Kiowa Gordon Net Worth, Age, Wife, Kids, Parents, Height, Weight, Siblings and Education

Last Updated: October 27, 2026,

Say the name Kiowa Gordon and most people think of one of two things. Either they picture the quiet, loyal wolf pack member from the Twilight movies, or they picture Jim Chee, the young Navajo Tribal Police officer on AMC's Dark Winds. Both are the same guy, and he has quietly built a solid career between those two roles.

I've seen a lot of pages about him that repeat the same few facts, and some of those facts are just wrong. So this is a fresh 2026 version that covers the basics people keep searching for: net worth, age, wife, kids, parents, siblings, height, weight and school. Where something can't be confirmed, I'll say so instead of pretending.

Kiowa Gordon Net Worth in 2026

This is the question that brings most people here, so let's deal with it straight away. Nobody outside his own circle knows exactly how much Kiowa Gordon is worth. He hasn't shared a number, and there's no public record that settles it. What you find online are estimates, and they don't match.

Taddlr says he has made around $3 million, and a few other sites round that up toward $4 million. Then you have Cine Networth and The City Celeb, which both land at about $2 million. So the honest answer for 2026 is somewhere between $2 million and $4 million.

In the 2024 version of this article, I used $4 million. That sits at the high end of the range, and I'd rather give you the whole picture this time than one confident looking number.

Why the Estimates Are So Different

Sites that publish celebrity net worth usually work from guesses. They look at how many projects an actor has done, how big those projects were, and what similar actors tend to earn. Then they pick a number. One site might count his Twilight pay generously, and another might focus mostly on his television salary. That's why you can see a gap of a couple of million dollars for the same person.

It's also worth remembering that net worth isn't the same as income. It's what someone owns minus what they owe. Taxes, agents, managers, rent and everyday life all come out of an actor's earnings, so the figure on a website is rarely as simple as it looks.

Where His Money Likely Comes From

Without a confirmed breakdown, we can only look at his work and make reasonable assumptions. These are the likely sources:

• A regular lead role on Dark Winds, which has now run for four seasons.
• Film roles, including Blood Quantum, Quantum Cowboys and Rez Ball.
• Pay from The Twilight Saga films, which made a huge amount at the box office.
• Television work on The Red Road, Roswell, New Mexico and The Liberator.

Will It Go Up?

It probably will. Deadline reported in February 2026 that Dark Winds had been renewed early for a fifth season. When an actor has a steady job on a hit show, income usually grows with each season, so I wouldn't be surprised if the estimates creep up over the next few years.

Age and Birthday

Kiowa Gordon was born on March 25, 1990, so he's 36 years old as of October 2026. His date of birth appears on both Wikipedia and IMDb.

My old article said he was 32. That was right in 2022, but time has moved on, and a lot of pages online still show outdated ages. If you ever see him listed as 32 or 33, you're looking at old content.

His sun sign is Aries, thanks to the late March birthday. Fans sometimes say that suits him, because he often plays characters with a lot of drive and a bit of a temper.

Early Life and Birthplace

Kiowa was born in Berlin, Germany. His father, Thomas Gordon, was working there at the time, which is the simple reason a kid with Arizona roots ended up being born in Europe. The family didn't stay. According to Wikipedia, they moved back to the United States when he was about two, and he grew up in Arizona.

That's why calling Berlin his hometown, as I did in the older article, isn't really accurate. Berlin is where he was born. Arizona is where he grew up, went to school and found his way into acting.

How Twilight Found Him

His start in acting has a story that sounds almost made up. Gordon attended an LDS church for a while, in the same ward as Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight books. By his own account, Meyer approached him at church and thought he'd be right for the wolf pack. He went to an open casting call after that and got the part of Embry Call, who is Jacob Black's best friend.

Wikipedia marks some of the details of this story as needing a better source, so it's fair to treat it as how he tells it rather than a documented fact. Still, it's a fun bit of history, and it explains why a young man from Arizona suddenly found himself in one of the biggest movie franchises around.

