Dylan is the son of Craig Minnette, who resides in Covington, IN as of now. Despite the fact, that Craig is not married to his son’s mother anymore, he maintains close relationships with his son and remains an important part of his life.
Craig Andrew Minnette was born and raised in the USA. He is a big music lover, and it was he, who taught Dylan to love and understand music, even though Minnette Jr. had never taken formal music lessons. Everything he knows about music comes from his father. Craig, in his turn, inherited his love to this kind of art from his grandfather Richard Minnette Sr. The son of Irish immigrants, Richard Sr. formed the band “Dixieland Playboys” with his brothers and sisters, and they went on tours around the USA and presented great music show. Due to his grandfather, Craig started playing the guitar in his kindergarten years. He was a member of the self-made school band too and was paid for his shows, being a six-grade pupil.
Dylan grew up among his father’s guitars, and his aunts and uncles from his father’s side were performers and musicians. His uncle Kent Minnette, for example, is a celebrated drummer. So, music is in Dylan’s genes.
Now Craig proudly watches his son’s attempts to become a famous rock musician. And so does Cami, Craig’s daughter from his second marriage to Karla Minnette. The stepmother praises high the actor and band member Dylan, too.

Date of birth: October 13, 1967
Dylan is closely-knitted with his mother, that’s why he didn’t understand properly his character from “13 Reasons Why” Clay, who was caught by the web of personal problems but didn’t share any of them with his mother.
Robyn Gwyn Maker was born and raised in the USA. Her father got a massive heart attack, being just 38 years old. He has been disabled since then but still he remains the part of her life. She cares about him, and her son Dylan is close with his maternal grandfather (and grandmother) too.
Robyn lives in Granada Hills, California with her son and serves as an executive consultant at the skincare products company “Rodan + Fields”. She is single. Robyn has lots of friends and leads active joyful life. She attends the movie premieres with her son very often. In 2014 she was photographed by Dylan’s side at “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” premiere.
Dylan doesn’t have any full siblings, but he has a younger half-sister from his father’s side. Cami is a cute little girl, who is in her pre-school years (as of 2020). She is real sunshine for her parents and older brother. As you can guess, Dylan is a role model for her.
