Stapler garnered recognition through her performances in several TV series in the 1990s. Aside from her stellar career, Stapler rose to prominence after her life became intertwined with that of actor Alfonso Ribeiro, known for his role as Carlton Banks on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

The former couple were together for four years before parting ways, pursuing individual endeavors in life. However, fans of the renowned actress remain curious about her life and marriage to “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” actor. Here’s what we know.

Who Is Alfonso Ribeiro’s Wife, Robin Stapler?

Robin Stapler was born Robin Michele Stewart on September 21, 1972, in the United States of America. She is a former British-American actress famous for her role in the TV series, “In the House.”

While her roots may lie in England, the 51-year-old former actress spent most of her early life in the United States of America. Consequently, she holds American citizenship. Despite being a renowned actress, Stapler keeps details about her early life private.

However, Stapler’s parents relocated to the United States before she was born. Although their identity remains a mystery, the former actress has always been open about her gratitude for their hard work.

According to reports, she shares close ties with her family, especially with her younger brother, Dennis Steward. While many details about Stapler’s formative years elude the media, reports suggest she developed a passion for acting at a young age.

When Did Robin Stapler Start Her Career?

According to reports, Alfonso Ribeiro’s first wife landed her first significant role when she was only 19 years old. She reportedly appeared in a short film, “The Disco Years,” where she played Denise. Afterward, she appeared in several other projects. 

Although she has a relatively small filmography, Robin Stapler left her mark in the entertainment industry. She appeared in notable roles in popular television shows like “Star Trek: Voyager” (1995), “Martin” (1992), and “Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction” (1997).

However, Stapler is more than just an actress. After retiring from acting, she ventured into entrepreneurship by founding RipFix, a brand dedicated to healing blisters, calluses, and skin rips. The origins of RipFix trace back to a mother’s concern for her gymnast daughter’s hands, which suffered the toll of rigorous training and skin injuries.

When Did Alfonso Ribeiro and Robin Stapler Tie the Knot?

Robin Stapler and her then-husband’s love story began in 1999 on the set of the series “In the House.” Their relationship blossomed rapidly, and they eventually tied the knot in 2002. The then-new couple had an intimate wedding ceremony with their friends and family in attendance.

However, after four years of marriage, they decided to part ways. Stapler’s ex-husband filed for divorce in 2006, citing irreconcilable differences and agreeing to share joint custody of their only daughter.

Years after their divorce, Ribeiro found love again and entered a long-lasting relationship with Angela Unkrich. According to reports, Ribeiro and Urkich met in 2011 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills and tied the knot in 2012 shortly after their engagement.

Since their wedding, Urkich and the former “Fresh Prince” star Alfonso Ribeiro have attended various events together, walking red carpets. In addition, they participated in tapings of “Dancing with the Stars,” a show that Ribeiro previously co-hosted.

However, Robin Stapler, on the other hand, has kept a low profile. After they finalized their divorce in 2007, the actress has not shared details regarding her personal life. However, she is active on social media, frequently sharing glimpses of her life. Her Instagram page often showcases her enjoying vacations or sharing cheerful moments with her close friends and loved ones.

How Many Children Does Stapler and Her Ex-Husband Have?

Robin Stapler and her ex-husband have a child together. The former couple welcomed their daughter, Sienna Ribeiro, on October 8, 2002. Their shared affection for Sienna is evident as both parents have expressed profound pride and admiration for her. Ribeiro characterizes Sienna as intelligent and beautiful, among other flattering attributes. 

Similarly, Stapler often takes to Instagram to convey her deep affection for her daughter. The stunning actress portrays her as a determined and exceptionally talented individual. However, Stapler’s most notably touching Instagram post about her daughter was when she graduated high school in June 2021. The proud mom expressed how proud she was of her daughter.

Although young, Robin Stapler’s daughter has carved a path reminiscent of her parents. She ventured into acting with her debut role in the 2002 film “Deadly Cheers.” Beyond acting, Sienna has enthusiastically embraced the world of social media, notably on TikTok. On her Instagram profile, the celebrity kid identifies herself as an actor. She also shares her talent for dancing on the platform.

Like rapper Offset’s daughter,  Kalea Marie Cephus, Sienna regards Angela Unkrich, her father’s new wife, as a beloved maternal figure.