Parents and Family Background

His parents are Thomas Gordon and Camille Nighthorse Gordon. Family comes up again and again in anything he says about his life, so it's worth knowing a little about them.

His Mother, Camille Nighthorse Gordon

Camille is an actress, and she is a member of the Hualapai Nation of Northern Arizona. That's where Kiowa's tribal connection comes from. It's also not hard to imagine that having an actress for a mother made the idea of working in film feel less distant when he was growing up. She gave him both his heritage and, in a way, an early example of what an acting life can look like.

His Father, Thomas Gordon

Thomas has European ancestry. Some profiles add Scottish, Jewish and Choctaw roots to that. His job abroad is the reason Kiowa was born in Berlin. Beyond that, there isn't much public information about him, and the family seems happy to keep it that way.

Siblings

Kiowa is the seventh of eight children, so he grew up surrounded by brothers and sisters. Wikipedia lists his siblings as:

• MacGregor, who goes by Mac
• Sean
• Aaron
• Josh
• Cheyenne
• Sariah
• Lakota

If you follow him on Instagram, you'll see his family pop up a lot. He seems to be close with his siblings, and filming schedules don't appear to get in the way of that. With a family that size, I imagine holidays are pretty loud.

Education

Kiowa Gordon went to Cactus Shadows High School in Cave Creek, Arizona. According to Wikipedia, he also spent earlier years at other schools around Arizona, including Mountain View High School and Stapley Junior High School.

What About College?

People ask this all the time, and the plain answer is that there's no reliable information. I haven't found any trustworthy source saying he went to college or finished a degree. My older article said the same thing, and nothing has changed.

What we do know is that he started acting young. He was in his late teens when New Moon came out in 2009, so a lot of what he learned about the craft probably came from working on sets with experienced people.

Ethnicity, Heritage and Nationality

This is where my 2024 article needed the biggest fix. I had listed his ethnicity as English and Irish, and his religion as Christianity. That doesn't line up with the better sources. Both Wikipedia and IMDb describe him as a member of the Hualapai Tribe through his mother, with European ancestry on his father's side.

Nationality

He's American. He was born in Germany, but his parents are American, and there's no solid support for the claim that he's also a German national. I've removed that line.

Religion

I couldn't find any confirmed statement about what he practices today. All that's documented is that he attended an LDS church for a period when he was younger. I'd rather leave it at that than guess.

Height, Weight and Physical Details

Height

Kiowa Gordon is 5 feet 10 inches tall, which works out to about 178 cm, according to IMDb. Some pages say 5 feet 11 inches, so you might see both. The difference is about an inch, so it hardly matters.

Weight

His weight has never been officially published. Celebrity tracking pages usually estimate it between 72 and 76 kg, or roughly 158 to 168 pounds. That's a guess, not a measurement. I've also taken out the chest size that was in my first version, because I couldn't verify it anywhere I trust.

Wife, Relationships and Marital Status

Kiowa Gordon isn't married. Reports on Tuko and Briefly both say that the rumours about a wife are unverified and false. He hasn't publicly announced a wife or a girlfriend.

Dating Rumours

When an actor plays opposite someone on a popular show, people start guessing. That's what happened with his Dark Winds costar Jessica Matten. The reports I found say the romance talk isn't true and that the two are close friends who get along like family. His private life stays private, so the safest thing to say is that he hasn't shared a partner with the public.

Kids

Kiowa has one daughter, Kaili, who was born in 2013. He doesn't share much about her, which seems like a sensible choice for a child. I've also decided not to name or describe her mother, since she's a private person and her details don't add anything useful here.

Acting Career

The Twilight Years

He made his screen debut in 2009 as Embry Call in The Twilight Saga: New Moon. He came back for Eclipse in 2010 and Breaking Dawn Part 1 in 2011. According to Wikipedia, he took over the part from Krys Hyatt, who played Embry in the first Twilight movie.

