Meet Dustin Hoffman's 6 Kids: Everything You Need to Know About the Next Gen
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
The eldest siblings grew up during Hoffman’s most disruptive rise to international fame. Karina Hoffman-Birkhead, born in 1966, was legally adopted by Dustin when he married Byrne. Though she maintained a lower public profile than her younger siblings, Karina spent parts of her adult life based in the United Kingdom, occasionally speaking to international journalists about the peculiar reality of growing up stepdaughter to a global cultural icon.
Jenna Hoffman arrived in October 1970, giving the actor his first biological child. Jenna opted for a life far outside the Hollywood camera lights. While she made a brief appearance as an infant in her father's 1971 dark comedy Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?, she never pursued the profession. Jenna focused her adulthood on private ventures, media communications, and family life, rarely appearing at red-carpet premieres except during major career retrospectives honoring her father.
