Her true name was disclosed after seven years
Isabella was 11 years old when she moved in with her mother, Rosario, in 2013, and she was adopted in 2014. Rosario did not reveal her true identity until 2021. Before her true identity was discovered, Isabella went by the name Lola. When queried about Lola’s age on the Parents’ We Are Family podcast, she claimed that Lola was not her real name. She went on to claim that when she adopted her, she didn’t give her a name. Isabella has no idea where the name originated from, but it was as if someone had retained her name and everyone continued racing after it.
She didn’t feel the need to correct it at the time, but as her daughter got older, Isabella didn’t enjoy everyone calling her Lola, so she decided to officially tell her name. Isabella was named after Isabel, her grandmother.
What made her mother decide to adopt an older child?
Rosario disclosed the actual reason for adopting an older kid when speaking on The Kelly Clarkson Show. She was only five years old when she discovered that her father was not her biological father, and her attitude on adoption shifted as a result. He married her mother when she was 18 and had a one-year-old daughter, and raised her as his own. She said that she might have been like the other kids in the neighborhood from single-parent families, but her father married her mother when she was a toddler.
Dawson, five, then pondered the possibility that her father had not married her mother. Would someone have wanted to marry her mom? She remembered telling her parents that she planned to adopt older children since it’s simple to adopt a pretty tiny baby, but what about the children her age and older who also need parents? It is unknown if she has any biological siblings. However, she is Rosario’s sole adopted child.
She does not own a mobile phone.
Rosario disclosed to Access in December 2018 that Isabella does not have a mobile phone. She believes it is vital, yet she grew up without one. Isabella went on to say that there is a lot of talk about brain development and how crucial it is that we learn in three dimensions. She also said that she discussed it with Isabella, citing instances of other children who are growing online based on their likes and dislikes.
Her mother’s marital situation
Rosario Dawson was in a relationship with US Senator Cory Booker until splitting up in February 2022. In the summer of 2018, the pair met at a political fundraiser for a mutual acquaintance. Booker told The Washington Post in 2019 that they chatted for hours and hours the night they met.
He admitted to not knowing how to acquire Dawson’s phone number and remembered naively suggesting how he would contact her, following which Dawson inquired if he wanted her phone number. Rosario later said that she thought Booker to be charming, despite the fact that their relationship was a slow burn. Dawson announced her romance with Booker in March 2019. Dawson seemed to have moved on after her breakup with Booker. She is now related to poet Nnamdi Okafor after sharing a brief video with him in August.
Okafor said in the video, “I Love You,” to which Dawson replied, “I Love You Too.” On August 13, she wished him a happy birthday by posting a short video of them dancing to Sonny & Cher’s “I got you, darling.”
