Fun Facts: 5 Things You Didn’t Know About Robin Stapler
Check out these five facts about Robin Stewart/Stapler!
1. She Started Acting at 19

Robin Stewart is best known for her role as Alixia in Star Trek: Voyager 1997. And she was pretty young when that episode was filmed. I’d say 25 years old or so, but that wasn’t her first role—not even remotely.
In reality, she has been acting since 1991. Her first credited role is in Robert Lee King’s short film The Disco Years. Between those roles, Stewart managed to squeeze appearances on Boogies Diner, Smart Guy, Martin, and Diagnosis Murder.
2. She First Met Ribeiro on Set
One of the TV series in Robin Stapler’s filmography is In the House. And guess who starred in that show? Bingo! That would be Alfonso Ribeiro.
Stewart and Ribeiro started dating around 1999. Then, they married in early 2002 and welcomed a baby girl later that year.
However, the lovebirds didn’t stay together very long. They filed their divorce papers in 2006 and decided to share joint custody of their daughter, who was only 3 years old at the time.
3. Her Daughter, Sienna, Is a TikTok Sensation
Sienna didn’t fall far from the show-biz tree.
She’s already got her first acting gig (see the 2022 thriller Deadly Cheers) and has built a following on social media.
Side Note: Sienna made it into LMU, and Robin couldn’t be more proud!
4. Her Firstborn Is Now a Surgeon
I knew from the get-go that Stapler and Alfonso had a kid together. I also had an idea about Ribeiro getting remarried and having more kids with his second wife.
What I didn’t know was that Robin had another daughter. Around 1988, she gave birth (sans drugs, might I add) to Stevie-Jay “SJ” Stapler, who is now a surgeon.
5. She’s a Fitness Educator and an Entrepreneur
Stewart has been into fitness and gymnastics since she was a little girl.
Today, she’s a certified specialist. She has her brand (RipFix) of blister balms and liquid grip chalk.
What Is Life Like for Robin?
Robin Stewart/Stapler is still getting the occasional acting gig. She just did a part in the 2024 drama Transplant.
However, she seems much more focused on fitness and spending time with her extended family. She constantly updates friends and fans on her Instagram account.
