Ray Romano
Ray Romano announced the exciting news on Sherri in March 2026 that he’d recently become a first-time grandfather. The Everybody Loves Raymond actor and wife Anna Scarpulla’s daughter, Ally Romano, and her husband, Zachary Wilezol, welcomed a baby boy named Rex Roman Wilezol on February 25, 2026.
“He was a big boy at 9 lbs, 11 oz. Yeah, a big guy,” Ray revealed to host Sherri Shepherd. “My daughter had our first grandchild.”
Asked if he was willing to be a “hands-on grandpa,” Ray pointed out, “I have four kids, myself! I had twin boys so I’ve done my share of diapers. I haven’t done it in a while but it’s good that I’m going to get back in practice because soon I’m going to have to change my own!”
The comedian hinted that he would be called “Papa Ray” as an homage to his own children calling his father “Papa Al.”
A few weeks later, Ally shared the first photo of Rex to celebrate the one-month anniversary of his birth.
“One month with my guy, Rex Roman Wilezol,” she wrote via Instagram on March 25, 2026. “He (begrudgingly) arrived on 2/25/26 with very long legs, massive hands, a full head of hair and the most perfect lips.”
Ally went on, “Although it wasn’t the start to parenthood we imagined, our strong, very big boy has shown us a new meaning to love. He’s given us a run for our money, but he’s my new bestie and a trooper!”
