Los Angeles, California: Jason Bateman, best known for portraying Martin “Marty” Byrde in a gripping crime drama television series Ozark, and his wife Amanda Anka are parents to two daughters: Francesca Nora Bateman, 17, and Maple Sylvie Bateman, 12.
Their eldest, Francesca, was born in Los Angeles on October 28, 2006, while the youngest, Maple, was born on February 10, 2012.
Hollywood’s funnyman is a busy individual, but he never forgets his priorities in life.
He loves spending time with his daughters. While busy in Hollywood since the 80’s, Bateman frequently engages in fun outings with his bundle of joys.
For instance, he made a rare appearance with Maple at the Lakers game in March 2023.
The father-daughter duo sat courtside, supporting their favorite team in purple.
Similarly, Bateman again made his rare appearance in the crypto.com Arena on November 19, 2023, but this time with his eldest daughter, Francesca.
Daughter-Duo Realizing The Magnitude Of Their Father’s Stardom
While Francesca and Maple have not expressed an interest in acting yet, they’ve come to understand that their father is one of the most in-demand stars in the industry.
On July 26, 2017, Bateman was honored with the 2,616th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Filled with euphoria, he accepted the star, accompanied by his whole family.
Francesca Interested In Her Father’s Work
A few years back, maybe they were too young to understand the stardom of their father; they did not pay much attention to any of his works.
However, they became interested in their father’s career and profession as they grew older.
For instance, back in 2022, the oldest one, Francesca (15 at the time), urged her father to watch arguably one of the best works of her father, Jason, on screen, Ozark.
The father-daughter duo binge-watched episodes 1 and 2 of the show shortly after the series finale aired on Netflix in April 2022.
Showcasing his excitement, Bateman told Entertainment Weekly in May 2022,
“Last night and the night before, my 15-year-old daughter and I sat and watched episode 1 and episode 2 of the show,.” “This is a big deal. I haven’t seen them for five years; she’s never seen the show.“
