Dr. Mehmet Oz has certainly had an interesting career in the public eye. In 2004, Dr. Oz first appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" as a medical expert, and quickly became a household name. Of course, the physician eventually got his own hit series, "The Dr. Oz Show," which lasted from 2009 to 2022. However, Dr. Oz pivoted his focus to politics – the TV medic ran for a Senate seat in Pennsylvania in 2022, but inevitably lost that election.

Dr. Oz isn't the only member of his family to be living their life in the spotlight though. The TV doctor has been married to author and TV/radio host Lisa Oz since 1985. The couple not only worked together on TV over the years, but welcomed four children between 1986 and 1999, who are Daphne, Arabella, Zoe, and Oliver Oz. Despite his impressive career, Dr. Oz told "First Class Fatherhood" that nothing quite changed his life like becoming a dad did. "I never loved anything quite like that ... it's a different kind of love. You'd happily give your life for your child," he explained. Lisa appears to feel the same way. As she once wrote on Instagram, "There is no greater love than a mothers love."

Nevertheless, the Oz children are now all grown up and have fascinating lives of their own, that include professional and personal successes outside of their parents' shadow. So let's meet Dr. Oz and Lisa Oz's four kids, Daphne, Arabella, Zoe, and Oliver.

When it comes to Dr. Mehmet Oz and Lisa Oz's kids, fans are probably the most familiar with their eldest daughter, Daphne Oz, as she followed in their footsteps with her own TV career. The chef/host did appear on her father's series, "The Dr. Oz Show" over the years, but really made a name for herself when she joined the hit daytime show, "The Chew" in 2011. She even won an Emmy for the show, beating out her dad. Daphne later gave him some credit though, by telling People, "My parents have taught all of their children that if you're going to bother doing anything, you should do it the best you can."

After "The Chew" ended in 2018, Daphne went on to host the short-lived food/talk show, "The Good Dish" in 2022. Around that time, she appeared as a judge on "MasterChef Junior" too. She explained to Parade, "I am able to bring that range as an eater and cook that is, I think, approachable."

Like her mom and dad, Daphne has also authored several books, focusing on recipes and lifestyle advice. These days, it's safe to say that Daphne is making waves as an influencer though, thanks to her massive following on Instagram, as well as her popular blog and YouTube channel. In terms of her career now, Daphne told WWD, "My wheelhouse is so clearly about the joy and pleasure of cooking, makeup, beauty, style, parenting, and womanhood."

It's safe to say that Daphne Oz is celebrated for using her platform to promote body positivity and a healthy lifestyle. While most of the Oz family has seemingly made their careers out of health, Daphne, in particular, has been open about how she's struggled with her weight in the past. She's also noted that she's been a variety of different sizes, which made her love of fashion a challenge.

After Daphne had her fourth child in 2020, she lost 50 pounds when she became a WW ambassador. At the time, she told E! News that she was "super excited to feel good in my skin and be on this journey with so many of the people that follow me on social media." Daphne still shares WW recipes on her Instagram, as well as daily workout tips on her blog.

However, this doesn't mean that Daphne promotes a diet culture either. In fact, her book "Eat Your Heart Out" is full of recipes that help people eat clean without any major food restrictions. She also uses social media to promote body confidence, by sharing bikini photos and preaching about acceptance. "I always hoped this would be a corner of the internet that would be first and foremost about confidence: feeling good in your skin," she wrote in a 2023 Instagram caption, adding, "It's become a place where ... we help each other see ourselves where we are."

Like her dad and mom, Daphne Oz is married and a parent to four children. The former "Mom Brain" host tied the knot with her husband, financial analyst John Jovanovic, in 2010 after they met at Princeton University. They later welcomed their first child, daughter Philomena, in 2014, and then had their son Jovan Jr., a little over a year later. They expanded their family again in 2017, when their second daughter, Domenica, was born, and later welcomed their youngest, Giovanna, in 2019.

Despite their full house, Jovanovic expressed the benefits of finding alone time with Daphne. "Having parents who are happy really makes for a happy bond with the children," Jovanovic explained to Us Weekly. As for Daphne, she seemingly has really taken to being a mother, despite its many challenges. One of those was finding a way to balance motherhood with her busy career. She even told Motherly, "I'm constantly in search of this balance where when I'm out of the home ... I'm 100% on, so that when I'm home I get to be 100% mom."

Daphne has also incorporated her family into her work in a way, since she often posts about them on her popular Instagram and has gotten them involved with her cooking too. She told People, "It's really important to me that my kids get to have that same memory with me of getting in the kitchen, making a little mess ... experimenting, having fun."

Dr. Mehmet Oz and Lisa Oz's second daughter, Arabella Oz, had her own small brush with fame, having acted in several films and TV series since 2015. She most notably appeared in the 2017 horror movie "Jigsaw" and the 2018 drama "Billionaire Boys Club." Arabella originally had planned on working behind the scenes, even studying filmmaking at Columbia University. Yet she later somewhat stumbled into acting after she took a class on it in order to communicate better as a director, and ended up actually enjoying performing.

