With his quiet gravitas and all-American good looks, actor Gabriel Basso gained plenty of fans with Netflix's adaptation of the popular novel The Night Agent, which premiered its first season in March 2023.
It's no surprise that viewers have been interested in learning more about the handsome star — including who is wife is (if he's even married) and if he has kids.
While we're on the subject of Gabriel, we're diving into the other movies and TV shows you've seen Gabriel Basso in before. Here is everything to know.
Does Gabriel Basso have a wife and kids?
One look through Gabriel Basso's social media presence indicates that as of right now, there's no special someone in his life. Yes, that means Gabriel is not currently married. Gabriel does, however, have a daughter.
In August 2020, the actor announced the news on Instagram with a picture and a caption that said, “There’s a new Basso on the planter."
Since then, he's posted sweet pictures of him and daughter, and he even joked in a caption, "Always keep yourself guessing so that your enemies and rivals wont have any idea what your next move will be. Always wear your gi. And always possess wrist control when addressing a toddler."
These days, Gabriel reserves his Instagram account mostly for content displaying his boxing skills and photos of him spending time outdoors. Seeing that the actor has kept his personal life under wraps, it's unclear who his daughter's mother is.
A look at Gabriel Basso's TV show and movie roles.
Gabriel Basso on 'The Big C'
Basso got his start on the small screen with guest-starring roles on Ghost Town, iCarly, Eastwick, The Middle, and R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour.
He later starred opposite Laura Linney as her son, Adam, in Showtime's The Big C.
Gabriel Basso also starred in J.J. Abrams 2011 cult classic 'Super 8.'
Gabriel Basso starred as Martin in 2011's Super 8 alongside Emmy-nominated actress Elle Fanning and Emmy winner Kyle Chandler of Friday Night Lights fame. The movie was director J.J. Abrams' homage to his film hero, Steven Spielberg, who also executively produced the movie.
The film followed the adventures of a group of friends during the summer of 1979 as they tried to make a movie on — you guessed it — Super 8 film. But while filming, they witness a catastrophic train crash that may or may not have been an accident.
Unusual disappearances and unexpected events ensue, and the gang along with fellow townspeople try to race against the clock to figure out what exactly is happening.
Is Gabriel Basso an artist? He does have an artistic side.
The Kings of Summer actor is a talented illustrator and musician.
"I’m an artist. So if acting doesn’t work out, which I hope it does, I’m probably going to go into graphic design or something like that," he told Interview magazine in 2011.
"I’ve always been into music; I’ve played violin for nine years," he said. "I love sports — if I’m not acting, I’m probably doing sports. I wish I could play the World Cup, that’s one of my dreams. But if acting doesn’t work out, I guess I have a lot of things going for me that I’d have to go to college for."
His former co-star Keanu Reeves bought his artwork and hung up some of Gabriel's pieces in his house. On Instagram, Gabriel remarked, "My art officially adorns the halls of a legend. Much love to this man for trusting me with a pen."
