His second marriage to actress Elizabeth Baldwin was short-lived, and resulted in 13-year-old daughter Alexandra.... Daniel also had a relationship with actress Isabella Hoffman, whom he met on the set of 'Homicide: Life on the Street.' They never married, but in 1996 Hoffman gave birth to Atticus.
