Ron Perlman Kids: Get to Know Daughter Blake and Son Brandon

Ron Perlman is known for playing some intimidating characters in movies like Hellboy and Beauty and the Beast, but in real life, he’s a big softie for his two kids. The Sons of Anarchy alum is the dedicated and loving dad of daughter Blake Perlman and son Brandon Perlman.

Ron shares his children with his estranged wife, Opal Perlman, whom he married in 1981. Although fans thought the Pacific Rim actor and Opal would be together forever, he shocked the world when he filed for divorce from his longtime wife in November 2019.

His request for the dissolution of their marriage, which cited irreconcilable differences as the cause, People reported, came just months after Ron was first spotted kissing former StartUp costar Allison Dunbar six months earlier in May. “They definitely seem like an item,” an onlooker told In Touch Weekly at the time.

“[They were] very touchy-feely,” the source added, noting Ron even had his hand on his Allison’s lap at one point during the meal and he “wasn’t wearing a wedding ring.” Even though Ron and Opal’s divorce has yet to be finalized, the star and Allison have been seriously dating, and by the looks on social media, it appears they’ve even moved in together.

Before news made headlines that Ron officially filed for divorce, a source suggested to In Touch that he and Opal had “what seems like an open relationship.” According to the insider, “Everyone thought Ron and his wife lived very separate lives.”

Fans even wondered if there was more to Ron and Allison’s relationship after the blonde beauty shared a photo with him and his daughter, Blake, in February 2018.

“The Perlmans and the Dunbars,” the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend actress captioned a photo of her, Ron and Blake eating dinner at a fancy restaurant in Cleveland, Ohio. “Two dynasties collide over the avocado salad. Love my new friends a lot.”

Since then, Blake has been featured on his dad’s girlfriend’s Instagram a few times. “Din din with my girl @blake_perlman,” Allison captioned a pic of the two out to dinner, while she also uploaded a photo of the duo wearing matching jackets. “TBT: The Jean Team. Decked in denim and searching for grilled cheese,” Allison penned.

Blake Perlman

Ron and Opal became parents for the first time when they welcomed their only daughter, Blake, on January 7, 1984. Blake stayed out of her father’s spotlight until she began her own career as an actress around 2008.

At the time, Blake appeared in her dad’s film, Hellboy II: The Golden Army. Her other major projects include Archer in 2009, Hand of God in 2014 and Pottersville in 2017, according to IMDb. Besides acting, Blake also pursued a career in singing. In fact, she was the lead vocalist for the song “Drift,” which also happened to be the theme song of the 2013 film Pacific Rim.

As Ron’s only little girl, Blake shares a great relationship with her famous father. For her latest birthday in 2021, the doting dad uploaded a sweet tribute for Blake. “Happiest of birthdays to the one and only, the only one, apple of my eye, my firstborn and a girl who makes my heart soar!” he gushed.

Brandon Avery Perlman

Ron and Opal welcomed their only son, Brandon Avery, on March 29, 1990. Talent must run in the Perlman family considering Brandon — who also goes by his stage name Delroy Edwards — moved to NYC when he was 18 to pursue a career in music. According to his SoundCloud biography, Brandon left L.A. to work with producers at A1 Records.

Just three years after he moved to NYC, Brandon released his first-ever EP titled 4 Club Use Only. Now, he is an accomplished music artist and the founder of the record label L.A. Club Resource.

Like his older sister, Brandon is extremely close to his dad. “If I had written a letter to God telling him all the things I wanted in a son, I still couldn’t have gotten anything as beautiful as the one God gave me,” Ron penned via Instagram for his son’s birthday in March 2020. “Happy birthday, Brandon!”