For a lot of young actors, a role like that can box them in. Gordon went a different direction. Instead of chasing similar parts, he took smaller films and stories that mattered to him, many of them about Native characters.

Films That Shaped His Career

Here are some of the titles that stand out:

• The Lesser Blessed (2012), where he played Johnny Beck and won Best Supporting Actor at the American Indian Film Festival.
• Drunktown's Finest (2014).
• Wind Walkers (2015), a thriller built around a Native American urban legend.
• An Act of War (2015), which came out on Netflix.
• Painted Woman (2017).
• Through Black Spruce (2018).
• Blood Quantum (2019), a zombie horror film that got a lot of attention at festivals.
• Castle in the Ground (2019).
• Quantum Cowboys (2022), where he had a lead role.
• Rez Ball (2024), where he played Antonio Freeman.

Television Work

On television, he joined The Red Road in 2014 as Junior Van Der Veen. In 2019 he showed up in Roswell, New Mexico as Flint Manes, and in 2020 he played Corporal Kanuna in the miniseries The Liberator. Some profiles also list guest work on Reservation Dogs.

Dark Winds and Recent Projects

Dark Winds is the show that defines where he is right now. He was announced as Jim Chee in 2021, and the series premiered on June 12, 2022, according to Wikipedia. It's based on Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn and Chee novels, and the executive producers include Robert Redford, George R. R. Martin and Zahn McClarnon, who also plays Joe Leaphorn.

The show follows Navajo Tribal Police officers in the 1970s, and Chee is the younger one, often torn between tradition and ambition. That tension is a big part of why viewers connect with him.

Season 4 in 2026

JustWatch lists Season 4 as available from February 15, 2026. Chee is a sergeant now, and things get complicated for him. An AV Club recap talks about the moment Jim finds out Joe picked Bernadette over him as the next police lieutenant. The reviewer says Gordon plays it like a punch to the stomach.

He also gave an interview to Awards Focus about the season. He talked about the personal experiences he used to understand Chee's struggle with identity, and about being directed by Zahn McClarnon, his longtime costar. He also pointed out that the story time between Season One and Season Four is actually less than a year, which helps explain how fast things change for Chee.

Season 5 Is Confirmed

Just ahead of the Season 4 premiere, in February 2026, AMC renewed the show for an eight episode fifth season. Deadline covered the announcement. So for now, Kiowa Gordon has steady work lined up, and fans have more of Chee to look forward to.

Music Background

Before acting took over, Kiowa was briefly the vocalist for a progressive metal band called Touché. He left to focus on his acting career. It's a side of him that surprises some people, because Embry Call and Jim Chee are both pretty calm characters. Some profiles still describe him as an actor and a musician, so it seems music never fully left his life.

Things Websites Keep Getting Wrong

A lot of the pages about him copy each other, which means mistakes spread. These are the ones I see most often:

• His ethnicity. Some pages say English and Irish. The better sources say Hualapai through his mother and European through his father.
• His hometown. Berlin is his birthplace, but he was raised in Arizona.
• His age. Older pages still say 32 or 33. He's 36 in 2026.
• His marriage. There's no confirmed wife, and the rumours are unverified.
• His net worth. It's an estimate, not a confirmed number, and it ranges from about $2 million to $4 million.

If you're ever unsure, check the date on the page. A lot of these errors come from content published years ago and never updated.

Final Thoughts

Kiowa Gordon didn't take the easy route after Twilight, and that's probably why his career has lasted. He grew up in Arizona, got an unexpected break through a church meeting, and then spent more than a decade picking roles that gave him something to work with. Dark Winds is the proof that it paid off.

With four seasons done and a fifth already confirmed, his profile should keep growing, and his earnings along with it. The exact net worth is anyone's guess, but what's easy to see is an actor who has become a real presence in stories about Native people on screen. It'll be interesting to see what he chooses next.
