Comedian Ray Romano, 68, has officially entered grandparenthood following the birth of his first grandchild. His daughter, Ally Romano, 35, welcomed her son, Rex Roman Wilezol, approximately one month ago on February 25, 2026.
Ally Romano announced the arrival of her son, describing him as having very long legs and a full head of hair. She shared that while the start to parenthood was not what they imagined, their "strong, very big boy" has taught them a new meaning of love.
Romano had previously expressed his eagerness to become a grandfather. He humorously told the Today show last month that grandparents get to enjoy the fun of babies and then return them when they become troublesome. He anticipates adopting the nickname 'Papa Ray,' a nod to his own father.
Ally Romano and her husband Zachary Wilezol were married on September 21, 2024, at the New York Public Library. They met three years prior through mutual acquaintances.
