Dexter Keaton, daughter of the late Diane Keaton, lives a more private lifestyle than her famous mom did, but she was always around to support the late Annie Hall actress. Whether Diane was being recognized with an award or going to a red carpet event, Dexter was by her side, and Diane returned the favor by being there for her child.

In 2020, Dexter announced her engagement with husband Jordan White, and they tied the knot the following year.

Dexter was Adopted by Diane Keaton in 1996

Though Diane has famously dated such stars as Warren Beatty and Al Pacino, she has never been married. Diane, at age 50, started a family by adopting 1-year-old Dexter in 1996. Diane expanded the family in 2001, adopting a 1-year-old Duke, a little brother for Dexter. “Motherhood has completely changed me. It’s just about like the most completely humbling experience that I’ve ever had,” Diane told Film Monthly in 2003. “I’m completely in love with my kids, but I also realize that I have to try and be a better person every day. I have to wake up and say, ‘Okay, use your brain, and not your impulses,’ because all my life, I’ve used my impulses and not my brains, a lot.”

Dexter & Her Husband Got Married in 2021

Dexter and her husband, Jordan White, got engaged in 2021 and officially tied the knot in 2021.

Dexter Is a Hockey & ‘RuPaul’s’ Fan

Diane has allowed her children to grow up out of the spotlight and have a life without the pressures of fame. Dexter is relatively private with her life, but she has shared some insights into her personality on social media. She loves the Los Angeles Kings hockey team, the Los Angeles Clippers NBA squad, and drag queens. Dexter shared a picture of her posing alongside Alaska Thunderf*ck, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season 2, in 2019. Dexter also has filled her IG with pictures of Jordan’s dog, Remy.

Dexter & Her Mom Had a Close Bond

Diane was always proud of her daughter. “It takes everything I have sometimes to not snuggle with Dexter,” she told AARP magazine in 2012. “You know, at 16, you don’t want to be snuggly anymore. Sometimes I can pat her hair. Or if I’m lucky, I get a hug.”

Dexter Stays Away From the Public Eye

Though her late mother was a film icon, Dexter chose to keep a more private lifestyle. She occasionally shares life updates on her Instagram account, including her marriage.
