All About Christian Slater's 4 Kids
Christian Slater is a doting dad of four.
The Unfrosted star and his wife, Brittany Lopez, share two children: a daughter, born in 2019, and a son, who arrived in July 2024. Slater is also dad to son Jaden, 25, and daughter Eliana, 23, whom he shares with ex-wife Ryan Haddon.

And now, amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Slater, Brittany, their baby girl and Slater's 18-year-old daughter Eliana Sophia are social distancing at home with their newest family member — who is keeping the couple "very busy."
"I feel for everyone that is being affected by this, but getting the chance to spend some time with family, spend time with my older daughter who's been with us before she goes off to college, [is great]," Slater tells PEOPLE.
One of his favorite moments, he adds, has been "getting to see my daughter start crawling." And, as the proud father explains, "We're on hold waiting, at any moment, for either 'Mama' or 'Dada.' "
As for whether he's trying to get the "Dada" angle going, Slater says, "I do spend time practicing with her, but I try and slip in a few 'Mamas' every now and then, just to keep it balanced
