Mattea Angel Backus is the eldest child of actors Christopher Backus and Mira Sorvino. Interest in her comes primarily from her parents’ long careers in film and television rather than from any public role of her own.
Unlike many celebrity children, Mattea has kept a relatively low profile, with only limited personal information available.
Bio and Basic Details
Mattea Angel Backus was born on November 3, 2004. As of 2026, she is 21 years old. She is the oldest of four siblings. Her younger brothers are Johnny Christopher King Backus and Holden Paul Terry Backus, and her youngest sibling is Lucia Backus.
Beyond these basic family details, very little about her early childhood has been shared publicly.
Education and Personal Life
Mattea completed high school in 2022. She is currently attending college, though the name and location of the institution have not been disclosed by her or her parents.
There is no public information about her relationship status. She has not spoken about dating, and nothing on her social media suggests a confirmed relationship. At this stage, she appears focused on her studies and personal life rather than public attention.
Christopher Backus (Father)
Christopher Backus was born on October 30, 1981, in Orange County, California. He has worked steadily as an actor since the early 2000s, appearing in television series and films.
One of his earlier television appearances was on CSI: Miami in 2002. Over the years, he has built a career through supporting and recurring roles rather than leading parts, maintaining a consistent presence in the industry.
He has been married to Mira Sorvino since 2004.
Mira Sorvino (Mother)
Mira Sorvino was born on September 28, 1967, in New York City. She is the daughter of late actor Paul Sorvino and is best known for her role in Mighty Aphrodite (1995), which earned her an Academy Award.
She studied East Asian Studies at Harvard University before training at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. Over the years, she has appeared in a wide range of films and television projects, balancing acting with family life.
Mira Sorvino is 14 years older than Christopher Backus, a detail often noted publicly but one they have never framed as significant.
Social Media Presence
Mattea Angel Backus is active on Instagram under the username @matteaabackus. Her account features personal photos, family moments, and travel images, including trips within the United States and Europe.
Her social media presence is modest compared to influencer-level accounts and appears to be used mainly for personal sharing rather than public branding.
What Can Be Confirmed
Mattea Angel Backus is not a public figure in her own right. There is no confirmed acting work, modeling career, or media project associated with her as of now. Any future plans remain private.
At present, she is best described as a college student and the eldest child of two well-known actors, with a deliberately limited public footprint.
