| Detail | Known value |
|---|---|
| Full name | Dafne María Keen Fernández (per Spanish Wikipedia) |
| Born | 4 January 2005, Madrid, Spain (per Wikipedia) |

Is Dafne Keen in a relationship?
No confirmed public statement from Keen about a partner. Her Instagram and public profiles do not offer a confirmed relationship status.
- The City Celeb profile lists her status as single, but that is unconfirmed gossip (The City Celeb profile).
- Fan speculation should be treated as rumor, not fact.
Is Dafne Keen single?
The only “single” labels come from low-confidence celebrity-bio pages; no primary source confirms them.
Who is Dafne Keen’s partner?
No reliable source names a current partner. Any named person is speculation.
The pattern: relationship rumors stay in the rumor column until a credible outlet or Keen herself confirms them.
What is Dafne Keen’s ethnicity?
- Reported as Spanish and British; avoid a more specific “mixed” label unless a family tree is verified (per Wikipedia).
- She is the daughter of actor Will Keen and actress-director María Fernández Ache (IMDb parent entry).
“The parents are both in the industry.”
— A recurring line in entertainment profiles, not a direct Keen quote.
“She’s a natural.”
— Press framing at the time of Logan’s release, not a direct Keen quote.
Is Dafne Keen mixed?
No fully detailed family-tree record appears in the available sources, so avoid overclaiming a mixed identity.
What languages does Dafne Keen speak?
The source set does not include a complete verified language list; this guide does not print one.
The catch: identity labels are safe at the Spanish-British level, but a granular family-tree or language claim needs primary confirmation.
Who is Dafne Keen in Percy Jackson?
- Dafne Keen is not part of the Percy Jackson cast; the fan-search mix connects her to Disney+ fantasy franchises without making her a Percy Jackson character.
- Zendaya also has no Percy Jackson role; the name appears because franchise searches cross over.
- If a specific Keen character is claimed in Percy Jackson, the confirmation should come from the official Disney or Press-Cast page, not fan pages.
Did Zendaya play in Percy Jackson?
No, Zendaya is not in the Percy Jackson series.
The pattern: franchise search queries can pull in actors from adjacent projects, so check the cast list before treating a name as a role.
How old was Dafne Keen when she made Logan?
- Keen was born on 4 January 2005 (per Rotten Tomatoes).
- Logan was released in 2017 (per Rotten Tomatoes).
- That puts her at 12 at release.
How old is Dafne Keen?
Born on 4 January 2005, she turns 21 in 2026.
How tall is Dafne Keen?
IMDb’s bio page says 1.55 m; Spanish Wikipedia says 1.60 m; Super Stars Bio says 1.5 m. The conflicting data puts height in the unconfirmed zone.
The implication: age at release is a documented number; height is not.
What is Dafne Keen’s net worth?
There is no certified net-worth figure in tier 1/2 sources. Estimates on fan blogs and entertainment sites vary widely: Super Stars Bio places it at US$100,000–120,000, while Bored Panda and The City Celeb estimate $2 million.
What movies and TV shows has Dafne Keen appeared in?
- Logan (2017) — Laura / X-23 (per IMDb).
- His Dark Materials (2019) — Lyra (per Rotten Tomatoes).
- Newer roles are listed on her IMDb page, but this source set does not confirm a complete 2026 filmography.
What this means: keep the confirmed roles and treat the financial figures as unresolved.

What’s clear and what’s still uncertain
The clearly established

The unclear
- Relationship status — no confirmation from a serious source; gossip only.

- Height — conflicting data (IMDb 1.55 m vs Spanish Wikipedia 1.60 m vs Super Stars Bio 1.5 m).
- Exact future 2026 project list — not confirmed in this source set.
The pattern: confirmed biography items come from mainstream reference pages; the unresolved items are the ones celebrity blogs repeat without evidence.
