Meet Lorenzo Lamas' 6 Kids From His Several Marriages

This article references substance abuse, miscarriage, divorce, and eating disorders.

When you hear the name Lorenzo Lamas, you likely picture one of two iconic TV characters: Lance Cumson, the wealthy, slick-haired playboy from the primetime soap opera "Falcon Crest," or Reno Raines, the leather-clad, Harley-riding vigilante in the action series "Renegade." These two memorable roles earned the actor worldwide acclaim and cemented his status as a 1980s and 1990s heartthrob. Alongside his on-screen romances, Lamas made headlines for his tumultuous personal life, which includes six marriages and divorces. At the time of publication, he is the father of six children through two ex-wives and a former girlfriend. 

Beyond his two most acclaimed roles and his directing and producing credits, Lamas was cast as Jack Kelly in the "Snake Eater" franchise, Rio Arnett on "Air America," and Raphael Cain on "The Immortal." Ever the adventure and action aficionado, he holds black belts in several martial arts and has built a second career as a commercial pilot. Given his wild and colorful reputation, it makes one wonder what his relationship with his kids must be like. Does he live up to his cool-dad persona? Are his grown-up offspring following in their famous dad's footsteps, or have they carved out their own paths? Let's take a closer look at the Lamas family and see what all six kids have been up to in recent years.

Many celebrities have established large families. Comedian and actor Eddie Murphy welcomed 10 kids with five women, and rock icon Rod Stewart fathered eight kids with five partners. As for the "Grease" actor, Lorenzo Lamas has six ex wives. On his 60th birthday, Lorenzo had son A.J. Lamas and daughter Shayne Lamas with Michele Cathy Smith, who died in 2018. Lamas met Smith, his publicist, during a press tour for "Falcon Crest." They tied the knot on a yacht on May 22, 1983, when Smith was already fourth months pregnant with A.J. Citing irreconcilable differences as the cause for their split, the couple filed for divorce in March 1985, when she was four months along with Shayne.

Lorenzo also shares daughter Ashbrook, his third child, with fellow actor Daphne Ashbrook. Daphne, an actor, writer, and producer, played Jackie on "Hollywood Heights." She also appeared on "The O.C." and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." Lorenzo then met his fourth wife, Shauna Sand, a former Playboy Playmate and an actor known for "Air America," "Black Dawn," and "Hollywood Girls." The pair wed in April 1996 and went their separate ways in October 2022. They share daughters Alexandra, Victoria, and Isabella Lamas. As of 2026, the "Lucha Underground" star is in a relationship with "Melrose Place" alum Heather Locklear, and Lorenzo's kids seem to be on board with this romance.

Born on December 19, 1983, Alvaro Joshua "A.J." Lamas is Lorenzo Lamas' eldest child and only son. Named Model of the Year 2001 by the International Model and Talent Association, A.J. had a promising modeling and acting career ahead of him. His first role was as Cisco Gonzalez in the 2002 drama series "American Family." He was then selected as Mr. Golden Globe (now known as Golden Globe Ambassador) in 2003 and cast as Rafael Ortega on "As the World Turns" in 2004. His last gig dates back to 2012, around the same time his personal scandals took over the headlines.

The "Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader" actor has had multiple brushes with the law and is currently keeping a low profile. In 2011, he was arrested twice for drug possession and released on bail. In September 2012, he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence, resulting in 36 months of probation and a $1,600 fine. Three years later, he was booked for shoplifting. "He's in a difficult spot. My heart and prayers go out to him," Lorenzo told TMZ at the time, adding, "My family has been there for him on numerous occasions." The feud between father and son actually started in 2002, when A.J. allegedly had an affair with then-stepmom Shauna Sand. "It absolutely destroyed me emotionally. I couldn't talk to my son for two years," Lorenzo revealed to Wendy Williams (via People) in 2015.

"The Bachelor" has experienced some changes since its debut by turning several contestants into reality TV stars, including Lorenzo Lamas' eldest daughter, Shayne Lamas. Born on November 6, 1985, Shayne followed the family business and landed acting gigs in "General Hospital," "The 13^th Alley," and "Deep in the Valley." As the winner of "The Bachelor" Season 12, Shayne was engaged to British bachelor Matt Grant, but they broke up months after the finale. In 2010, she exchanged vows with Nik Richie, the founder of a celebrity gossip website before they, too, split up in 2021. 

Richie and Shayne share daughter Press Dahl Lamas-Richie, who was born in 2011, and son Lyon Lamas-Richie, who was born four years later. Fun fact: It was Lorenzo's fifth wife, Shawna Craig, who acted as a surrogate for Lyon following Shayne's devastating miscarriage in February 2014. "[S]he's like a soul sister," Shayne told Closer Weekly, "She's an angel that blessed my whole family, including my father." As for the "Couples Therapy" alum, Shayne is easily one of the most open nepo babies when it comes to personal struggles. In her interviews, she's been candid about facing scrutiny at an early age and has openly discussed difficult topics, including pregnancy loss, substance abuse, sobriety, and generational trauma. She also maintains an Instagram account, where she shared in February 2026 that she was preparing a memoir with a ghostwriter.

