Christian Slater and Wife Brittany Welcome Their Second Baby

Christian Slater and his wife, Brittany Lopez, have joyously added a new member to their family. According to PEOPLE, the Heathers star, aged 54, and his 35-year-old wife welcomed a son in July. However, further details, such as the baby’s name, have not been disclosed.

The couple already shares a 4-year-old daughter, born in 2019. Slater is also a father to daughter Eliana, 22, and son Jaden, 25, with his ex-wife Ryan Haddon. The True Romance actor and Lopez had announced their new family addition while walking the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of Unfrosted in April. Lopez showcased her baby bump in a floral gown during the event.

Slater has spoken candidly about fatherhood in the past. During a 2019 appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, he revealed that parenting had become “complicated” since his older children were born. He humorously mentioned, “I thought your kid could get a couple of germs and be fine, build up the immune system. But now you have to wash everything. The bottles break down into eight different pieces, and it’s a puzzle you have to put together. I got dish gloves on, I’m just washing these bottles.”

Slater and Lopez married in December 2013 in a private wedding at a courthouse near Miami, after first meeting in 2010. The Mr. Robot actor recounted their meeting while chatting with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. He described it as a charming and quirky moment while he was eating oatmeal in his “usual spot” and noticed Lopez with an older woman.

“So I’m a filthy old man eating my oatmeal, and she comes walking along. This spot, I guess, was famous for people proposing to each other, actually. It was very, very nice. So she’s there with this old lady and, next thing I know, she gets down on one knee and proposes to this older lady,” Slater recalled. “I’d seen a lot of crazy stuff down in the Florida Keys! I, of course, was very intrigued, and I went over and sat down in my other usual spot.”

He continued, “I thought I’d just witnessed a nice lesbian engagement, so I was coming over to say congratulations. But it turns out it was her aunt, and she was just trying to help her aunt capture the beauty and the romance of the park. … The next thing I knew, we were hanging out in the Everglades.”
