Rosario Dawson, 44, set to welcome her first grandchild next year

Rosario Dawson is going to become one glamorous grandma!

The “Rent” star, 44, let slip to Page Six during an exclusive interview Wednesday that her daughter, Isabella, is currently expecting her first child.

“It’s very exciting,” Dawson gushed, adding that the baby is due next year and she plans on being called a “Glamma.”

The actress adopted Isabella, 21, in 2014, when she was 11 years old.

In a 2021 interview with Health magazine, Dawson shared that she didn’t go through an adoption agency or center.

She knew Isabella’s biological mother and sought the child out after finding out she was in foster care.

“It wasn’t even a question; it was clearly meant to be,” she said.

Previously, the “Dopesick” star has described motherhood as “the most incredible thing.”

“Especially when you get a kid at that age,” she told People in 2018. “You introduce yourself and they come and move into your house.”

Dawson has mostly kept Isabella out of the spotlight — although the two did attend a red carpet together in September 2017.

The actress has also posted a handful of photos of Isabella on social media, including a carousel of pics in June 2021 of the young one and Rosario’s stepfather, Greg Dawson, in honor of Father’s Day.

“Thank you for being the best GranDaddy-O! 🤍🤍🤍🤍,” she wrote alongside the post.

It also features Woody Harrelson, Laura Dern, Donald Glover and Ian Somerhalder.

She told us that the film doesn’t “shy away from just how dire the situation is” but explains that it’s also not all doom and gloom.

“What I love about it is, is that it’s a love letter,” Dawson explained. “It’s a promise that we are going to do something about it. And we are.”

Dawson is no stranger to activism, having co-founded Voto Latino, an organization that encourages young Hispanic and Latino voters to register to vote.

The “Seven Pounds” star got an up-close look at politics when she dated Senator Cory Booker. Though the pair broke up in 2022, they are still on friendly terms.

“He’s so wonderful. And he’s got a really good heart,” she shared.

“And it’s nice to know that there are people like that in office who really take it seriously, who are not going to hold back on getting legislation passed because they don’t want the person to sign it to get credit.”
