Mark Ruffalo has a full house with his three teenage children – Keen, Bella, and Odette, whom he has with his wife Sunrise Coigney. Based on the family photos he posts on social media every now and then, it’s clearly one filled with good humour, lots of love, and support!
When the “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” star won for best actor in a limited series or TV movie at the 2021 Golden Globe Awards, his family were right there with him, cheering him on as he made his virtual acceptance speech. But being a family man hasn’t always been easy for Ruffalo.
In a November 2019 interview with People, the actor opened up about balancing fatherhood with his career and activism. “It’s intense. The times when my wife is gone and I’ve had to take care of everything . . . the laundry alone is enough to destroy you,” he joked. However, Ruffalo credited his wife as being a “hero” when it comes to holding down the fort with his kids.
Although the Ruffalo family have never made a big deal out of their privacy, they’ve also managed to quietly keep much of their personal lives under wraps. The family show up for red carpets and big events together, but they’re not sharing every moment of life on social media, either. We might not be privy to a lot of details, but here’s what we do know about each of the three Ruffalo children.

Keen Ruffalo
Born June 19, 2001, Keen Ruffalo is the oldest of the three Ruffalo children. Keen has had a couple of cameos in his father’s movies: he shows up in 2013’s “Begin Again” and again in an uncredited role in 2017’s “Thor: Ragnarok.” Prior to turning his Instagram page private, Keen occasionally shared pictures of his travels, time with friends, and a few sweet (and sometimes snarky) pictures of his family.
Back in 2019, Ruffalo talked to People about what it’s like raising three teenagers. “I like those moments where you’re just chugging along and then, all of a sudden, your kids open up to you, and you have this deep conversation where they express their troubles – it’s hard for them, especially at that age,” he said. “But my kids are way more savvy than I was, man. They’re so engaged in the world.”

Bella Noche Ruffalo
Bella Noche Ruffalo, born April 12, 2005, seems to be the most private out of the three siblings. The teenager doesn’t appear super frequently on her family’s accounts, but she occasionally posts on her own.
Bella’s most notable public appearance so far came in 2015, when she walked the red carpet with her dad in matching tuxes (pictured here). Like her older brother, she also has had a cameo in one of her father’s more famous movies: she appears in a crowd scene in “Thor: Ragnarok.”

Odette Ruffalo
Born Oct. 20, 2007, Odette Ruffalo is the youngest of the three Ruffalo kids. We don’t know a whole lot about Odette, other than the adorable family pictures her parents and her brother post online!
