Justin Chambers is a proud father of five. The Grey’s Anatomy star and his wife, Keisha Chambers, have been married since 1993 and share five adult children: daughters Isabella, 29, Maya, 27, Kaila, 27, Eva, 25, and son Jackson, 22. Although the family primarily lived in Los Angeles, they frequently traveled between the West Coast and their home in New York City. “Being a parent is great. It’s hard work, but fun,” Justin shared with in 2008. “Love and enjoy your children, but also don’t hesitate to call them out on their crap. I’m not afraid to hold them accountable.” Now that his children are grown, Justin reflected on his eldest turning 30 in December, calling it “a big milestone” at the 25th Annual Women’s Image Awards in February 2024. He also spoke about his daughters, describing them as “very independent, levelheaded, kind,” and added, “I’m very blessed, very grateful.
Justin and Keisha’s first child, Isabella, was born in December 1994. Over the years, she’s made several red carpet appearances with her father, including attending the 2007 American Music Awards with him and her mom. Isabella has also accompanied her father to solo events like the opening of the Dolce & Gabbana flagship boutique in Los Angeles in 2008 and the MaxMara & Allure #TGIT event in Beverly Hills in 2015. During the 2024 Women’s Image Awards, Justin opened up about Isabella, sharing, “I’m proud of her. She’s very socially conscious and deeply involved in world issues. She’s just a very kind and loving person.
Twin daughters Maya and Kaila were born on June 4, 1997. Maya was about 8 years old when Justin first started on Grey’s Anatomy, making her dad’s role on the hit show seem normal to her and her siblings. “They were so young when we started, they don’t really know much else,” Justin told E! News in 2019. “But they’re happy about it — hey, I’m paying for college!” When asked if his kids think he’s cool, Justin was quick to answer, “No, and they shouldn’t.
Kaila, Maya’s twin, also shares her birthday on June 4, 1997. She attended The Cooper Union in New York City, where she studied film and the arts. Kaila has shared her creative work on Instagram, including a stop-motion film she worked on for four years, with sound effects provided by her younger sister, Eva. Kaila has also dabbled in modeling, appearing in the magazine Junk, and she remains the most active of the Chambers siblings on social media. In 2016, Kaila joined her father on the red carpet at the 15th Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Brentwood, California.
Eva, Justin’s youngest daughter, was born on March 31, 1999. In high school, she played bass for Pinky Pinky, a garage rock-punk trio she formed with childhood friends Anastasia Sanchez and Isabelle Fields. The band, formed while the girls attended Valor Academy, released their debut album Turkey Dinner in 2019. In a 2017 interview with Office Magazine, Eva shared how the band chose their name: “It’s the name of this South African monster that hurts little girls on the toilet if they wear pink.” As of 2024, the band’s social media accounts are no longer active. Eva, who has a deep love for pop culture, told Vice in 2018 that Britney Spears and Lady Gaga are the pop stars who shaped her life.
Jackson, Justin and Keisha’s youngest child and only son, was born on January 2, 2002. When Jackson was five, Justin revealed on The Rachael Ray Show that his son was getting into tae kwon do. “His personality is really starting to show. We’re spending more time together, taking drives to the beach and just hanging out,” Justin said. Former Grey’s Anatomy costar Sarah Drew fondly remembered Jackson’s visits to the set in 2011, calling him “adorable” in an interview with Hollywood Life. Though Jackson attended some red carpet events in his younger years, including Tommy Hilfiger’s Prep World Pop-Up House in 2011 and John Varvatos’s Stuart House benefit in 2013, he has since stayed largely out of the public eye as an adult.
