^{Skylar Astin’s Parents and Siblings}

^{Skylar Astin was born as Skylar Astin Lipstein on September 23, 1987, in New York City. He is the son of Meryl and Barry Lipstein, a garment industry executive. He has two brothers, Jace and Milan, and a sister, Brielle. He grew up in Rockland County, New York, and attended Clarkstown High School North. He later studied at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, but took a leave of absence to join the original cast of Spring Awakening on Broadway.}

^{According to IMDb, his agent suggested he use his middle name Astin as his stage name when he was 15, to be “less specific to one thing”. He said he is not embarrassed or ashamed of his decision.}

^{Skylar Astin’s Marital Status}

^{Skylar Astin married his Pitch Perfect co-star Anna Camp on September 10, 2016, after three years of dating. They met on the set of the musical comedy film in 2012 and got engaged in January 2016. However, their marriage did not last long, as Camp filed for divorce in April 2019, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was finalized in August 2019.}

^{Since then, Skylar Astin has been romantically linked to Lisa Stelly, the ex-wife of Jack Osbourne. They made their relationship Instagram official in July 2020, but have since deleted their photos together. It is unclear if they are still together or not.}

^{Skylar Astin’s Famous Relatives}

^{Multiple rumors and some sketchy websites have claimed that Skylar is related to other celebrities with the Astin last name. Some fans linked Skylar to legendary actor John Astin, who rose to fame in the 1960s as Gomez Addams in The Addams Family TV show. Throughout his life and career, John married three women, including actress Patty Duke.}

^{However, there is no evidence that Skylar and John are related in any way. In fact, John’s real last name is Allen, not Astin. He changed it when he started acting. John has five sons from his marriages: David, Allen, Tom, Mackenzie, and Sean.}

^{Another rumor suggested that Skylar is related to Sean Astin, John’s adopted son and a famous actor himself. Sean is known for his roles in The Goonies, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Stranger Things, and many more. Sean’s biological father is actually Michael Tell, a music promoter and writer. Patty Duke married him briefly in 1970 before divorcing him and marrying John Astin.}

^{Again, there is no proof that Skylar and Sean are related either. They just happen to share a stage name that is not their original surname.}

^Conclusion

^{Skylar Astin is not related to any other famous actors with the same last name. He comes from a Jewish family with roots in Russia and Poland. He has been successful in his own right as an actor and singer, and has no need to rely on any family connections. He is currently working on his new show So Help Me Todd, which will premiere on CBS in 2022.}
