Meet Ione Skye’s Kids: Kate Netto and Goldie Priya Lee

Ione Skye, born September 4, 1970, in London, England, is a British-American actress, painter, and author widely recognized for her impact on late-1980s and 1990s cinema.

She gained international attention for her breakout performance as Diane Court in Say Anything… (1989), a role that cemented her status as a defining figure in romantic drama films of that era.

Her earlier work began with River’s Edge (1986), followed by appearances in films such as Gas Food Lodging (1992) and Wayne’s World (1992). Over more than three decades, she has moved between mainstream Hollywood productions, independent films, television guest roles, and voice acting.

Alongside acting, she has developed a career as a visual artist and children’s book author.

She is the daughter of Scottish musician Donovan and American model Enid Karl. She spent much of her upbringing in California, where she later trained in acting and developed her early career.

She was married to Adam Horovitz from 1992 to 1999, and later entered a long-term relationship with David Netto, with whom she had her first daughter, Kate. In 2008, she married musician Ben Lee in India, and together they share her second daughter, Goldie Priya Lee.

Ione has built a family life centered around creativity and privacy, balancing life between the United States and Australia. She has spoken about maintaining respectful co-parenting with David Netto while raising her daughters in a grounded and artistically supportive environment alongside her husband.
