- Full name is Daniel Edward Aykroyd
- First marriage to Maureen Lewis ended in divorce. They had 3 children, Mark, Lloyd & Oscar
- Married Donna Dixon in 1983 & had 2 children, Danielle Alexandra, Belle Kingston. (I suspect Belle’s second name is a nod to Kingston, Ontario where Aykroyd spent time at a cottage just north of the city. He owns a home near Sydenham, Ontario now.)
