Mark Ruffalo has a full house with his three kids – Keen, Bella, and Odette. He shares the trio with his wife, Sunrise Coigney Ruffalo, whom he married in 2000. Based on the family photos the parents post on social media now and then, they’re clearly a squad filled with good humor, support, and lots of love!
When the “All the Light We Cannot See” star won for best actor in a limited series or TV movie at the 2021 Golden Globe Awards, his family was 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 Mark.
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,” Mark joked. However, he credited his wife as being a “hero” when it comes to holding down the fort with his kids.
The Ruffalo kids have made some red carpet appearances with their parents, and both Mark and Sunrise have been pretty effusive about them (and their many talents) on social media. Ahead, here’s what to know about Mark’s three kids.

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.” Before 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, Mark 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.”
For Keen’s 22nd birthday, Mark posted a photo of him on Instagram and wrote, “Happy Birthday, Keeno! 22 years and stronger than ever. We are so proud of you.”

Bella Noche Ruffalo
Bella Noche Ruffalo, born on April 12, 2005, is Mark and Sunrise’s second child. In 2022, she attended the “She-Hulk” premiere with her dad and older brother and “The Adam Project” premiere with both of her parents (pictured above). Like her older brother, Bella also has had a cameo in one of her father’s more famous movies: she appears in a crowd scene in “Thor: Ragnarok.”
On her 18th birthday, her mom posted a tribute on Instagram, writing, “Happy 18th birthday to @belladogood. The day of your birth was one of the most magical days of my life and you have been magical ever since. We love you and are so proud of you. You have lived twice your age, and have done it style. #Wisdom.” Mark added on his page, “You live your life like a comet across the sky-burning bright and beautiful. Keep going kid. So proud of you and who you are as you begin your adulthood. Xoxo.”

Odette Ruffalo
Born on 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 post online. In March 2022, Mark shared some art Odette had made for him and wrote, “Odette made this for me. It made me so happy. Any act of kindness from a teenager toward their parent is something that must be celebrated.”