Arabella went on to make headlines in 2016 when she starred in her first feature film, "When the Starlight Ends," alongside "Outlander" star Sam Heughan. Reflecting on the project, she told The Hollywood Reporter, "The days were long and the shoot was long but I loved every moment of it." Arabella even went outside of her comfort zone by shooting a skinny dipping scene for the film.

Dr. Oz was also very encouraging of Arabella's brief acting career and showed his support by attending a 2017 film festival in Boca Raton, Florida, where she had a movie showing. There he raved about her talents, telling the South Florida SunSentinel, "She's the kindest of my kids and taps into deeper emotions."

For the most part, Arabella Oz seems to have put the entertainment industry behind her as she began working as a therapist. The actor-turned-counselor often writes about her approach to therapy on social media, and has been very open with her followers about her true feelings on mental health and healing traumas. With that said, Arabella appears to use social media very differently than her siblings, because she doesn't really post about her personal life. However, she did admit in a 2023 Instagram post that she has the urge to share her creative musings online. "Being a therapist AND having a public family, I'm always aware of how transparent/free I can be," Arabella explained. "Right now the deeper feeling is a desire for more self-expression."

Arabella's father, Dr. Mehmet Oz, has made it clear that he's proud of her career change because she's contributing to the greater good. In a birthday tribute he posted on Facebook in 2020, he gushed that his daughter was "working as a therapist and guiding people through our turbulent times. Her kindness and profound insights have brought joy into our lives."

Some women worry that their parents won't like their partner, but Arabella Oz did not appear to have this issue. The actress-turned-therapist wed cellist, Nicholas Canellakis, in 2024 — and the Oz family could not have seemed more approving of the match. As if to prove this point, Dr. Mehmet Oz himself congratulated the newlyweds by sharing some photos of their wedding on Instagram. In the caption of his post, the physician wrote, "Every father dreams of walking his daughter down the aisle to marry Prince Charming. The iconic fairy tale has come true for our family ... again! @arabellasoz has met her creative match in world class cellist @nick.canellakis_cellist."

While these words were clearly quite complimentary, Dr. Oz did not apparently feel that they were expressive enough. A month after making the original wedding announcement, the proud papa returned to Instagram to shower even more praise upon his daughter. This time, he shared an album of adorable wedding photos — most of which were candid. He captioned the pictures, "We had the joy of looking around and seeing a life well lived with important decisions made in favor of elevating all of us. She invited friends and family who are trying to do the same and investing in the betterment of themselves and everyone else in our community."

Dr. Mehmet Oz and Lisa Oz's third daughter, Zoe Oz, hasn't worked in show business like her parents or older sisters, but she has found success in the tech industry. She works for the startup Bilt Rewards, which is a loyalty program based on rent payments becoming rewards points. As chief marketing officer, she creates original campaigns to promote the company.

Zoe's business is booming too, considering that in 2022, Bloomberg reported that Bilt Rewards (a Kairos company) was worth $1.5 billion. Because of that, it can be safely assumed that Zoe has accomplished her goal of having a successful career. When asked about Dr. Oz's achievements back in 2012, Zoe told Your Teen Mag, "My dad's success can be intimidating, but it also inspires and drives me. I want to impress him." Between her degree from Harvard University and a lucrative career, we bet he's impressed.

From the looks of Zoe's Instagram, she seemingly enjoys her job at Bilt Rewards, too. In 2021, she shared photos of herself at an event for the company where she expressed gratitude for her profession in the caption. "I still feel a little like I'm dreaming. it has been such an incredible experience so far and I can't wait to see where it goes from here," Zoe wrote on Instagram.

Just because Zoe Oz never had her own show or starred in a movie doesn't mean she hasn't experienced the limelight in her own way. For Zoe, that seems to happen on social media where she has become somewhat of an Instagram influencer. She has what looks to be a perfectly curated feed that focuses on her fashion, home decor, travel, and her overall envy-inducing life in New York City. She also boasts over 13,000 followers.

When it comes to being an influencer, Zoe doesn't seem to take herself too seriously. She even joked in the caption of a selfie on Instagram, "so excited for the 'so you're trying to be an influencer now?' comments!" It does appear that creating glamorous content would be a natural next step for her though, considering Zoe works in marketing, and has a background in fashion, too, having interned at the clothing brand, Theory. 

Like her sister, Daphne Oz, Zoe has also shared videos of her cooking, and has been open about aspects of her personal life in her captions. For instance, when reflecting on her birthday in 2022, she gave her followers a few updates on her past year, writing, "I bought my first home. I made huge changes in my personal life. I saw my family grow closer through adversity. I felt massive highs and lows professionally" (via Instagram).

Zoe Oz's professional life is not the only thing keeping her busy. The Harvard grad and chief marketing officer at Bilt Rewards, operated by Kairos, has also maintained a very active family life. In December 2023, her father, Dr. Mehmet Oz, announced that Zoe had gotten engaged to Kairos co-founder, Alex Fiance. As Dr. Oz wrote on X, Zoe "gave the family the great news that she is engaged to her boyfriend, Alex Fiance. As her palindrome name suggests, she is very well balanced, so I am especially grateful that she has met a perfect fiancé in Alex...in more than one way!"

