a very long time. So I plunged in”, she told Ladies’ Home Journal in 2008, per People.

Dexter Keaton is happily married

Dexter Keaton became Dexie White when she married racer Jordan White in 2021. In August, the couple spent a romantic holiday in Hawaii for their third wedding anniversary and looked as much in love as they did when they tied the knot. Interestingly, they had their honeymoon in Hawaii, too, so the state is clearly an important place for the couple.
