Meet Scott Baio's children: Bailey DeLuca Baio and stepdaughter Kalyn LaNae' Sloan

Scott Baio's children include his biological daughter, Bailey Baio, and a stepdaughter, Kalyn Sloan, born to his wife from a previous relationship. In a 2010 interview with the Chicago Parent, the actor admitted that although he was initially reluctant to start a family, fatherhood is the "best thing" that ever happened to him. ​

I was not emotionally and mentally ready to settle down because I lived a Peter Pan-like existence for a long time. However, when I became a dad, my perspective on certain things in life changed. Now, I just want to be a good guy and a good father.

Bailey was diagnosed with a rare metabolic disorder as a newborn

Bailey was diagnosed with Glutaric Acidemia Type 1 shortly after birth. In a 2008 interview with People, Renée shared how the news took a toll on them, saying:

Scott was a first-time father. He would cry every time he saw a baby. I was in constant fear that my child would die. The diagnosis broke us.

Luckily, when Bailey was 10 weeks old, doctors confirmed the diagnosis was a false positive. Baio shared the good news with his X (Twitter) followers, writing:

Our daughter is 100% healthy. She is only a carrier of the GA-1 gene. Her late twin had the disorder.

Following the scare, Renée and Scott launched the Bailey Baio Angel Foundation to provide financial aid to families affected by metabolic disorders.
