Simon Baker’s rarely-seen lookalike daughter Stella, 30, walks hand-in-hand with a male companion during outing in New York

Stella Baker looked just like her dad when she stepped out for a winter walk in New York City on Sunday.

The 30-year-old actress and daughter of Australian actor Simon Baker, 54, cut a casual figure as she enjoyed an outing with Spencer James.

Keeping warm in a large black overcoat, Stella walked arm-in-arm with her beau while wearing a pair of straight leg denim jeans and a red knitted jumper.

She layered her look with a scarf wrapped around her neck which concealed her long golden-blonde locks, as well as a pale pink beanie.

Stella is an actor just like her father, who is best known for his role in the television series The Mentalist.

She took advice from her dad to take up a career in Hollywood after finding a passion for stage shows.

‘I remember my dad saying to me, “If you’re happy to do theatre for no money for the rest of your life — because that’s what most actors end up doing — great, and we totally support you, and if you get lucky, you get lucky”,’ she told 9Entertainment.

‘So far I have been lucky, but I would be happy to do anything because I just love it.’

Despite his accolades as an actor, Simon has previously gushed over Stella and his two sons Claude and Harry, saying his children are his ‘pride and joy.’

Simon married Rebecca Rigg, Stella’s mother, in 1998 before separating in 2022.

Speaking to GQ magazine, the actor, who was 24 when Stella was born, said that his wife and family were the secret to his success in La La Land.

‘When we arrived [in the US], I had a child and responsibilities. As a result, I viewed the concept of success as being able to provide for my family,’ he told GQ Australia in 2015.

‘To achieve this, I had to deliver consistent performances, be professional on and off set… my circumstances have never allowed me to be selfish and that’s contributed to the success we’ve had in America.’
