Lorenzo Lamas’ kids — A.J., Victoria, Shayne, Paton, Isabella and Alexandra — are as creative as he is

When he’s not starring in movies, Lorenzo Lamas is a busy father of six children: A.J., Shayne, Paton, Victoria, Isabella and Alexandra.

A.J. and Shayne share a mother, the late publicist Michele Smith, while Victoria, Isabella and Alexandra are the daughters of model Shauna Sand; Paton was born to actress Daphne Ashbrook.

Because of their successful parents, the kids were introduced to the entertainment world at a young age.

Lamas opened up about fatherhood during a 2006 AARP interview. “In my 40s, I came to realize that my kids need to be the most important thing in my life,” he shared. “I’ve become a lot less self-centered and a little more cognizant of the needs and emotions of my kids.”

Here's everything to know about Lorenzo Lamas’ children: A.J., Shayne, Paton, Victoria, Isabella and Alexandra.

A.J. Lamas, 40

Lamas and his ex-wife, Smith, welcomed their son, Alvaro Joshua "A.J." Lamas, on Dec. 19, 1983.

Like his parents, A.J. discovered a passion for acting and is known for his appearance on the soap opera As the World Turns and his work on the comedy-drama series Gigantic.

After making a cameo in the 2012 sci-fi comedy Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader, he has maintained a low profile.

Shayne Lamas, 39

Lamas and Smith celebrated the arrival of their second child together, daughter Shayne Lamas, on Nov. 6, 1985.

In addition to starring in General Hospital and The 13th Alley, Lamas’ eldest daughter has conquered the reality space. She spearheaded the family’s 2009 E! reality show, Leave It to Lamas, which explored her journey navigating Hollywood as part of the plot.

When speaking about the undertaking with Page Six, Shayne recalled, “There were so many times I thought, ‘should I have done this to my family,’ because I’m the ringleader. I’m responsible for bringing this chaos into our lives.”

“But the last episode was one of the most amazing days of my life,” the actress continued. “That’s when everything came together and this whole thing turned out to be more amazing than I ever imagined.”

Shayne is known for starring in season 12 of The Bachelor — The Bachelor: London Calling in 2008. Although the season’s British Bachelor, Matt Grant, proposed to her during the finale, they didn't make it to the altar.

The reality stars confirmed their split in July 2008 and said in a statement to PEOPLE, “We tried hard to make it work but we realized that we were both heading in different directions. We truly care about each other and will remain close friends.”

Two years after winning the show, Shayne exchanged vows with blogger and social media personality Nik Richie. They went on to welcome two children together, Press and Lyon, before divorcing in 2021 after 11 years of marriage.

“We have nothing but love and respect for one another,” Shayne wrote on Instagram. “This is just the situation of two people growing apart.”

Speaking to Fox News, Lamas’ ex-wife, Shawna Craig, revealed that she served as the couple’s surrogate for Lyon. In 2012, Lamas complimented Shayne’s parenting to Hollywood.TV. “She’s a heck of a mom,” he said.

The Renegade star shared a sweet photo of his grandchildren in a 2020 Facebook post and gushed in his caption, “How friggen cute are my grandkids? Papa Lolo loves you!”

Paton Ashbrook, 36

Lamas and Ashbrook welcomed their daughter Paton Ashbrook on Sept. 6, 1988.

Paton gave a glimpse into her entertainment-filled childhood in Los Angeles in a reflective Instagram Stories post.

“I grew up in LA in a family full of actors,” she wrote. “I spent my childhood watching my mom recite lines in the car on my drives to school, my study hall was in the seats of a small black box theater where she rehearsed and performed plays, and I was lucky to get to come to set with her during her extensive career in television.”

Paton continued, “I would make these soap operas with my older sister and brother when I’d visit my dad’s place with a camcorder, and I remember feeling connected to them and joyful that we could share that.”

She turned that hobby into a career, and now, Paton is both an actress and a director. Her résumé includes series and films like Shameless (2011), House of Cards (2013) and Power Book II: Ghost (2020). In addition, Lamas hosts her own audio show, The FreeBody Podcast.

In October 2022, Paton got engaged to actor and writer Sathya Sridharan in Iceland. She shared photos from their trip and announced the exciting news in a since-deleted Instagram post.

“Love you @sathyayayaya,” Paton wrote. “Here’s to our next big adventure.”

When she’s not acting, directing or podcasting, Paton enjoys reading and singing. On her Instagram, she has a highlight series featuring books she’s read, including Trick Mirror.

Alexandra Lamas, 26

Alexandra Lamas was born to Lamas and his fourth wife, Sand, on Nov. 22, 1997.

Although she grew up in the entertainment world alongside her siblings, she pursued a different career path from them.

After Alexandra experienced "an unbalanced relationship with food and movement," she felt motivated to make her well-being a priority — and that’s what inspired her to found her health coaching business, Being Embodied. According to her Instagram, Lamas’ daughter is a certified integrative nutrition coach, and she’s passionate about food positivity.

She utilizes her skills to “offer comprehensive well-being guidance, embracing empathy and understanding, to empower individuals to fully embrace their lives” via her coaching business. Hormonal health, nutrition and a balanced lifestyle are all at the forefront of the Being Embodied mission.

Lamas couldn’t be prouder of Alexandra: After she began working as a health coach, he shared a link to her Being Embodied website on Facebook and captioned it, “My daughter Alexandra Lamas has begun her career as an Integrative nutrition health coach! She embodies empathy and a real desire to help people heal themselves through nutrition and well being.”

He continued, “I’m so proud of her accomplishments! An honors grad from UCSD (University of California San Diego) in Psychology and now this. My heart is full.”

In addition to acting and modeling, Victoria also makes stunning artwork. Per her Instagram, she often works with acrylic, pens and charcoal to craft colorful and intricate faces and bodies. She has even sold her paintings.

Her love life involves an A-lister: In December 2022, Lamas shared that Victoria was “very smitten” with Leonardo DiCaprio after the two were spotted together in West Hollywood.

He told the New York Post, “I know she likes him very much. I think they met last month. I'm not sure of the circumstances, but that's what she told me.”

The actor’s advice to his daughter was to “treat the relationship like a holiday” and “enjoy it as much as you can for as long as it lasts.” Lamas clarified, “She's fond of him, obviously. But they're not dating."

Isabella Lamas, 23

Lamas’ youngest daughter, Isabella Lamas, was born on Feb. 2, 2001.

She is his third daughter with Sand and, like many of her family members, has booked a number of on-screen gigs. Isabella appeared as herself on the reality TV shows Gone Country (2008) and Botched (2014), while she was a production assistant on the show Real Eyes (2012).

Lamas and Isabella have a close father-daughter relationship, and he enjoys celebrating her publicly. In February 2021, he posted a series of adorable photos of Isabella on Facebook for her birthday.

“My Precious daughter Isabella is 20 today!” he wrote. “This little swan grew up in the shadow of her two older sisters, always trying her hardest to be heard. Fortunately God gave her a rambunctious voice and unwavering confidence. First to fall, but also first to laugh, this precocious little girl always had big dreams and glitter bombs!”

The actor added, “I’m such a proud Dad. I love you Precious!”
