What is publicly known about Peter Dinklage’s children?
The Independent reported in 2022 that Dinklage and Schmidt have two children: a daughter born in 2011 and a second child born in 2017. The outlet said the couple had not confirmed either child’s name or the second child’s gender. The Independent’s interview provides those birth-year details.

Parade also reported that Dinklage has two children in 2025, but its description of the second child’s gender differs from the earlier account. Because the couple has not confirmed that detail in the cited reporting, it should not be treated as settled. Parade’s 2025 article corroborates the count.
Why are their names and details private?
Dinklage and Schmidt have kept their children away from public attention. The Irish Times described them as keeping their two children out of view of cameras. The Irish Times interview reflects that privacy.

In a 2015 interview with The Guardian, Dinklage explicitly corrected an online claim about his daughter’s name: “Let me tell you right now: her name is not Zelig.” He did not disclose her actual name. Read the Guardian interview.