Born on September 6, 1988, Paton Ashbrook, also known as Paton Lee Lamas, followed in her famous parents' footsteps, though more successful than her older siblings. After appearing in various short films, Paton landed the lead role in the 2009 horror film "The Gate of Fallen Angels," helmed and co-written by Wolfgang Meyer. She co-wrote the 2023 award-winning supernatural movie "Come Home" and was also cast as Bridget Cohen on "House of Cards," Ryan on "Shameless," and Jenny Sullivan in the "Power Book" franchise. 

"Acting is homebase, where I simultaneously feel vulnerable, expansive, and playful," Paton shared with PhotoBook Magazine in 2023, naming her mother Daphne Ashbrook as her favorite performer and main inspiration. In that same interview, she revealed that she loved unwinding through meditation, yoga, and spending time with her cats. She also discussed how she hosted various scientists and celebrities on "The FreeBody Podcast," a platform centered on health, wellness, and spirituality. On the romance front, Paton has been married to actor, writer, and director Sathya Sridharan since 2024. He played Ethan Cochar in "Minor Premise" and Dan the Pizza Man in "The Whale," opposite Brendan Fraser.

Alexandra Lamas was born on November 22, 1997, to Lorenzo Lamas and Shauna Sand. Although Alexandra has appeared on reality TV shows like "Botched" and modeled under Ashton Models, her true calling lies in marketing and branding. According to her LinkedIn page, she holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Global Health, and she specializes in "leading brand strategy and content creation for fashion, spaces, [and] founders." Currently, this stunning, hazel-eyed Lamas daughter works as a creative director and brand strategist for luxury bridal brand Gbanoo, in addition to her position as a brand operations manager for both the Blackbird Collection and Head Spa Nagomi.

At the beginning of 2024, Alexandra shared on her Instagram page that she had become a certified integrative nutrition health coach and had founded Being Embodied, a business "dedicated to helping women escape perfectionism, poor body image, and stress-related health issues." Per her holistic practice's website, she drew inspiration from her own past struggles with food and exercise.

Just like her siblings, Victoria Arlene Lamas has dabbled in acting and modeling, but she's, first and foremost, a painter and visual artist holding a fine arts degree from the Pratt Institute. Born on April 24, 1999, she has landed gigs in various short films, including the role of Dylan in "Talk Later," which earned her a best actress nomination at the Sunscreen Film Festival West. Victoria, who started modeling at just 5 years old, is currently signed with The Industry Management in Los Angeles and Miami, as well as KT Management, according to her Instagram page.

In 2022, at age 23, Victoria sparked headlines after she was spotted having dinner with "The Wolf of Wall Street" star Leonardo DiCaprio, which may not come as too much of a surprise given DiCaprio's history of scandalous age-gap relationships. In a December 2022 chat with the New York Post, however, Lorenzo Lamas brushed off any serious romance rumors. Nonetheless, he shared, "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." However, it seems that sparks between Victoria and DiCaprio fizzled out fast, as further news of a budding romance ultimately stopped there.

Isabella Lorenza Lamas, the youngest of Lorenzo Lamas' six children, was born on February 2, 2001. Inspired by her multitalented family, Isabella dabbled in the entertainment industry. She appeared on the reality shows "Botched" and "Gone Country" as herself, and she also worked as a production assistant on a 2013 episode of "Real Eyes," a series focused on domestic abuse. That said, Isabella has since shifted gears. The glamorous and stylish influencer is growing her fanbase on Instagram, where she shares her passion for fashion, lifestyle, and travel. You can catch glimpses of her trips to popular tourist destinations like Sardinia, Maui, Aspen, and Paris. Her very first post, though, which dates back to 2015, is dedicated to her parents and features them dancing at their wedding. 

Lorenzo isn't shy about sharing his love for his family on social media, including for his youngest daughter. In a Facebook post celebrating Isabella's 20^th birthday, Lorenzo 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." His post also revealed her acceptance into the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in 2024, going on to gain experience as a luxury jewelry sales consultant, social media strategist, visual merchandiser, and fashion stylist.

Having portrayed many hunky '80s and '90s TV characters with iconic fashion, Lorenzo Lamas easily paved the way for his children in show business by being supportive and protective of both their careers and personal lives. For instance, when Victoria Lamas was casually dating Leonardo DiCaprio in 2022, the "Renegade" star revealed to the New York Post that he didn't mind their fling but had advised her to be cautious. "I told her to treat the relationship like a holiday — just enjoy it as much as you can for as long as it lasts," he shared. "And if it lasts for more than a typical holiday, great. But if not, then just guard your heart, you know? Because she's very young."

While discussing his three youngest daughters on the "Media Path Podcast" in September 2025, Lorenzo said, "They are absolutely beautiful human beings, both inside and out." He recalled raising them in a small apartment on Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills, where he did their hair in the morning before driving them to public school. He shared that he always refrained from complimenting their look when they were young. "What I always encourage in my girls is beauty from the heart, from the mind, because that's what you have a responsibility to develop," he added. The proud father equally enjoys spending time with his two grandkids, as evident by Shayne Lamas' heartwarming family photos on Instagram.
