Rosario Dawson, 35, adopted a 12 year old daughter back in October
This is surprising and lovely news. Page Six says that Rosario Dawson, 35, has adopted a daughter. Her daughter isn’t a baby though – Rosario has apparently adopted a 12-year-old girl! We rarely hear about celebrities adopting older children, and this serves as a reminder that there are so many older children in need of a home as well.
Rosario Dawson is a new mom. The 35-year-old actress adopted a 12-year-old girl in October, a source tells Page Six. Dawson, who was adopted by her stepfather Greg Dawson when she was 1, has been vocal in the past about her plans, telling Latina magazine in 2008 that she planned to adopt.
“That idea has stayed in the back of my head, but lately, I’ve been thinking about it more,” the “Top Five” star told the mag, explaining, “My mother and grandmother are extraordinary women, and they’re getting older. It struck me recently that one day I might be sitting around with my children, going, ‘Your grandma was an amazing woman; I really wish you could’ve known her.’ . . . Whatever time I have, I want it.”
Dawson, who has sat as an event chair for OrphanAid Africa, split with “Slumdog Millionaire” director Danny Boyle in 2013 and is single. Her rep didn’t get back to us.
I always forget that she had relationship with Danny Boyle. She also had a somewhat brief fling with Michael Fassbender at some point, although I don’t think it was anything serious. It was more like he was rebounding from Nicole Beharie. Anyway, I’m happy for Rosario and I hope she enjoys motherhood. Good for her!
