Diandra Luker Bio
The parents of Michael Douglas’ ex-wife gave birth to her in the year 1956 on the Island of Majorca, Spain. Her actual date of birth is still a mystery, however, we do know that she was also raised in Spain.
Diandra Luker is the daughter of a well-to-do politician who formerly served the United States. Her father worked as a U.S ambassador to Switzerland and his wife belongs to the Anglo-French ethnicity.
While growing up, the producer used to travel a lot due to the nature of her dad’s job. So, in a bid to allow his daughter to focus fully on her studies, Diandra’s dad sent her to a
Switzerland-based boarding school. Upon completing her studies there, she moved to the United States to study at Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, which is situated in Georgetown.
Her Family
Before things turned sour between Diandra Luker and her ex-husband, she was one lucky woman who lived under the same roof and enjoyed a blissful companionship with her Hollywood heavyweight sweetheart. Though they are no longer together, she is still being cared for by their only child.
Michael and Luker met for the first time when the former was just nineteen years old. The occasion that brought them together was the swearing-in ceremony of the former president of the United States of America, Jimmy Carter. Their love for each other was so strong that the multiple-award-winning screen actor popped the question just two weeks after they started dating.
The Hollywood couple eventually tied the knot in the presence of close friends, well-wishers, and family in the month of March 1977. Their union was blessed the following year with a son they named Cameron Douglas. He was born on the 13th day of December 1978, in the city of Santa Barbara, California.
Cameron, who is a step-brother to Carys Zeta Douglas and Dylan Michael Douglas (Michael’s children with Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones), is currently making waves in the industry as an actor. He has also starred alongside his dad and grandparents in the 2003 comedy-drama movie, It Runs in the Family. Other projects he has participated in include Loaded (2008), The Perfect Beat (2009), Mr. Nice Guy (1997), and Adam & Eve (2005).
In addition to Cameron, Luker has an adopted daughter as well as twin boys with a renowned business mogul with the help of a surrogate mother. The name of the businessman is Zach Hampton Bacon III while her boys were named Hawk and Hudson.
Diandra’s daughter is from Kazakhstan and her name is Imira. She was adopted after Luker’s relationship with Zach came to an end.
