December 23 links Royce Alexander Hesterberg with his grandmother Susan Lucci in an unusually simple way: they share a birthday. Royce’s reported birth date is December 23, 2006, exactly 60 years after Lucci’s December 23, 1946 birth. I find that calendar connection a fitting starting point for a young man whose public story remains closely tied to family rather than an independent public career.
Royce is the eldest child of Liza Huber and Alexander George Hesterberg III. He has three younger siblings, Brendan, Hayden Victoria, and Mason Alexander. He is also a grandson of the late Helmut Huber, Susan Lucci’s husband and Liza’s father.
The Eldest of Four Children
The reported December 23, 2006 birth date makes Royce 19 in October 2026, with his twentieth birthday still ahead. He turned 18 on December 23, 2024, entering adulthood while remaining largely outside public attention.
One retelling describes the birth as occurring on a Friday, though December 23, 2006 was a Saturday. I would avoid relying on that weekday detail. The name, year, and birthday are the more useful parts of the limited account, and the age calculation remains conditional on that reported date.
Brendan followed in 2008, Hayden Victoria in 2011, and Mason Alexander in 2013. Those arrivals made Royce the oldest in a household of four children. I would not infer from that position that he had particular responsibilities or a specific personality. Birth order is established more clearly than the private dynamics between siblings.
Liza Huber’s Acting and Business Chapters
Royce’s mother, Liza Victoria Huber, was born on February 22, 1975, on Long Island, New York. Television viewers know her best as Gwen Hotchkiss on Passions, where her work spanned the period from 1999 to 2008.
Her education included communication and media studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, followed by acting study at the Terry Schreiber Studio. These details establish her training rather than suggesting Royce followed the same route.
Liza left acting in 2008. In 2011, she founded Sage Spoonfuls, a children’s feeding company. I see those as two distinct chapters in her working life, both unfolding while her family was growing.
Her business does not provide a career title for her son. No role for Royce in Sage Spoonfuls is established here, and his mother’s entrepreneurial record should not be mistaken for his own employment history.
Alexander George Hesterberg III
Royce’s father is Alexander George Hesterberg III, sometimes called Alex. He is publicly described as a businessman, but a detailed independent account of his career is not established in the available material.
Liza and Alexander first met in first grade, reconnected as adults, and married on March 13, 2004. Royce was born more than two years after the wedding, becoming their first child.
I find the childhood acquaintance a memorable part of the parents’ story, while avoiding the temptation to turn it into a lifelong romance without interruption. The established account specifically includes a later reconnection.
No reliable personal financial disclosure for Alexander is available here. A general description such as businessman does not establish company ownership, salary, or the assets available to other members of the household.
Susan Lucci and Helmut Huber
Susan Victoria Lucci played Erica Kane on All My Children from 1970 to 2011. Her long association with that role explains why her children’s and grandchildren’s names appear in entertainment family profiles.
She married Helmut Huber on September 13, 1969. Helmut was an Austrian-born chef and food-service manager. Their two children were Liza and Andreas Huber.
Helmut died on March 28, 2022, at 84. For Royce, he was a grandfather rather than merely the spouse of a famous actress. I would not invent private memories of their time together, but the relationship remains important within the family outline.
Susan has spoken warmly about being a grandmother. A particular recollection about the name Grammy involved Hayden, not Royce. Keeping that distinction clear prevents one grandchild’s anecdote from becoming another’s biography.
Extended Family Across Generations
Victor Lucci and Jeanette Lucci were Susan’s parents and Royce’s maternal great-grandparents. Victor lived from 1919 to 2002, and Jeanette from 1917 to 2021. Their backgrounds are described as Italian and Swedish respectively.
Andreas Huber is Liza’s younger brother. That makes him Royce’s maternal uncle, rather than a great-uncle. I would keep the generational labels consistent even when family summaries occasionally blur them.

His reported birthday is December 23, the same as his grandmother’s. With 2006 and 1946 as their birth years, they are separated by 60 years.
Is Royce an actor?
No independent acting credit or professional entertainment career is established here. His mother and grandmother’s work should not be treated as evidence of his own career plans.
What is known about his education?
No confirmed school, college, or educational program is established in this account. I would not infer one from the family’s residence or his age.
Is his personal wealth known?
No reliable income, personal net worth, or inheritance arrangement is established. Family fame does not supply a financial disclosure for Royce.
Does Royce have an authenticated public social account?
No personally operated account is authenticated here. His appearance in a family roundup does not show that he maintains a public platform or has chosen a professional public identity.
