Early life Lisa Deanna Rinna Hamlin was born July 11, 1963, in Newport Beach, California, to Lois Irene (née DeAndrade) and Frank Rinna. She is of Portuguese and Italian descent. Before Lisa's birth, her mother was brutally attacked by American serial killer David Carpenter, with whom she had worked. Lois was saved by a military police officer, who followed Carpenter's car after it went in a prohibited area. When Lisa was seven, her older half-sister Laurene died. During that same year, her family relocated to Medford, Oregon, when her father was transferred there for job-related reasons, and she spent the remainder of her childhood there. Rinna graduated from North Medford High School in 1981.

1984–1999: Career beginnings and early work in soap opera After graduating from high school, Rinna moved to San Francisco to pursue a career as a model. She started her career by appearing in commercials and believed she obtained her SAG card "doing a Mervyn's commercial". At age 21, Rinna appeared in the music video for John Parr's single "Naughty Naughty," as the passenger in Parr's car. Rinna later made her television debut appearing as the girlfriend of Jason Bateman's character in several episodes of The Hogan Family in 1990. Rinna achieved her breakthrough in 1992, after she landed the role of Billie Reed in the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives. Her portrayal of Billie earned her the award for Outstanding Female Newcomer at the 1994 Soap Opera Digest Awards. In 1995, she and Robert Kelker-Kelly won the award for Hottest Soap Couple at the 1995 Soap Opera Digest Awards. She departed from Days the same year. She transitioned into primetime television in 1996, portraying Taylor McBride on the Aaron Spelling-produced soap opera Melrose Place until 1998. In 1998, Rinna, while six months pregnant with her first daughter, posed nude for the Playboy magazine pictorial "Melrose Mom," (its title paid tribute to her role in Melrose Place) for the September issue. She later recounted the instructions given to her by Playboy photographer Deborah Anderson: "'I do not want you long and sinewy and angular and muscular. I want you soft...' This was really hard for me because being 35 years old and posing for Playboy, you want to amp it up." Through the late 1990s, Rinna appeared in a series of television films, including Lifetime's Sex, Lies & Obsession opposite her husband Harry Hamlin, based on Hamlin's real life sex addiction and alcoholism.

Lisa Rinna's Children: 2 Daughters

Delilah Belle Hamlin, born June 10, 1998, is Lisa Rinna's elder daughter. Now 28, Delilah has worked as a model and actress, appearing in campaigns and on screen, and she made her acting debut in the Lifetime movie How She Caught a Killer in 2023. She has also spoken openly about her health struggles, including a childhood PANDAS diagnosis that caused severe anxiety — candor her mother has publicly supported.

Amelia Gray Hamlin, born June 13, 2001, is 25 and arguably the most famous of the two sisters right now. A fixture of fashion weeks in New York, Paris, and Milan, Amelia has walked for designers including Versace and Balenciaga and fronted major beauty campaigns. Her high-profile relationship with Scott Disick in 2020–2021 made her a tabloid staple, but her modeling career has outlasted the headlines.

Rinna famously posed nude for Playboy in 1998 while six months pregnant with Delilah — the 'Melrose Mom' pictorial that paid tribute to her Melrose Place role. She has said she wanted to celebrate pregnancy publicly, a decision that now reads as an early statement of the body-confidence she tried to model for her daughters.

As a mother of two daughters now in their late twenties, Rinna, 63, has described the current chapter as the reward years — watching Delilah and Amelia build independent careers while the family remains famously close. The Hamlins still do holidays, red carpets, and plenty of Instagram cameos together.

Lisa Rinna's Marriage to Harry Hamlin

Lisa Rinna married actor Harry Hamlin — best known for L.A. Law and Clash of the Titans — in 1997. Approaching their 30th anniversary, they are one of Hollywood's longest-lasting couples, a fact Rinna has joked about often: in an industry of short marriages, theirs is an outlier.

The couple has worked together repeatedly, including the reality series Harry Loves Lisa (2010), which gave viewers a look at their family life with then-teenage Delilah and Amelia. They also co-owned the Belle Gray clothing boutique in Sherman Oaks from 2011 to 2012.

Rinna has credited humor, separate bathrooms, and genuine friendship for the marriage's longevity. Hamlin, for his part, has said Rinna's energy keeps him young. Together they raised Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray largely in Los Angeles, and both daughters remain close to their parents — a family unit that has survived reality TV, tabloids, and three decades of Hollywood.
