Hoffman and his wife seem to like watching live basketball games together, as the two were spotted at a playoff game between the Lakers and the Golden State Warriors in May, as well as a Knicks game against the Atlanta Hawks in February.
The 86-year-old, who is still a busy actor with multiple projects coming up, married Lisa in 1980, and the couple has four children together—Jacob, Rebecca, Maxwell and Alexandra.
Hoffman also shares two children with his first wife Anne Byrne, whom he was married to from 1969 to 1980. He adopted her daughter Karina from a previous marriage and together they had a daughter named Jenna.
Speaking with Closer about their long-lasting marriage, Lisa said, "We work hard at it. I knew I was going to end up with Dusty, and that my life would be traveling around with him.”
The two's families reportedly knew each other since before Lisa was born, as Hoffman's mother was friends with her grandmother.
The 69-year-old recalled a family gathering when Hoffman hung out with her and her brother, telling Daily Mail Online, "Dustin was telling us jokes, playing the piano and encouraging me to dance around the living room."
"After we got together, my grandmother reminded me that later that day I had said, 'I hope he waits for me because I want to marry him,'" she added.
