The Aoki family has several members who are famous for their own reasons–Steve Aoki’s sister is not only a stunning model and actress but an admirable mother of four.

Steve Aoki’s sister Devon isn’t quite on his level of fame, but she has a massive following (over 1 million on Instagram) and an impressive track record in her acting and modeling careers. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Devon Aoki has a net worth of $30 million. However, her biggest accomplishment is creating a beautiful family of her own.

Devon Aoki was born on August 10th, 1982 to Hiroaki “Rocky” Aoki and Pamela Hilburger Aoki. Her late father, Rocky Aoki was of Japanese descent and founded the massive restaurant chain enterprise Benihana. On the other hand, Devon’s mom comes from German and English ancestry. So, Devon Aoki’s ethnic background is Japanese, German, and English.

Steve Aoki’s sister Devon is actually his half-sister. The two siblings share a father, Rocky, but were born of different mothers. Steve Aoki’s mother was Rocky’s first wife, Chizuru Kobayashi Aoki. Devon was born to his second wife, whom he was married to for ten years before getting a divorce. Steve Aoki’s sister is five years younger than him. 

Devon was born in New York City but grew up on the opposite coast in Malibu. At age 13, Devon began modeling in what would lead to a lifelong career in the fashion industry. Three years later, still young at age 16, she replaced Naomi Campbell as the face of Versace. She quickly built a legacy as one of the most beloved supermodels in the world at the time. 

Devon Aoki and Steve Aoki recently partnered with Tommy Hilfiger and Pendleton for their ongoing fall campaign. Some of our favorite pieces featured in this iconic collaboration that you can wear to your upcoming outdoor fall or winter festival include the Tommy Hilfiger x Pendleton scarf, stripe beanie,  cropped TH logo puffer jacket, and this classic TH logo puffer jacket.

Not only was Devon a high-profile, international fashion model, but she also took up a career in acting. She appeared in several films including 2 Fast 2 Furious where she played everyone’s favorite, Suki. She also appeared in Sin City, Dead or Alive, and several other films. Around the same time that Devon’s acting and modeling career took off, her brother, Steve began his DJ career, which would also land him with international fame status. Since then, Steve Aoki and his sister Devon have become fan favorites of the family, perhaps, in the eyes of some, even passing Rocky’s celebrated restauranteur status.

With the ongoing Y2K fashion trend still intact, we love this iconic Devon Aoki Suki look from 2 Fast 2 Furious for your next festival outfit inspo.

Despite the fame, fortune, and all of the accolades, Steve Aoki’s sister Devon is most notably a mother of four beautiful children. Together with her husband James Bailey, whom she married in 2011, the retired actress has one son and three daughters. Devon Aoki’s kids’ names (from oldest to youngest) are James Hunter, Alessandra Linville, Eleanor Talitha, and baby Evelyn. 

Devon Aoki’s family is almost too cute to bear. Her husband, James, has light eyes, fair skin, and light brown hair. Combined with her Japanese, German, and English heritage, Devon and James have created future models. They all have light eyes and brown or red hair (Devon claims the red hair is from her side, as she’s a natural redhead.) We can’t forget the dog, either!

I’ve been a part of the dance music scene for nearly a decade and with Exron for more than half of that time. My first event was Diplo’s Mad Decent but these days you’ll find me at Club Space or the Brooklyn Mirage. Some of my top artists are G Jones, Tipper, Of The Trees, and CharlestheFirst. My favorite genres are techno, experimental bass, and ambient but I’ll get down to anything with a beat!
