By Stig Editor Headline: Bob Dylan’s Youngest Daughter Desiree Welcomes Twin Girls in a Melody-Filled Home Birth
In the quiet hills of Laurel Canyon, where music seems to hang in the air like the scent of jasmine, Desiree Gabrielle Dennis-Dylan—youngest daughter of the legendary Bob Dylan—welcomed twin girls into the world in a home birth filled with soft guitar strums, candlelight, and poetry.
Desiree, 39, gave birth just after sunrise on a golden June morning, surrounded by her wife Kayla, a midwife, and a small circle of close friends and family. According to a family spokesperson, the couple named their daughters Aria Rayne and Lyric Moon—names they say reflect “the music of life and the poetry of love.”
“Dad cried,” Desiree reportedly said with a laugh, referring to Bob Dylan, who was present and strummed a few chords of Forever Young as the girls took their first breaths. “He said they arrived with rhythm in their souls.”
The couple, who married in 2014, have lived quietly in the creative enclave of Laurel Canyon, surrounded by artists, musicians, and a grove of orange trees. Both Desiree and Kayla are involved in the performing arts—Desiree as an actress and singer, and Kayla as a theatrical director. They plan to raise their daughters immersed in nature, music, and stories.
“They’ll hear Chopin and Coltrane before they know cartoons,” Desiree joked in a brief, heartfelt message shared with friends.
While the Dylan family has long guarded their privacy, this moment was shared, as Desiree put it, “in celebration of the next generation of dreamers.”
No photos have been released, but sources say the nursery is painted in shades of lavender and sea blue, and there’s already a small ukulele mounted on the wall—just waiting for little hands.
