Alfonso Ribeiro, best known for his role as Carlton on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is a proud father of four. He shares one daughter with his ex-wife Robin Stapler and three children with his wife, Angela Ribeiro. Alfonso is vocal about his love for fatherhood, often sharing heartfelt tributes and fun family moments on Instagram with his million-plus followers — from birthday shoutouts to unforgettable vacations. Here’s everything to know about Alfonso Ribeiro’s children.
Sienna is Alfonso’s firstborn, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Robin Stapler. She was born on October 8, 2002. Alfonso has described his daughter as “smart, beautiful, motivated, funny, and passionate,” while Stapler has called her “fierce, determined, a force to be reckoned with, stunning, smart, and oh so talented.”
Following in her parents’ footsteps, Sienna is pursuing acting and has appeared in the film Deadly Cheers and has a role in the upcoming movie The Futurist. She’s also active on TikTok, posting dance and lip-sync videos.
For her 20th birthday, Alfonso penned a touching Instagram tribute: “20 years ago today you brought a new sense of happiness to my life. You are an incredible young woman… I love you to the moon and back.
Born on October 27, 2013, AJ is Alfonso and Angela’s first child together. Described by his mom as having a “special bond” with his siblings, AJ loves to playfully tease his big sister while also being a nurturing older brother.
Alfonso once called AJ “outgoing, charismatic, funny,” with a natural gift for making laugh. His favorite hobby? Mini golf! He’s also made rare appearances at the Dancing with the Stars set to support his dad.
The couple welcomed their second son, Anders, on April 30, 2015. At his birth, Angela called him a “beautiful new addition” to their growing family.
Alfonso describes Anders as “funny, loving, smart, cool, athletic,” and with a “heart of gold.” Angela adds that Anders has an extraordinary connection to animals and nature and is impressively competitive — putting his whole heart into every game and sport he plays.
The youngest of the Ribeiro clan, Ava Sue, was born on May 13, 2019 — just a day after Mother’s Day. Since then, she’s blossomed into a spirited little girl her parents describe as “sweet yet fierce,” “charismatic,” and “wise beyond her years.”
Ava can carry a tune without any vocal training and has a strong personality — Angela even called her a “master negotiator.” In 2023, Ava faced a tough moment after a scooter accident led to emergency surgery, but her parents praised her bravery and resilience.
Angela Unkrich and Alfonso Ribeiro tied the knot in October 2012 after getting engaged earlier that year. Together, they’ve built a close-knit family with their three children, and Angela plays a loving stepmother role to Sienna.
Beyond the home, Angela is a constant support at Alfonso’s public appearances — often by his side at red carpet events and Dancing with the Stars tapings, where he now serves as co-host.
