Per Soap Central, the first generation of DiMeras were Stefano’s parents. His father was a traveling salesman from Italy named Santo DiMera (via Soaps). However, his mother’s name has never been revealed. Not much is known about Stefano’s childhood, except that he had six older brothers. Stefano’s family tree is long and twisted with branches that span through multiple other “Days of Our Lives” families.
Andre is the oldest son of Stefano. He was killed in 2018. Meanwhile, Tony was thought to be Stefano’s son with Daphne DiMera for years before it was revealed that the two weren’t biologically related. However, Stefano adopted Tony into the DiMera family and he’s been considered a member of the clan ever since. Stefano also fathered Renee DuMonde with Lee DuMonde and Megan Hathaway with an unknown woman. He was later revealed to be the father of Benjy Hawk, his son with Ellen Hawk, and Lexie Carver, whom he shared with Celeste Perrault.
Stefano fathered his next son, EJ with Susan Banks, and was also confirmed to be the biological father of Chad, whose mother was Madeline Peterson Woods. After Stefano’s death, it was also confirmed that he fathered twins, Stefan and Jake, with Vivian Alamain, per Soaps in Depth. Over the years Stefano also adopted Peter Blake and his sister, Kristen, who later took the last name DiMera.
While Stefano had many children, he was also the grandfather to many as well.