As if this news was not already exciting enough, Zoe and Alex welcomed their first baby, Ozzie, in May 2024. At the time of the baby's birth, Dr. Oz shared his joy at the news by posting a photograph of himself and his wife, Lisa Oz, coddling the newborn on Instagram. In the caption, the celebrity doctor wrote, "Grandparents are doubly blessed by the joy of our children and their children. We are so happy for Zoe and her beautiful growing family."

Dr. Mehmet Oz won't be the only doctor in the family for long, as his youngest kid, Oliver Oz, is on his way to becoming a physician. The Harvard University graduate has been attending medical school since 2021. "So excited to be entering the class of 2025 at Columbia Vagelos P&S. Got me a snazzy new coat too," he wrote on Instagram next to a photo of him wearing a lab coat. Oliver has given updates on his life as an aspiring doctor since then, like when he shared a silly TikTok about the goings on in his med school apartment.

Oliver has other interests though, which according to his social media, looks to be spending time with animals, especially on his family's Pennsylvania farm. He even refers to himself as a "Novice Farmer" in his Instagram bio, and has shared several photos posing with cows, goats, and horses. Alongside a photo of him and his dog, Oliver wrote on Instagram, "I think the PA farm life suits me." Nonetheless, Oliver apparently does leave his med school apartment and farm for some traveling too, as Dr. Oz's son has posted about his adventures all over the world, from Switzerland to France.

Oliver also appears to be very into fishing, posting multiple photos of his catches – a hobby he seems to shares with his famous dad. 

If you follow Oliver Oz on Instagram, then you probably noticed that his wife, Katie Ballantine Flinn, is heavily featured on his feed. The couple have been together since at least 2021, and in 2022, they got engaged. Oliver has made it clear how smitten he is with Ballantine Flinn in many of his captions.

Oliver and Ballantine Flinn went on to have an engagement party in September 2022, before they tied the knot a year later in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. The ceremony was held in a church, and the reception took place under a large tent enhanced with decorative lights. Oliver shared a photo and video from the celebration online, which showed him dancing to a live band with his other half.

Oliver's sister, Daphne Oz, also shared some photos of the big day, and revealed that she and her sisters, Arabella and Zoe Oz, gave a speech. In another Instagram photo she posted of the happy couple, Daphne gushed, "Cannot believe my baby brother is married, and to the girl of his dreams!!" Their dad, Dr. Mehmet Oz, was just as thrilled for his son and new daughter-in-law. In his own Instagram post about the wedding, he wrote, "A parent's greatest joy is seeing our children make wise decisions based on the right values, and Oliver has done that by marrying his perfect match."

Dr. Mehmet Oz and Lisa Oz's four kids sure seem to get along swimmingly. After Oliver Oz's wedding weekend, Daphne Oz posted an Instagram photo of the siblings and their respective spouses hamming it up for the camera together. Zoe Oz has also shared multiple photos with her siblings. In one Instagram post, she reflected on all of the pictures they've taken over years that display their similar yet different personalities. "It's a special thing to have family members that also feel like best friends," Zoe wrote.

Even Arabella Oz, who doesn't have a lot up on her Instagram feed, created a reel of a vacation that she took  with her siblings in Maine. Zoe seemingly posted from the same trip and gave her sister photo credit. Oliver has also shared adventures with his sisters, like when he and Daphne went to Alaska, or when the family was in Spain. And, of course, each Oz sibling has given each other birthday tributes on social media, too. Zoe, in particular, has made it clear on her Instagram that she especially adores Daphne's kids, and has a special bond with her youngest niece, Gigi.

Overall, the Oz siblings clearly have their own things going on and are thriving in their lives in different ways. Yet, it's evident that they're part of a close family that just likes being together.

Lisa Oz and Dr. Mehmet Oz's four children don't just stick together. They also seem to support their father's massive career shift. Since ending his iconic television show, Dr. Oz has demonstrated an interest in politics. In 2024, he was nominated by President Donald Trump to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. If confirmed, he will be expected to work alongside complicated figures, like RFK Jr. Interestingly, Dr. Oz already has an unusual connection to RFK Jr. and the woman with whom he had an affair.

Although just about anything pertaining to politics is sure to result in some level of disagreement, Oz's kids appear to be largely on-board with their dad's big career move. On March 16, 2025, Daphne Oz took to Instagram to share photographs of the family in Washington D.C. for what appeared to be Oz's congressional confirmation hearing. Pictures of the event show Daphne posing alongside her brother, Oliver Oz, and her sister, Arabella Oz, in an elevator. Also present was Daphne's husband, John Jovanovic, and Oliver's wife, Katie Oz, née Ballantine Flinn. In the shot, the kids all seem to be rallying around Dr. Oz and Lisa Oz on what is clearly a big day for the family. Daphne captioned the photos, "One for the memory books. Love you dad!!" She paired the message with two red hearts and an American flag emoji to show her support.
