Despite the rude people above, you deserve an answer. Hoffman has two children (Karina and Jenna) with his first wife Anne Byrne (married May 1969; divorced in 1980), and four more (Jacob, Maxwell, Rebecca and Alexandra) with wife Lisa Gottsegen, who is an attorney (married since October 1980). Hoffman also has two grandchildren. I am guessing grandchildren.

I don't think that they are related but i do know that Dustin does have alot of nieces and nephews so i suppose it could be possible that they are related but i think it is only a slight chnce that they actually are!!!!

I found the info about his nieces and nephews from watching inside the actors studio ( i think could have been another interview i suppose) but look on imb too i find that really useful for infomation

Their second name ,"Hoffman"

THEY BOTH HAVE HOFFMAN IN THIER NAMES
