TheGrey’s Anatomystar and his wife, Keisha Chambers, have been married since 1993. They share five adult children, daughters Isabella, 30, Maya, 27, Kaila, 27, and Eva, 25 and son Jackson, 23. Though the kids mostly grew up in Los Angeles, they traveled back and forth between the West Coast and New York City, where the Chambers family also had a home.
“Being a parent is great. It’s hard work, but fun,” he told PEOPLE in 2008. “Love and enjoy your children, but at the same time, be sure to call them out on their crap. I’m not afraid to call them on their character.”
Now, the actor’s five children are all grown up, with his oldest child, Isabella, turning 30 in December. “That’s a big milestone,” Chambers told PEOPLE at the 25th Annual Women’s Image Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif. in February 2024.
He also described his four daughters as “very independent, levelheaded, kind,” adding, “I’m very blessed, very grateful.”

Chambers and Keisha welcomed twin daughters, Maya and Kaila, on June 4, 1997. Maya was about 8 years old when their dad started onGrey’s Anatomy, so her dad’s appearance on the show was normal for her and her siblings.
“They were at such a young age when we started, they don’t really know much,” Chambers toldE! Newsin 2019 of his time on the hit ABC drama. “They’re very happy for, hey, I’m paying for college. [The norm] is that I’m onGrey’s Anatomy.“When his costar Camilla Ludington asked if his kids thought he “was cool,” he immediately responded, “No. And nor should your child think their parent is too cool.”
Maya graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in printmaking in 2019. She currently works as a printmaker and tattoo artist and showcases work from both mediumson her website.

They played together while high school students at Valor Academy, and their debut full-length album,Turkey Dinner, dropped in June 2019. Eva toldOffice Magazinein 2017 that they had gone through “a ton of band names” before settling on Pinky Pinky, which “is the name of this South African monster that hurts little girls on the toilet if they wear pink.” As of 2024, none of the band’s social media accounts are active.
Eva shared some of herfavorite contemporary artistswithVicein 2018, saying,“The pop stars who changed my life are probablyBritney SpearsandLady Gaga. I still think they’re the best.”

Jackson is Chambers' youngest child and only son. He was born on Jan. 2, 2002.
When Jackson was 5, Chambers told theRachael Ray Showaudience that his son was getting into tae kwon do. “His personality’s starting to come, so we’re starting to do things, just take him in the car and ride around and go to the beach,” theBroken Cityactor said at the time.
Chambers' formerGrey’s Anatomycostar, Sarah Drew, said in 2011 that the proud dad would sometimesbring Jackson to set. “He’s so adorable,” she toldHollywood Life.
Jackson joined his family at a few red carpet events when he was younger, including outings at Tommy Hilfiger’s Prep World Pop-Up House in Los Angeles in June 2011 and John Varvatos’s 10th Annual Stuart House benefit event in L.A. in March 2013. As an adult, Jackson has largely stayed out of the spotlight.
