His father is the son of immigrant parents, who came to the U.S. in the early 1950s, from Poland. Daryl’s maternal grandfather had German ancestry. Daryl’s maternal grandmother was Ashkenazi Jewish. Daryl and his brother Evan were raised Jewish, and had a twin Bar Mitzvah ceremony.
His twin brother is actor Evan Sabara. Daryl is married to singer and songwriter Meghan Trainor, with whom he has two children.
Daryl’s paternal grandfather was Nikolaj/Nikolaus/Mykola Sabara (the son of Michael Sabara and Maria Khoma/Choma). Nikolaj was born in Sliwnica, Galicia, Poland.
Daryl’s paternal grandmother was Gerda Elisabeth Kreft (the daughter of Albert A. Kreft and Marie Louise Heimowski). Gerda was born in Sopot, Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.

Anyone know anything about his twin brother Evan? Wikipedia says he’s transgender and now goes by Eve, but it’s the only site on the internet that makes this claim. I can’t find anything anywhere else about it. No news stories or anything.
I don’t believe Daryl’s maternal grandfather was Jewish or at least of mainly Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. Edward Meek Krebs (1932-1984), (Illinois) was the son of Ferdinand M Krebs (1900-1952) Putnam, Ohio and Dolores Meck (1905), Illinois. Ferdinand was the son of Joseph Andrew Krebs (1873-1961) Putnam, Ohio and Margaret Castle (1876-1958) Ohio. Joseph’s father Francis Krebs (1847-1910) was born in Bayern, German but does not appear to be Jewish at all. Francis’ wife Maria Flora Heitzman (1850-1920), Ohio, was the daughter of a German, non-Jewish mother Adelhide Haller (1816-1885), Baden, Wuttemberg Germany. There is also some English I can get to on this family tree so maternal grandfather should be changed to German + English
Disregard that. but Edward Meek Krebs parents parents were Fred Krebs and Dolores Meck I believe.
Disregard what part? That they weren’t Jewish?
Sabara’s grandfather seems to have gone by Edward Meck Krebs, although the death record for Fred and Dolores’ son says Edward Paul Krebs. Was this the same person?
@Follers ancestry.com U.S. Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 makes it seem like it is. Same birthplace and time in Illinois. I am not 100% certain.
His mother is named Sandra Gail “Sandy” Krebs. She still uses her birth name.
His father is named Roland Michael Sabara.
He is Russian Jewish and German
