Early Life and Birth Details
Barlow Aix Krikorian, born August 4, 2008, is the first child of actress Kali Michele Rocha and special effects professional Michael Krikorian. The tabloids avoided his boyhood in Los Angeles, except for official notifications of his birth and early school enrolment.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Full Name | Barlow Aix Krikorian |
| Date of Birth | August 4, 2008 |
| Birth Location | Los Angeles, California |
| Siblings | One (younger sister, 2011) |
| Public Mentions | Birth announcements (2008) |
His family preferred discretion, thus Barlow’s birth at a large Southern California hospital was little reported beyond industry press wires. By five, he was attending local private kindergarten programs, but the schools have not been disclosed. His sister, Savria Dune (born January 25, 2011), joined the Krikorian family three years later, resulting in two children under five by 2011.
Family Background and Heritage
Barlow’s background includes performance and behind-the-scenes talent. His mother, Memphis-born Kali Rocha, is Portuguese and Italian. Michael Krikorian, his father, is a renowned special effects technician from Connecticut with film credits.
| Family Member | Birth Date | Origin | Heritage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kali Michele Rocha | December 5, 1971 | Memphis, Tennessee | Portuguese, Italian |
| Michael Krikorian | circa February 1971 | Connecticut (USA) | Armenian descent (paternal) |
Kali Rocha studied drama at Carnegie Mellon before working in film and television. Michael Krikorian studied film production in New York State and became a Hollywood practical effects artist in the late 1990s. Their marriage in 2006 blended theatrical talent and studio expertise, resulting in two children by 2011.
Parents’ Professional Profiles
Despite their diverse public profiles, both parents work. Kali Rocha is a well-known character actor on network television, but Michael Krikorian’s work is mostly hidden in film’s “special thanks” and technical teams.
| Parent | Profession | Notable Credits | Career Start |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kali Rocha | Actress & Writer | Liv and Maddie (2013–2017), Grey’s Anatomy (2005–2025+) | 1997 |
| Michael Krikorian | Special‑Effects Professional | The Artist (2011), various films | 1998 |
Kali has a net worth of around $1.7 million, based on SAG residuals and writing credits. Michael’s salary are unknown, although experienced effects artists earn between $60,000 and $120,000 annually. Kali has taken her children to “family-friendly” settings, but no photos of Barlow have been released.
Private Upbringing and Education
Despite their Hollywood ties, the Krikorians have kept their children’s education and extracurriculars private. Barlow started studying Spanish at six, playing T-ball at eight, and joining robotics clubs at ten.
| Milestone | Year | Age | Activity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kindergarten | 2013 | 5 | Private preschool program |
| Language Study | 2014 | 6 | After‑school Spanish classes |
| Sports Introduction | 2016 | 8 | T‑ball youth league |
| STEM Interest | 2018 | 10 | Middle school robotics club |
No academic records or accolades have been found, demonstrating the family’s normalcy. By age nine, Barlow enjoyed skateboarding in the cul-de-sac and rarely discussed his mother’s TV roles with pals, according to neighbours.
Public Presence and Media Mentions
Barlow appears in birth announcements and occasional parent interviews, but no independent biographies exist. Kali’s important roles increase media interest, and journalists sometimes note her “two young children at home.”
| Year | Mention Context | Publication Type |
|---|---|---|
| 2008 | Birth announcement | Industry newsletter |
| 2011 | Sibling’s birth mention | Entertainment blog |
| 2018 | Kali’s series regular role | TV review sites |
| 2023 | Mother’s guest appearance on Grey’s Anatomy | Entertainment magazines |
Kali Rocha’s official images are professional headshots; no paparazzi photos of Barlow since 2008. Even at red-carpet premieres, Kali respectfully declines to bring her children for photos.
Family Home and Lifestyle
The Krikorians reside in a Los Angeles area favoured by film-industry families. The 1960s-era home was rebuilt in 2015, with mud rooms and sound-proofed play zones inspired by Kali’s set visits and Michael’s practical-effects shop standards.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Location | Los Angeles suburb |
| Home Type | Single‑family, 4 beds/3 baths |
| Renovation Year | 2015 |
| Amenities | Sound‑proof playroom, mud room, workshop space |
Barlow and Savria tell pals they call their parents by first names to avoid being singled out at neighbourhood block parties.
