Lawyer Christina Daddario, née Titus, did not push Alexandra Daddario, who has piercing blue eyes, to become a high-powered office dweller like herself. The matriarch also has the sweetest reason for wanting "The White Lotus" spoilers.

Alexandra Daddario's mother and father encouraged her to pursue the creative path they did not take. Christina Daddario is a lawyer for the wealth management company Merrill Lynch and is of Hungarian, Slovak, German, and English ancestry.

She attended the Guggenheim International Gala 2022 with her daughter. Her husband practices law in the public sphere, which had him sent to Russia for a few months.

Christina Is a Main Critic of Her Daughter's Social Media Posts

While faceless trolls take most performers down a few pegs over their social media content, Alexandra Daddario is well acquainted with her top critic, her mother.

In the spirit of keeping things light, the starlet shared an airplane selfie. Christina was unamused by the snap taken on a flight to Japan showcasing the actress squinting at the camera. Her make-up-free face is framed by a messy bedhead topped with a sleeping mask.

The Merrill Lynch lawyer emailed her daughter a stern and to-the-point "takedown notice." Proud of the authenticity of the post, the actress ignored the request and laughed about it on Harry Connick's talk show afterward.

Christina Needed to Know Her Daughter's Character Was Alive

The mystery surrounding who was killed and by whom at a luxury resort in Hawaii kept audiences coming back for "The White Lotus" weekly episode release. But Christina was too worried about the fate of her child's role even to begin watching the HBO hit without spoilers.

Cassandra Clare handpicked the actor to play Alec Lightwood in the TV adaptation despite him trying out for another part.

Alexandra played Rachel Patton, a journalist on her honeymoon with Shane (Jake Lacy). The actress did not say how her concerned mom reacted to Rachel being read the riot act by a CFO played by Connie Britton.

Christina's Husband Is Also a Lawyer While Their Children All Went to Acting

Richard C. Daddario worked as a prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York City for 13 years until 2009 and was the Department of Justice's attaché in Moscow. He was appointed the NYC Police Department Deputy Commissioner for Counterterrorism in 2010, a position he held until 2013.

During his tenure at the U.S. Attorney's Office, he handled violent crime cases such as organized crime, drug trafficking, and public corruption. He also supervised or was the lead attorney on cases linked to terrorism.

Born December 16, 1992, Christina's youngest, Catharine Daddario, still has to catch up to her famous sister and brother. However, at 5' 9", she has the dubious distinction of being an inch taller than her big sister.

She appeared with her brother Matthew in the 2022 comedy "Dance Dads." The actress was also in the eerie music video of "Nowhere Now" by indie New Jersey band Wyland. Next, she will be Cici in the 2023 sci-fi heist "The Tomorrow Job."
